Revision as of 01:51, 28 December 2021
Background
Following Infogrames folding Humongous Entertainment in 2006, they created a new standalone subsidiary called Humongous, Inc. as an IP holder for the Humongous properties. The division soon released ports of Humongous' games with Majesco Entertainment on the Wii (under license from Infogrames/Atari) and later on IOS, being published through Atari.
In 2013, Humongous, Inc. was one of the subsidiaries of Atari to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in the United States. The company was soon sold in Atari's IP sale to Tommo, Inc. in July of that year. Since then, the company has remained a subsidiary of Tommo.
1st Logo (2007-2014)
Nicknames: "Humongous Boredom"
Logo: On a white background, we see the words "Humongous" in a modern-like font with an orange circle covering the "H".
Variants:
- Sometimes, the background is black.
- Sometimes, there's copyright information below the logo.
FX/SFX: None, at least on DS.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Appears on many titles from Humongous' properties, including the Wii ports of Pajama Sam In: Don't Fear the Dark (originally released as Pajama Sam In: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside), Spy Fox in Dry Cereal, and Freddi Fish: Kelp Seed Mystery (originally released as Freddi Fish and the Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds), and Backyard Sports titles from 2007 until 2010.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (2014-)
Nickname(s): "New He!", "New Humongous He!", "Return of the Humongous He!"
Logo: Same as the 1996-2007 logo, but the outside of the logo is blue, the "H" and "E" is yellow and the company name is, again, in a different font (Gill Sans Ultra Bold), facing inwards, and is now colored white.
FX/SFX: None; this is a still logo.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Currently in use. Appears on the 28 Humongous games re-released in 2014, plastering the older logos.
Editor's Note: A nice comeback of the classic "He!" logo.
3rd Logo (July 4, 2016-)
Nicknames: "Pajama Sam's Animation", "New He! II", "New Humongous He! II", "The Crayon Drawn-CGI Mix logo"
Logo: Same as the 4th Humongous Entertainment logo, but it's redone and reanimated in wide-screen and uses the new Humongous logo. When it pops, the background fades to white and the logo doesn't shine.
FX/SFX: Same as the 4th logo.
Music/Sounds: Same as the Humongous logo from the time period.
Availability: Was featured on Humongous' Social Media pages on July 4, 2016, and recently appeared in trailers for Nintendo Switch re-releases of Freddi Fish and the Case of the Stolen Conch Shell and Putt-Putt Travels Through Time.
Editor's Note: None.
