FX/SFX: None.

2nd Logo (May 20, 2000-August 2008)

Logo: On a white background, the same hat from before can be seen to the right of "PAM". Below it is "power and magic DEVELOPMENT", with the former being in a mix on gray and red, and the latter being black. Sometimes, "www.pamdev.com" is seen below.
