2nd Logo (1997-2000)

Logo: On a black background, a red light appears and slides across the screen, causing the text "SIMIS" in silver lettering, to fold out one-by-one with a brief red glow. The logo then shines brightly as a spotlight scans the screen from left to right before dying down.
Variants:
- On Terracide, the first game to use this, a prototype is used. The background is filled with green smoke, the spark is green and moves slower, and when the logo finishes, it flashes and brings forth a teal box with dark blue afterimages of the text on it.
- On the Terracide demo, a still version of the logo is used.
FX/SFX: The spark moves and reveals the letters.
Music/Sounds: A pair of synth drones that are held-out.
Availability: Seen on Terracide, Team Apache and Xenocracy.
