Background

The core of Mass Media was formed as Philips P.O.V. Entertainment Group in 1991, but left in 1995 to Time Warner. When the latter was shut down, Mass Media became independent until February 2007, when it was acquired by THQ. It was shut down in 2008, though it was started back up just as soon and now work with other companies as a "ninja developer", and also work on

(Late 1990s-2008)

Logo: On a black background, the camera fades in and moves back from a purple elephant moving its head, balancing barely on a tube TV set. One of its feet slip off the TV before repositioning itself, and then blows its trunk, which causes the TV to turn on to static. Several scanners then wipe in the text "mass - media" in a pink generic font with a dot in the middle. The entire then then glows white, freezing the logo and turning the text into 3D silver text with the dot turning purple.

Variant: A still version exists. The letters there are much darker and smaller. A black and white version appears on The Simpsons: Skateboarding.

FX/SFX: The elephant moving, the TV noise and rays creating the logo.

Music/Sounds: Some crickets and other jungle sounds, the elephant blowing its trunk, and several static sounds with a whoosh.

Availability: Can be found on games like Pac-Man Fever and Muppets Party Cruise, among others. The still version appears on Namco Museum for the Game Boy Advance and N64.

Editor's Note: None.
