Nickname: "The Square/Circle/Triangle Shape Combination Transformation"
Logo: On a black background, a blue version of the EA logo shown above fades in. Then the shapes turn 3D, turn down, and the square and circle shapes separate from the triangle and the triangle starts spinning while the square leaves and the circle starts flying around. The lightning flashes appear in between the triangle and the circle while they go faster until the triangle explodes. Then the triangle reappears in 2D deformed style while the Circle returns and the lighting makes the three curved blue lines forming the "E" appear through lightning. Then the Square comes in from the right rotating flying through into the left making ELECTRONIC ARTS STUDIOSappear through the wipe effect below the logo with a line in between and "STUDIOS" spaced below to fit the width of "ELECTRONIC ARTS".
Background: Electronic Arts Studios was a short-lived publishing label of Electronic Arts, and was the predecessor to the EA Games brand.

Variant: The obscure Windows title Scarab has a version that just reads "ELECTRONIC ARTS".
FX/SFX: The animation of the logo.
Music/Sounds: A synth build up while the shapes are spinning and a lightning-like sound for the text appearing.
Availability: Seen on very early PlayStation and Sega Saturn games released by Electronic Arts, and some MS-DOS, Windows and 3DO titles. Games that have this logo are Fade to Black, Psychic Detective, the PS1/Saturn/Windows port of Road Rash, Shockwave Assault, the 3DO-exclusive Shockwave 2 and the PlayStation version of Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger. the original release of the MS-DOS version of Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed has this logo on the entire packaging, but the Electronic Arts Canada logo actually appears in-game. The version without the STUDIOS wording appears on Scarab for Windows.
