Neko Entertainment

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Logo (July 8, 2003-2013)

Visuals: On a black background, a white cat with black ears, eyes, and whiskers, jumps side to side with a red ball bouncing on him. After the cat comes closer to the camera, the text "nEKO entertainment" bumps the cat, making the cat's expression look a little shocked. The red ball falls onto "E" and rebounds into "O".

Variants:

  • There is a more common still version.
  • On later games, Crazy Frog Alex and Crazy Frog Alex 2, the logo is on a white background, the cat is CGI, and static occurs and makes the whole logo flat and outlined.

Technique: 2D digital animation or CGI.

Audio: Various pop sounds when the cat is jumping and the ball is bouncing, a "whoosh" when the text slides in, and another pop when the ball falls into "O". In a variant, a clang and chime can be heard when the ball bounces onto text, and an electronic whoosh and dreamy synth note when the logo turns flat.

Availability: Seen on the Charlie's Angels videogame, Franklin: A Birthday Surprise, Franklin's Great Adventures, Crazy Frog Racer, Crazy Frog Racer 2, Cocoto Platform Jumper, Cocoto Kart Racer, and other releases from the company. The still version mainly appears on DS games.
