The text "P R E S E N T S" appears under the logo in a serif font, and the copyright notices "©Simutrek, Inc. 1983" and "℗Simutrek, Inc. 1983" appear at the bottom. The copyright notices fade out, followed by the logo and "P R E S E N T S" text. Throughout the logo, the text "CUBE BUTTON FOR INSTRUCTIONS" and "CREDIT 0" with the "0" in yellow are at the top and bottom respectively.

-'''Editor's Note''': The eerie music combined with the dark atmosphere and low quality make for quite an unsettling logo, but it fits well with the unsettling atmosphere of Cube Quest. To make matters worse, Simutrek only released one arcade game, the aforementioned Cube Quest, before fading into obscurity.
