Following the rebrand of their subsidiaries under the Atari name in May 2003, Infogrames' presence was reduced to solely being a holding company that licensed out the Atari brand name from Atari Interactive. In October 2008, the company fully purchased Atari, Inc. and in May 2009, was rebranded as "[[Atari SA]]", after many financial struggles.
On April 23, 2024, Atari SA revived the [[Infogrames (2024-present)|Infogrames]] brand as a publishing label for titles that don't fit within the Atari brand name.

'''Visuals:''' Against a white background is a tall black armadillo with a rather sinister expression on its face, and 5 colored bands across the middle in this order: {{color|blue}}, {{color|green}}, {{color|gold|yellow}}, {{color|darkred|dark red}}, and {{color|red}}. Surrounding the armadillo at its feet is 2 black lines, along with the text "'''INFOGRAMES'''" below everything.
'''Trivia:''' The choice of an armadillo as the company's logo was because the animal "has always survived changes to its environment, from the melting of glaciers to the worst of heat waves", when the company moved to Villeurbanne.

'''Visuals:''' On a white background, a black stroke draws a curve, which starts to swirl around several times in a spring-like spiral shape, all the while it pans to the left. When the spirals are finished, the stroke then does a small loop before drawing a large curve and hooking on the end, all the while 2 feet, an eye and colored bands ({{color|teal|blue}}, {{color|green}}, {{color|orange}}, {{color|red}}, and {{color|darkviolet|purple}} in that order) fade in, forming an abstract rendition of the armadillo logo. "'''INFOGRAMES'''" then fades in below.
'''Variants:'''
* A still version exists, which was spotted on pre-2000 Game Boy Color games and on DOS versions of ''The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun'', ''Tintin in Tibet'', ''The Smurfs'', ''Asterix and Obelix'' and ''Spirou''.
* A few games feature the still version with the armadillo completely in {{color|gold|yellow}} and on a black background. The games include ''Mission: Impossible'', ''Starshot: Space Circus Fever'' (with the [[Nintendo]] logo), and ''V-Rally Edition '99'' on the N64, and an animated variant appeared on ''Independence War - Defiance'' (an expansion pack to ''Independence War'' that was bundled with the base game).
* On ''Mission: Impossible'' for the PS1, its similar to the {{color|gold|yellow}} variant, but the armadillo is fully in {{color|red|wine red}}.
* On ''Ballistic'' for the PS1, copyright information appears when the logo finishes.
* On ''Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time'', the still logo is flat. Then it cuts to the [[Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]] logo.
'''Availability:'''
* The still version first appeared on ''Asterix & Obelix'' for MS-DOS. It was seen on N64 and GBC games of the era.
* The animated version first appeared on ''V-Rally'' for PS1, and appeared on most of the company's PS1, PC and early Dreamcast titles from the time. Strangely, theThe last game to feature this logo was the PS1 version and later copies of the PC version of ''Nicktoons Racing'', even though the entire packaging, title screen, and GBA version feature the next logo.
===3rd Logo (February 29, 2000-May 9, 2003)===
* A still version exists. Sometimes, the logo is in the print style seen on game cases by this company, though this variant on some GBA games like ''Backyard Baseball'' could have its colors inverted, with a copyright notice below.
* Another variant has the armadillo standing on the left side of the name banner. This was mainly used for packaging.
* On the PS2 version of ''Splashdown'' and ''Stuntman'', only the banner appears on a {{color|blue}} background, followed by the 2001 Atari logo. The 2002 version of ''Le Mans 24 Hours'' uses a {{color|red}} background.
* On ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' for Xbox, the logo is inverted, still and pans from bottom to top, plastering the [[Hasbro Interactive]] logo. ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 2'' has the logo on a white square over a black background, and pans from top to bottom.
* For the Lyons House division, it uses the same animation, but when it ends, the armadillo fades out and "Lyons House" writes itself below the banner. It uses a droning synth after the usual music. It is followed by the [[Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]] logo and is seen on ''Sheep, Dog, 'n' Wolf'' (or ''Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider'' in North America).
'''Technique:''' CGI by Florian Perret and Attik.
'''Audio:''' Several weird whooshing and stretching sounds and a synthesized hit (most of them are from [[Hanna-Barbera]]'s sound effects library), ending in a heavy synth chord.
'''Audio Variants:'''
* On ''Blue's Clues: Blue's Reading Time Activities'', the still version has the tail end of the [[Humongous Entertainment]] drum roll playing over it.
'''Availability:''' Used on lots ofmany games from this period, produced by Infogrames and/or its divisions.
* Games branded under the Atari name however (such as ''Enter the Matrix'') do not have this logo (except for ''Ghost Vibration'', which had the regular Infogrames logo and no Atari logo outside the packaging).
* The still version appears on mostly Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance titles.
