The History of Electronic Arts

Electronic Arts, also known as EA, is an entertainment software and video game development company. This company was founded by Trip Hawkins in 1982 and produced many noteworthy games such as The Sims, Need for Speed and Mass Effect.

The shape of the EA logo changed drastically throughout the years. Electronic Arts decided on Designer Barry Deutsch to make the first logo for the company. The logo inspired by EA Sports, another brand within the EA company. The first logo was composed of an overlapping square, circle and triangle meant to exhibit an abstract view of the companies’ name, Electronic Arts.                              

Electronics Arts latest Logo is their present design, created by the companies first designer, Barry Deutsch. The design consisted of a circle with the fill in black while the negative space in the logo has the lettering of “EA” inside of it. This is the logo that was made from 2006 to the present day. Another variation of this logo is for the circle to have no fill, a black outline instead with the letters “EA” in black.
