Goldstar LG Electronics
(1995)

Logo : A starry background fades in, and a blue arc of light wipes in as the red GoldStar logo slowly zooms in at the top of the screen. The LG Electronics logo fades in below, and a white spot glows in near the middle of the arc, covering the whole screen for a second while the 3DO shapes logo flips in at the left of the Goldstar/LG logos. The arc then disappears and leaves the rest of the elements.

1st Logo
(1995-1996)

Logo : On a black background, a white dust zooms out from the center of the screen, revealing that appears to be the grey relief words "LG Software" in a Helvetica font. A red dust then zooms out from the screen, and it reveals that appears to be the corporate LG logo of the era. The logo then shines many times.

FX/SFX : CGI, rendered in FMV.

Music/Sounds : A lively synthesized fanfare.

Availability : Very rare. Spotted on later 3DO releases from the mid-90s.

2nd Logo
(1996)

Logo : On a black starry background, we see a red circle, a white line then forms followed with sparks from the top to the bottom in the circle and then it then the forming line turns right a little to form a L. Then another line forms across the red circle and stops in a quarter away from crossing the entire circle to turn left a little to form a G. Then a little dot in the left top corner inside the G forms. After the logo is completely formed like a face, it zooms in to the screen which the L covers the entire screen all in white until zooming back out with the red circle now in a middle top position, and after the face is zoomed back inside the red circle. A white blurry circle then appears behind the logo and zooms in covering the entire background expect for the logo. Then grey text slides with the text "LG" on the left side of the text and the right side of it being all Korean.

Trivia : The animation was clearly based off the LG Group's animated logo concept of the time.

FX/SFX : The starfield, the logo drawing in, the zooming, the background turning white, and the text sliding in.

Music/Sounds : A short MIDI-sounding synth/string ditty with drums.

Availability : Seen on the last 3DO games released in South Korea, such as Battle Blues.
