Vatical Entertainment

Logo (1999-November 30, 2001)

Visuals: On a black or white background, a brushstroke red "V" can be seen above the text "VATICAL ENTERTAINMENT", all stacked up. The "V" and "L" are bigger then the rest of the letters, and "ENTERTAINMENT" is in a more generic font.

Variants:

Earlier Game Boy Color games, including the Game Boy Color port of Vigilante 8 (the first game to have this logo), the logo appears to have some dimension to it. "PRESENTS" is also seen below.
Some later Game Boy Color games from the company have the logo on a white background with ''Published by'' above and ''LICENSED BY NINTENDO'' below, including Top Gear Pocket 2 and Déjà Vu I & II: The Casebooks of Ace Harding.
An early animated variant appears on the PlayStation port of Tiny Toon Adventures: Toonenstein - Dare to Scare!, where the "V" is wiped in on a white background. The "V" zooms out to the upper part of the screen, where the name in black appears below a few seconds later. It also appeared on the PlayStation port of Polaris SnoCross, but on a black background, no zoom out, and with "presents" below, before fading to the Vicarious Visions logo at the time. The latter variant was still on the Nintendo 64 version.
On Iron Soldier 3, a lens flare draws in the "V" like the other animated logo, though the other way around, as the "VATICAL" name rotates in and "ENTERTAINMENT" zooms in.
On Sea Doo HydroCross, a wave of thunderclouds come in and lightning strikes into existence the "V". The name blurs in, and the storm fades out.

Technique: A still digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Audio Variants:

The early animated variant has a ethereal synth note with a whoosh for the "V", and a low-toned piano tune for the name appearing.
Polaris SnoCross used a synth drone with 2 whooshes for the wiping.
Iron Soldier 3 used a echoing clang with a twinkle at the end.
Sea Doo HydroCross had simple roaring thunder.

Availability: The still version can be seen on all their Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color titles, while the animated variants appeared on the games mentioned in the variants.
