Warning about GT Interactive Software:This page contains a logo which some people might find disturbing, offensive or both. Viewer discretion is advised.
1st logo: We see the rainbow-colored connected GT letters being drawn by a light spark. Another spark finishes the horizontal line serving both letters. The name reads "GT Interactive Software" in italics, placed in various parts of the picture.
Variants[]
On Mortal Kombat 3 for DOS, the logo has a white background. The name is in small black letters and has "Presents" below. It is still.
On Mortal Kombat Trilogy, the name is in two lines.
On Ice & Fire, the name is underlined and has "DISTRIBUTED BY" above.
On Duke Nukem for Game Boy Color, the name isn't in italics.
On Bedlam, the logo has expressive colors and the name is red and underlined.
On Bedlam 2, the same version gained the copyright info below.
On Imperium Galactica, the color gamma is changed to mellow tones, the name in straight font and it has "Presents" below.
On T-Mek, the background is white with the shadow.
2nd logo: The GT logo appears in 3D view with silver borders, slightly turned in perspective. The name appears in bold italics on the right side, written in two lines.
Variants[]
There is a variant without the (R) symbol. This can be spotted on Duke Nukem: Time To Kill.
The most common animated variant starts with the blue background moving from the left to the right. Then a quick flash occurs and shows the GT logo with the (R) symbol above, but without any name.
One static variant had the interlaced blue/black background. The logo hangs over it, surrounded with light aura, the name is in red. Seen on Courier Crisis, Hexen for PlayStation and Death Rally.
On 40 Winks, the logo has a nice brown color and looks like liquid metal.
On Dead Ball Zone, the silver logo had a smoking ball next to it. Then it is zapped by lightning and starts glowing light blue.
On Discworld Noir, the yellow light was falling from the open door and the yellow GT stood in the flood of light, casting shadow.
The Blood games feature a GT logo literally made up of blood, which is different for both versions, but both are the same concept. The 1st game has a less realistic look to it, with it waving more than throbbing and blood dripping down, before exploding into dust, while the 2nd game has the blood dripping off-screen and more realistic throbbing, and the entire logo splatters across the screen, leaving a mess in the background.
On Oddworld games, the logo rippled on a concentric stony pattern.
On Streak Hoverboard Racing, the "DISTRIBUTED BY" words were added to the usual logo.
On Ka-52 Team Alligator, the logo was glowing cyan-colored, superimposed over the intro movie.
On Imperium Galactica II, the logo appeared over a planet, the name made from stone.
On War of the Worlds, the glowing logo appeared over Mars.
On Beavis & Butt-Head Do U, the white word "presents" fades across the logo and makes it disappear.
On Nintendo 64 version of Hexen, the logo is seen on the bottom right with the game's title logo on the top-left.
Sometimes the background was white. This happened on Anno 1602 and Everest. The latter was one of the last games by GT and had this logo in HD.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo: The synth tune.
2nd logo: Depending on the logo.
Music/Sounds Variants[]
For the flash version, there was a simple progressive synth tune accompanied by the radio chatter-like sound.
The original Blood featured a heartbeat sound with a creepy choral theme playing along. Then a loud explosion sound plays.
Blood II: The Chosen had a dramatic string theme that fits with the sound of the heartbeat. The rest of the sounds behave like before.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo: Minimal. It's generally harmless, although the synth tune might surprise some.
2nd logo: Depends.
Most variants: None to low.
Flash variant: Low. Considering that a lot of the variants are silent, the music might surprise someone, followed by the radio sounds. Of course, this is absolutely nothing compared to the other 2 variants...
Blood variant: Medium to nightmare. The black background is one thing, but the added blood, scary music and sound effects and logo exploding at the end will definitely scare many.
Blood 2 variant: High to nightmare, as the blood exploding all over the place only makes the logo scarier.
