Background: Lego Interactive (Formally called Lego Media and Lego Software) was a video game division of The Lego Group founded in 1997 after the success of Mindscape's Lego Island. The company published games on their own until 2001, when the company teamed up to co-publish games with Electronic Arts. After the release of Bionicle: The Game in 2003, Lego closed down Lego Interactive. Lego games today are published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

Variants:
Music/Sounds: Same as before, but with a heavy boulder-y "thud" sound (a stock explosion sound effect) when the M brick appears. On the Nintendo 64 version of Lego Racers a twinkling sound and droning bassy pad note play and when the M brick appears a loud gunshot is heard.

Logo: Same as the previous logo, but this time uses the 1998 Lego, and when the logo is complete, it moves to the top left corner, and Media (in white) with a yellow M shaped brick below it, zooms in.
Variants:
- On some games like Lego Racers and Lego Rock Raiders, the Media part zooms in much faster and bounces back.

- On the PC version of Lego Rock Raiders, the previous variant is used, but after the logo finishes copyright information fades below saying "® LEGO, the LEGO logo and the LEGO brick are registered trademarks of the LEGO group. © 1999 The LEGO Group". On the PlayStation version of the same game, the copyright remains for the entire animation of the logo, and is in a different font.
- The Nintendo 64 version of Lego Racers removes the Lego bricks falling and ends with the same copyright information as the Lego Rock Raiders variant and in the same font.
- On Lego Alpha Team, the first variant plays, and when it ends different copyright saying "© 2000 The LEGO Group. ® LEGO is a registered trademark belonging to the LEGO Group." suddenly appears.
- On Lego Stunt Rally, the normal version plays and then cuts to a still version with the same 2000 copyright as before.
- On GBC games, the logo is still. the GBC version of Lego Stunt Rally has the same copyright information as the other 2000's Lego games as well as the Licensed by Nintendo text on the top of the copyright.
Music/Sounds: Same as before, but with a heavy boulder-y "thud" sound (a stock explosion sound effect) when the M brick appears. On the Nintendo 64 version of Lego Racers a twinkling sound and droning bassy pad note play and when the M brick appears a loud gunshot is heard.

3rd Logo
(October 4, 2000-2001)
Nicknames: "Software Wobble", "The Minifigure Head", "Falling Lego Bricks III", "The Lego Logo III", "Brick Rain III"
Logo: Same as the previous logo, but the animation is much smoother and the Lego trademark on the bricks is removed. When the logo is complete, it moves to the left, and "SOFT WARE" (in pale blue, stacked on top of each other) runs into the Lego logo, and wobbles for a bit. Then a scanner-like line goes through "SOFT WARE", gaining the white glow, and then a LEGO minifigure head surrounded bymulticoloredelectrons, appears through the O, and winks his eye. The copyright details fade in below after that.
Variants:
Music/Sounds: Same as before, but with a magical poof sound when "SOFT WARE" bumps into the Lego logo, a futuristic scanner sound when the line comes through, and a twinkle when the minifigure head winks.
Availability: First appeared on Lego Creator: Knights Kingdom, and later appeared on Lego Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge, Lego Racers 2, Lego Bionicle, 2001 Lego Software Demo Discs and Lego Creator: Harry Potter.
