Background: This is a subsidiary of Power Games created in 1995 to make games for kids.

1st Logo

(1995-1998, August 10, 2001, August 8, 2003)

Logo: On a cloudy sky, we see a rotating red planet sliding in. When it stops, things like toys, dolls, and game controllers come out of the planet. The planet fades out, and then the camera goes to the space, and when it stops, "Game World Inc." fades in.

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music/Sounds: A happy tune.

Availability. Seen on early video games by the company. Some games that have the logo are Dolls Come Alive and Where's Teddy? It also makes a surprise appearance on the 2001 PC game, My Pet House and the 2003 XBOX game, Kung Fu Hippos.

Scare Factor: None. This logo isn't scary, compared to the next logo...

Nickname(s): "Zooming Game World Text (of Doom)"

Logo: On a black background, we see the 3D gray text "GAME WORLD" stacked together in a childish font suddenly appearing. It zooms to the screen for 2 seconds, then fades out.

Variants: There are a lot of variants of the logo.

Some games have the text red, blue, yellow, green, or purple.

On hand-held console games, the logo is in 2D and it's still.

There's a variant of the logo where the text is in rainbow colors.

On pre-2000 games, the logo doesn't zoom to the screen.

At least one variant has been spotted where the logo is purple and has a blue border, and it appears on a sunny sky with a hill below.

Post-2001 games have the text smaller.

On Dolls Come Alive III, the background is purple and the text is green.

On I Spy: The Video Game, the logo is chroma key'd onto a shelf

On Kid Soccer, the logo is on a blue background and the words are on a hand-drawn font. Also, the "O" is replaced with a soccer ball and "PRESENTED BY" and "INCORPORATED" appears between the logo. This only apppears on the Game Boy Advance version, whilke the XBOX, PC and PS2 versions have the normal version of the logo with the soccer ball replacing the "O".

On Robotic World, the logo is made of steel. It also has a red border and it's seen inside a black figure on a white background. "Presents" is shown below the figure.

There's a variant where INC. was added below the text. This variant is seen on Read And Search! IV, Ronald McDonald's World and Dolls Come Alive III, the last games to have this logo.

On Ninja Attack!, the logo is grey and white and some of the logo is made with lines. Also, the logo is on a grey and white checkerboard.

On Ronald McDonald's World, the late version of the logo is used, but "inc." is lowercased and there are hamburgers between "GAME" and "WORLD". Also, the "W" is replaced by the 2003 McDonalds logo upside down with an hamburger above it, and the "O" is replaced with another hamburger.

FX/SFX: The logo zooming. On the hand-held and pre-2000 variant, none.

Music/Sounds: Some kids laughing along with a hitting sound, and when the logo fades out, we hear a kid saying "Game World!".

Music/Sounds Variants:

Some games have the logo silent. This also happens in the hand-held version.

Another games have the "Game World" saying deleted.

Availability: Uncommon. It was seen on games like Bob & Mark: Treasure Hunters and the Read And Search! series. Strangely, this was not seen in My Pet House and Kung Fu Hippos, both of which had the previous logo instead.

Scare Factor:

Medium for the normal variant, since the logo zooms in a black background and the kids laughing with the hitting sound may scare many kids. The darkness of the logo also adds it as well.

None to low for the silent variant. The dark animation still scares some kids.

None for the hand-held variant, because there's no zooming and sudden sounds on the logo.

3rd Logo

(2006-)

Logo: A blue box rolls in on a black background, and then it opens and happy computer-generated kids come out of the box and run away. The box then explodes, leaving smoke. The smoke clears out, so we can see a sunbeam background with a metallic floor and a huge cube made of wood with the words "GAME" and "WORLD" between it. The logo shines.

Variant: In 2012, a new version of the logo was introduced. The animation is remade, the box is metallic, the floor is gold, and it's set on 16:9 widescreen.

FX/SFX: The box rolling in, opening and exploding, the kids coming out out the box, the logo shining.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Current. Can be seen on new games by the company, starting with Bob & Mark: Scuba Divers, released for the PC and XBOX 360. The new version first appeared on Bob & Mark: Scuba Divers II.

Scare Factor: Minimal. The explosion can make kids jump, but this is not as very scary as the previous one.
