1st Logo (1993-1995)

• 

Nickname: "The Special Rainbow Armadillo"

Logo: Against a white background, we see an armadillo drawing, starting with its tail, then body, then head and finally the legs. As it's done animating, rainbow-colored stripes appear over the armadillo as large brush strokes, and the words "INFOGRAMES" with "MULTIMEDIA" in a black box below, appear under the picture.

Variant:

• On MS-DOS games, the logo is more rough, and the words simply appear rather than fading in.
• On Marco Polo, the logo is still.

FX/SFX: The armadillo drawing, the stripes appearing, the words fading in.

Music/Sounds: A monotonous background tune with a siren-like sound, crystallized notes when the lines appear, and a hard fading out drop.

Availability: Extremely rare, as this only appeared on Infogrames' CD-I titles and some MS-DOS ports of their CD-I games. Games featuring this logo are Les Schtroumpfs: Le Téléportaschtroumpf, Marco Polo, Kether, Solar Crusade, Asterix: Caesar's Challenge, International Tennis Open and Chaos Control.

2nd Logo (1996)

• 

Nickname: "The Common Armadillo"

Logo: Same as the usual Infogrames logo of the era, but the text "MULTIMEDIA" is seen below in a black box.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the game.

Availability: Seen on Time Gate: Knight's Chase.
