Background: Working Designs was an American video game publisher that specialized in the localization of Japanese role-playing video games, strategy video games and top-down shooters for various platforms. Their famous slogan was: "We're nothing without you!". Unfortunately, due to a series of delays, approval snags, and sagging sales, Working Designs announced on December 12, 2005 that all existing staff had been laid off and the company was effectively defunct. As a result, Working Designs became Gaijinworks. |

===Background=== |
|
|
'''X Media Publishing''' was a German publishing company that became infamous for distributing the unofficial ''That's Life!'' expansion packs for The Sims. These expansion packs were known to include stolen fan-made mods for the game and was also distributed on stores (and even on online shopping sites such as Amazon). The last release from the company was the second ''That's Life!'' expansion pack, which arrived with lots of bugs thanks to an additional 3D shop feature. |

'''Visuals:''' A cloudy storm background starts the logo with a "bad TV" effect overlaying the background. The glowing silvery-blue letter "{{color|blue|X}}" flashes in and zooms out, then fades out as the logo remains in the sky footage. The "{{color|blue|X}}" flashes back in,loses the glow, and fades out. A flash brings up the same X at the center and stabilizing the sky footage, with the letters "MEDIA" zoom out as the cause of these flashes, one-by-one. The words fade out, and then one flash comes out again and brings the text back. "MEDIA" begins to glow slowly and fading the screen to white. The logo cuts into a black background with the white text "ON YOUR SCREEN", with a TV warping effect throughout. |
