'''Variants:'''
*On most games and trailers starting in 2014, it is still.
*On some games, it is used on the main menu like the 2nd logo.
*On ''Peggle 2'', the logo plays similarly to the regular variant, except the white background does not fade into red, but instead the second "P" takes up the entirety of the screen until it zooms out. When the logo bounces, it then displays rainbow colors while Bjorn (from the game) rises upwards with a smug expression and pokes the logo with his horn, causing the logo to explode into multi-colored pegs (also from the game).
'''Technique:''' 2D animation.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A 6-note synth xylophone theme with two bangs when the text bounces.
'''Music/Sound Variant:''' For the ''Peggle 2'' variant, a choir sings the 6-note theme then sings "PopCap!" when the logo bounces, then sings "Peggle!" accompanied by a harp when the logo changes colors. The bangs are retained for this variant.
