Eurocom Entertainment Software

Eurocom did not use a proper logo until 1991. Eurocom went out of business on December 6, 2012 due to poor sales of their recent games like 007 Legends.1st Logo(1991-1992) Logo: On a black background is the word "EUROCOM" in the Eurostile Bold font with a purple outline and below that is "ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE" in white and in the Stylistic SF font.
