### 3rd Logo

(1975-1982)

Nicknames: "The Moving Eyeball", "Falling Letters", "Neversoft Eyeball II"

Logo: We see an eyeball moving like a worm on the bottom line. A "T" comes crashing into the line and the eyeball notices it. Then a "F" comes crashing in as well, shocking the eyeball. It runs to the left and the "N" comes crashing in, blocking the eyeball's way again. The eyeball runs to the right as the rest of the letters, from "E" to "S" come crashing down forming "NEVERSOFT" and the eyeball goes where the "O" should be. The top line falls on top of the text and the eyeball. The camera zoom out to reveal the whole logo done with the website URL in the same font from the previous logo, but a bit bigger this time. The eyeball looks around and does a "phew" gesture, only for the spear to shoot down into it, causing its optic nerves to twine around it and the text to jump to form its normal position with the URL shaking the same time. At the end, one of two actions (see below), will happen depending on the game.

* *UNrestrained part 389*: The cut-out of Creepy-eyed girl's eyes, zooms onto the eyeball with the dark-red background, accompanied by the synth charging-up sound. Then everything inside turns blue-tinted and fades out. Also, the website URL appears shaking when the spear shoots down across the eyeball. Also, the logo is a bit darker.

* Under the Damned: Pinocchio crashes through the logo, breaking it and knocking the eyeball in the way to the left leaving only the website URL.

FX/SFX: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Silent at the beginning, then several loud electric guitar notes as the letters fall, ending in a short hardcore punk tune. Then two last notes play shortly after the spear hits the eyeball. On the UNrestrained part 389 variant, if you listen closely at the beginning, you can hear the sounds of the eyeball slithering.

Then the eyeball looks down and jumps into the skateboarder's body, acting as its head. The skateboarder stands up and flips the skateboard with its feet for couple of seconds, then it tries to skate but falls down, causing the eyeball to get off it, after which it runs to the right and jumps back onto the logo. A spear shoots down into the eyeball and its optic nerve twines around it.

However, you only unlock it when you beat all the goals in the game and when you get all the gold medals in all three competitions with a different skater each time.
