Background

Sierra Attractions was formed in February 1998 by Sierra On-Line as part of a company restructuring, and functioned as Sierra On-Line's casual publishing strand, developing and publishing games such as pinball and poker. Sierra development studio Berkeley Systems was composed as part of the label.

In 2001, it was retired upon a reorganization within Sierra On-Line, with all future titles being branded solely under the "Sierra" brand.

(1998-2000)

Logo: On a black background, strange streaks zoom in and rotate before revealing the 1998 Sierra logo, which is "SIERRA" in a strange font with a golden "wing" on the "S" made from spikes. Below it is "attractions" and a yellow triangle, all lit up by RGB lights. The triangle shines.

Variants:

On 3D Ultra NASCAR Pinball, the logo is seen in white on a red stripe surrounded by checkerboards. A racing car with images of the blue furball from the Dynamix logo then swerves into place below, with a crowd cheering in the background. The blue furball then emerges from the window and says "Phew, Sierra!".
On The Return of the Incredible Machine, after the logo finishes, the Dynamix furball appears on a bucket tied to string and once again says "Phew, Sierra!". The "attractions" wordmark is removed on the game's expansion, Even More Contraptions.
The logo may sometimes just shine.

Technique: 3D CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A short synth theme. The variants use the end of the fanfare from the previous logo, as well as the sounds of the car and/or the monster.

Availability: Can be found on pinball, poker and other sports games by Sierra, such as the aforementioned games above.
