Background
Parroty Interactive was a short-lived subsidiary of Palladium Interactive based in Larkspur, California that focused on parody games. Unfortunately for them, their games turned out to be poorly-received. The company was ultimately shut down on April 5, 1999 after Palladium was bought by The Learning Company.
Logo (October 9, 1996-January 5, 1998)
Visuals: Over a white background is the purple circles from the normal Palladium logo, but in the red figure's place is a red parrot wearing Groucho Marx glasses and a cigar in its left hand. "PARROTY INTERACTIVE", in the same stacked style as its parent logo, is seen below.
Variant: On Star Warped, the logo dissolves into the Luminare Multimedia logo.
Technique: A still, digital graphic.
Audio: A distorted whimsical tune ending with a squawk and a cough. Composed at Chronic Music.
Audio Variant: On Pyst, the parrot says "Parroty. Parroty Interactive." Then, the parrot squawks and coughs.
Availability: Seen on all of the company's games: Pyst, Star Warped, The X-Fools and Microshaft Winblows 98.
