1st logo
(1993-1995)

Nickname: "Jaguar in Cube"

Logo: On a black background, we see the word "Jaguar", in a grungy red font, zoom in. The words "ATARI", in a silver 3D font, tumble to the bottom of the screen below the Jaguar logo, coming from all directions. When they stop, a small registered trademark symbol (r) appears next to "Atari", then "Jaguar" slides up, and a cube with images of a jaguar inside it zooms in, spinning around. Finally, the entire logo zooms out.

SFX: The "Jaguar" text zooming in, the Atari logo tumbling down, plus the jaguar cube zooming and spinning.

Cheesy Factor: The spinning jaguar cube is very early 90s.

Music: A "roar" as the "Jaguar" text zooms in, then, when the Atari logo appears, a downward high-pitched Moog synth scale (not like in the 1971 PBS logo), followed by an 8-note synth tune (Atari's advertising jingle used in the 80's ["Have you played Atari today?"]), ending with an orchestral hit, is heard.

Availability: Appears when you turn an Atari Jaguar (minus CD unit) on.

Scare Factor: Medium, thanks to the dark environment and the Atari music coming out of nowhere after the jaguar's roar.

2nd logo
(1993-1995)

Nickname: "The Rainbow Flares"

Logo: On a black background, we see the Jaguar logo from the first logo with rainbow flares shooting out, similar to the logo for Swedish HV company Video Invest.

SFX: The rainbow flares, but other than that, it's a still logo.

Music: None.

Availability: Appears when you turn an Atari Jaguar with the CD unit on.

Scare Factor: Low.
