The figure had its hands up in the air, as if a sun was rising from behind him. The long-lived LucasArts logo, affectionately known as the "Gold Guy", was introduced in 1991 and consisted of a crude gold-colored figure resembling a petroglyph, standing on a purple letter "L" inscribed with the company name.
LUCASARTS WESTERN GAME MOVIE
The original Lucasfilm Games logo was based upon the existing Lucasfilm movie logo.
The "Gold Guy" LucasArts logo (1991–2005) and LucasArts became the official name of the former Games Division. Later ILM and Skywalker Sound were consolidated in Lucas Digital Ltd. In 1990, in a reorganization of the Lucas companies, the Games Division of Lucasfilm became part of the newly created LucasArts Entertainment Company, together with Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound. Maniac Mansion was one of the first games to be published and developed by Lucasfilm Games.
Atari published their games for Atari systems, Activision and Epyx would do their computer publishing. Their first games were only developed by Lucasfilm, and a publisher would distribute the games. Lucasfilm's next two games were Koronis Rift and The Eidolon. Versions for home computers were not released until 1985, by publisher Epyx. In 1984, they were released for the Atari 5200 under the Lucasfilm Games label. Beta versions of both games were leaked to pirate bulletin boards exactly one week after Atari received unprotected copies for a marketing review, and were in wide circulation months before the original release date. The first results of this collaboration were unique action games like Ballblazer and Rescue on Fractalus!. Lucas had wanted his company to branch out into other areas of entertainment, and so he cooperated with Atari to produce video games. The company was founded in May 1982 as the video game development group of Lucasfilm Ltd., the film production company of George Lucas.
