Endgame Entertainment

Background : Endgame Entertainment is a Los-Angeles based company formed in 2002.

1st Logo (2003-2006)
Nickname : "Chess Field"

Logo : In isometric projection, a door opens and light emits out of it. A man wearing a hat walks out of the door, makes five steps and stands still, putting his arms into a body sides. The place where he stands transforms into a square plate, then an outline writes the chessboard (which looks similar to the Purina pet food company logo) and other plates cover it. The word "ENDGAME" slides by an outline from the back and stops in the front. The whole picture pans from right isometric view to left. The man gets outlined by a white border.

Variant : TV shows with this logo use a still version of this logo with a gray background.

FX/SFX : The door opening, the man walking, the chessboard forming, and the outlines.

Cheesy Factor: The animation is a bit choppy, and the man looks like a ragdoll, although this is not completely awful. The still variant looks like a PNG file of the logo was placed upon a gray background created in MS Paint.

Music/Sounds : The opening/closing theme of the movie or TV show.

Availability:  Rare. The animated version is found on The Alibi and Stay Alive. The still version can be found on Bigfoot Presents: Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks and an unknown show on the now-defunct Family Room HD.

2nd Logo (2006-)
Nicknames : "The Man Walking", "The Chess Figure Shadow"

Logo : Lights flash and blink. After the light goes off we see a man walking by a road with mountains in background. The screen pans so we can see a man walking out from our eyes. Then the picture is quickly chopped to the rectangular frame where the image of walking man stops still. Under the frame, some words appear "ENDGAMƎ", in a big font with the last "E" capital and reversed. Under it is the word "ENTERTAINMENT" is seen in a much more less font. The man's shadow in the picture looks like a chess figure.

FX/SFX:  The lights, the man walking, the rest TBA.

Cheesy Factor : The shadow of the chess piece is rather unrealistic.

Music/Sounds : 5 descending chimes and a short orchestral note, coupled with light footstep sounds.

Availability:  Currently seen on Endgame's newer productions.
