(1993-about 1998)

Logo: On a black backgorund, the letters E, A, and the word Sports fly in from center. There is a voiceover that says each of the letters/words as they appear, and then finishes with the slogan, "It's in the game".

FX: Only the words zooming in.

Variant: On NBA Live 95, the logo appeared in a flash of light.

Music/Sounds: A voice says, "EA Sports-It's in the game." Sometimes, it's silent.

Availablilty: Very common, because of a huge amount of EASN Titles released in the early 90's, and also newer games (such as NCAA March Madness 06) for PS2 that have a playable classic game option.

Scare Factor: None.

2nd logo

(1998-2008 or 09)



Logo: On a white background, the letters E, A (in red) and Sports (in blue) fly in, accompanied by a ring that surrounds the letters and spins slightly.

FX: The letters flying and the ring moving.

Music/Sounds: A different male voice says, "EA Sports-it's in the game."

Availability: Pretty common, seen on any EA Sports titles from 1998 through 2007 or 08.

Scare Factor: Low, the sudden voiceover may startle or annoy some.

3rd logo

(2008 or 09-)

Logo: A slightly updated EA Sports logo (ring and all) flies on to the screen with a "whoosh" as each object appears.

FX: A swoosh as each object flies in on the white background.

Music Sounds: The swoosh. No voice-over this time.

Availability: Common, found only on new new games (09's).

Scare Factor: Low, the swooshes may catch some off guard who have never seen it before.
