Logo: There is a warrior's head composed of four colored lines and the underlined name which reads ARGONAUT. Below the "SOFTWARE LTD" line can be seen, or "GAMES PLC".

Variants: There are a lot of variants:
  • On the PS1 and PC versions of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, three Gobbos inflate the logo-bearing balloon until it blows. The Sega Saturn version of this has the still logo.
  • On Croc 2, the logo is pictured on a floating bottle.
  • On I-Ninja, the rubber-made logo is severed by a sword.
  • On SWAT, it appears on a metal door blasted by police squad.
  • On Malice, the letters rotate and zoom in.
  • On Power Drome, it is white. And a red marker with "SHEFFIELD" blasts in.

FX/SFX: Depending on the variant, usually decent CGI.

Music/Sounds:
Depending on the variant.

Availability: Rather common on their games. But not seen on Catwoman and Harry Potter series.
