1st Logo (June 21, 2004-2006)

Visuals: On a space background, light flashes to reveal moving pixels over something. The light then flashes, revealing the object is the text "XPEC", with the text "Entertainment Inc." below it, on a purple background.

Variants:

Sometimes, the logo is still.
Sometimes, the background is black.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synth jingle.

Availability: Appeared on games of the time period.^[Examples?]

2nd Logo (August 11, 2006-April 10, 2012)

Visuals: 6 yellow streaks of light appear and swirl around the near-left of the screen, with two of them briefly making an X shape, until all streaks make a second X shape with one streak missing. A flash of light forms the white letters "xpec" in a futuristic font, with the trademark symbol next to the top part of the "c", causing the light streaks to disappear. Afterwards, a white streak of light flies from the left, forming the slogan "HAVE FUN TOGETHER! .............." below. Everything takes place inside a red rectangle against a black background.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: The 2nd Sanctuary Woods Multimedia jingle.

Audio Variant: On the trailer to YES 520 Online, it has "Gliss Arpeggios 02" from Apple's iMovie.

Availability: Seen on the PS2 port of Kung Fu Panda, Spectral Force 3: Innocent Rage, and Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (the last game to use this logo), among others.

3rd Logo (September 13-October 13, 2006)

Visuals: Over a white background, various symbols appear. Next to them, there is the text "xpec" in the same font as the previous logo with the text "ENTERTAINMENT" in spaced-out letters.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: The opening theme of the game.

Availability: Seen on Bounty Hounds for PSP.

4th Logo (August 18, 2010-April 9, 2012)

Visuals: On a red background with hexagons, a light streak forms a 3D version of the XPEC logo in black that flips, and then the light forms the slogan from the 2nd logo. The logo then moves while more hexagons appear.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The opening theme of the video.

Availability: Unknown.^[Examples?]

5th Logo (September 17, 2012-November 10, 2014)

Visuals: On a black background, a light forms, and then the background turns red and the XPEC logo from before moves on, until the logo turns 2D on a black BG.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Whooshes and sparkling sounds.

Availability: Appears on Do Not Fall and trailers for new games.

6th Logo (November 10, 2014)

Visuals: On a red background, the "xpec" letters in a Chinese-like font wipe in, and then the background turns black with the normal XPEC logo.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: Whooshing sounds, followed by the theme of the trailer.

Availability: Only seen on the trailer for Monkey Warrior.

7th Logo (October 7, 2016-May 17, 2018)

Visuals: On a red sunburst background, the "x" from the XPEC logo in 3D zooms out and rotates. Then the logo flashes to reveal the XPEC logo, and the text "XPEC Entertainment Inc.", with two lines above and below, appears underneath the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Distorted scratchy noises, followed by a bang with robotic noises.
