The logo was slightly modified in 2000, removing the legs of the armadillo and a shadow was added under it. The "Infogrames" wordmark is now placed on the middle and the rainbow was completely ditched from the logo. It was used on games until 2003, when all of Infogrames' subsidiaries and divisions were rebranded as "Atari". The company itself was still called Infogrames Entertainment, SA. until 2009, when it also changed its name to an Atari branded name, that being Atari, SA.

In October 2008, Infogrames purchased the minority shareholders of Atari, Inc., meaning they owned 100% of all the US owned Atari businesses. Due to this, the shareholders of Infogrames and the US Atari companies all agreed to rename Infogrames Entertainment SA to Atari, SA in May 2009, taking advantage of the ownership of the Atari brand name.
