Logo: On a black background, a silver man, which is holding a rod, is seen on top of a red floor, lit by a spotlight. He drops the rod onto the floor to light it up and spreads his arms out, while the camera zooms out to reveal the floor was "NOVOTRADE" in a graffiti-like font. The spotlight then exposes the rest of the word and the man rises up, with the specter changing the background to white and adding "INTERNATIONAL" below.

Variants:
  • There is a still version on a black background, used onExo Squad.
  • OnKolibri for the Sega32X, the background was a gradient violet.

FX/SFX: The man rising, the light revealing the text, or none.

Music/Sounds: A harmoniousorchestral synth tune.

Availability: Rare. The animated version appeared on Ecco the Dolphin for PC. The still logo appeared on Kolibri and Exo Squad for Sega Genesis. Several other games have it in the corner only.
