(1990-1999)
380px|The logo used by EFS throughout their existence. Nicknames: Filbert's Warfare.
Logo: We see Filburt eating a red cat. While he is going this, a flash of white lightning is seen. Then we cut to a shocked Ren Hoek. Then we return to Filburt only to find him getting and going after Ren. The lightning flashes once again. Then Ren shoots at Filburt who suffers two wounds. Then Ren uses a rocket launcher to blow Filburt up. When Filburt blows up, his body parts fly everywhere to reveal the words:
EXPLODING
F I L B E R T
SOFTWARE

stacked upon each other.
Music: Throughout the entire logo, "Liberi Fatali" plays. When the lightning flashes each time, a thunderclap is heard. When Ren shoots Filburt, gunshots and splats are heard, leading to the point where Filbert is blown up, when a massive and deafening explosion plays.
FX: Filburt eating the cat and looking crazed, Ren looking shocked, Ren shooting Filburt, the disgusting body part explosion at the end. The EFS logo.
Cheesy Factor: The animation looks bad.
Availability: Extinct. When EFS was acquired by Microsoft in 1999, it folded and this logo was replaced with the Microsoft one. So if you have this logo, you're damn lucky.
Scare Factor: High to NIGHTMARE. It is going to give many people the creeps, considering its violent nature. The bad animation, loud music, and generally bizarre and very, very weird subject matter may very well make this one of the scariest recent logos. It's not the "V of Doom", but it WILL definitely scare a lot of people. Thank god it is gone forever now.
Final Note: EFS folded into Microsoft in 1999. The <a class="external" href="http://www.efs.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.efs.com</a> website now redirects to Microsoft's as a result.
