Background

Motown Software (also referred to as Motown Games) was a short-lived video game division of Motown Records. Their emphasis was on releasing African-American games, but only two games, Bébé's Kids and Rap Jam: Volume One, were released and both received negative reception.

1st Logo (April 1994)

Logo: On a black background, the Motown Software appears in a pixelated fade-in. The logo has a white square with the blue stylized Motown "M" with "MOTOWN" below, also in blue. A registered trademark symbol (®) is near the company name. Beneath the square is "SOFTWARE" in white. After a moment, it fades out (also pixelated).

FX/SFX: None really, unless you count the pixelated fading in and out.
