Background

Neo Software Produktions was an Austrian development studio. It was acquired by Take-Two Interactive Software in 2001, while working on a Max Payne port. This game was the last one to have the old logo. In 2003, Neo Software was renamed Rockstar Vienna, but closed abruptly during the development of Manhunt 2 in 2006.

1st Logo (1993, 2001)

Logo: A simple yellow and black banner is seen, with "neo" inside.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Originally used on the Amiga version of Whale's Voyage. Strangely, the black BG version appeared on a Max Payne port for Xbox, this being the logo's last appearance before the studio was renamed.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1993-1996)

Logo: The yellow-black "neo" shield is seen, crossed with light stripes.

Variant: In 1995, the logo was redone with more accurate 3D effects.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on a lot of games published and developed by Neo Software.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1998-2001)

Logo: We see the shield from before redone in 3D, lit from below and with a byline reading "...online with the future...".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appeared on Alien Nations and The Sting! (also known as Der Clou 2 in Europe).

Editor's Note: None.
