 * First appeared on the music clip versions of with Nana Mizuki's Orchestral Fantasia, and recently appeared on Red Breeze, made by Nana herself.
 * A scope version has appeared on the music video version of some songs, firstly Astrogation. Also appeared, such as Inori Minase's Catch the Rainbow!
 * This logo is omitted on music video versions of Nana Mizuki's Crystal Letter, COSMIC LOVE, Pray and SUPER☆MAN, Inori Minase's Ready Steady Go!, and most AKB48 single songs (The Fortune Cookie of Love; Heavy Rotation; Everyday, Katyusha, etc.).
 * The COSMIC LOVE music video however, had the logo in Nana Mizuki's official YouTube channel.
 * The Fansoop.com version of Trickster, Synchrogazer, and Destiny's Prelude had no logo.

Editor's Note: This logo is similar to the last Perfini logo from 1989 and SF Studios from 1930 to 1932 and 1939 to 2000. The "Vitalization" variant has even worse than the "Get up! Shout!" variant, thanks to the frightening imagery face of Nana Mizuki.

2nd Logo (Late 1990s?)
TBA.

3rd Logo (Early 2010s- )
Logo: On a black background, we see the silvery letters "KING RECORDS" flip in and zoom out, as red, blue, and green stripes streak in and fly underneath, forming the familiar tri-colored line in their logo. The company name flashes and turns to white.

FX/SFX: The letters appearing, the streaks flying, the flash.

Music/Sounds: Several whooshes, then a synth note.

Availability: Uncommon. Can be seen at the start of some Funimation series, such as Endro! and Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist, among others. Might plaster the Starchild logo.

Editor's Note: TBA.
