Background[]

Big Ape Productions was an American video game development studio whose work primarily consisted of licensed games such as The Simpsons Wrestling for PS1 & MTV Celebrity Deathmatch for PS2. Their first game was Herc's Adventures, released in 1997, but they didn't use a logo until 1999.

Logos[]

1st logo (May 18, 1999-March 23, 2001)[]

Big Ape

A close-up of a gorilla is seen, showing from the eyes to the nose. After a moment, the light blue stacked words "BIG APE" and "PRODUCTIONS, INC." appears on the lower-left corner.

2nd logo (October 14, 2003)[]

Big Ape Productions 2003

It starts off with a gorilla opening its eye, shown as grainy film footage. The camera eases back to reveal the gorilla is climbing up The Empire State Building in New York. The city has searchlights scrolling. Two 1930s-style airplanes fly by its head and the gorilla swats at them. As it continues climbing the building, the planes fly by again and the grain goes away. The camera then goes past a sign which says “BIG APE PRODUCTIONS INC.”, just like the previous logo, in blue. The gorilla then goes to the top of the building, roars and thumps its chest.


Music/Sounds[]

[]

A very loud growl of a gorilla, followed by grunting.

[]

A dramatic orchestrated fanfare with sounds of the gorilla and the planes.

Scare Factor[]

1st logo[]

High to nightmare. The fact that it just cuts to the logo, the close-up of the gorilla and that sudden and very loud growl can cause some hearts to jump out of peoples' chests. Low to medium to those who are used to it, and who expected it.

2nd logo[]

Low to medium, a huge improvement over the first logo, plus if you're a fan of the King Kong series, you might like this logo.
