1st Logo (Neon Genesis Evangelion custom variant) (March 15, 1997-March 7, 1998)
Logo: We see the Sega logo fading in on a black background. the logo then flashes, warps and glitches in sudden cuts, one of them also being an electricity bolt, and then fades out.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A tense synth pad drone with percussive echoes during the flashing.

Availability: Seen on the Neon Genesis Evangelion movies Evangelion: Death (True)² and The End of Evangelion, as well as their combined cut Revival of Evangelion.

Legacy: A very uncharacteristically dark and tense logo, but it nonetheless perfectly fits with the films it precedes.

2nd Logo (Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie custom variant) (September 7, 1999)
Logo: We fade in to a white background. The SEGA logo with a trademark symbol fades in afterwards. Everything then fades out.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (the full American release of the two-part Sonic the Hedgehog OVA).

Legacy: Just a boring logo. Nothing much to say.

3rd Logo (April 2019)
Logo: Transitioning from the 2013 version of the 2011 Paramount logo, one of the rings from the 2019 Sonic variant transitions to the Sega logo zooming in a bit on a black background with blue dust. Electricity goes through the logo.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Electric sounds combined with the opening theme of the trailer.

Availability: Only seen on the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog (2020). The second trailer and the film itself have the next logo instead.

Legacy: Although the infamous first trailer used the old design for Movie Sonic, it's interesting that it also used this logo.

4th Logo (February 14, 2020-)
Logo: The scene opens with gameplay footage of the original Sonic the Hedgehog. The camera slowly starts zooming out, revealing squares containing footage from other Sega and Atlus produced and published/licensed games placed side by side. then, the camera zooms out quickly, revealing that the screens are forming a mosaic in the shape of the Sega logo on a black background. Finally, the logo flashes white, turning it with a white outline, making it the North American & European version of the logo. A "®" symbol appears next to it, and the byline "A SEGA SAMMY COMPANY" fades in below; both are in white.

Music/Sounds: The opening of the two Sonic films' score composed by Tom "Junkie XL" Holkenborg, listed in the soundtrack of the first film as "Meet Sonic (Before We Start I Gotta Tell You This)" (the second film uses a re-arranged version of the first part), which includes a majestic two-note melody alluding to the iconic "SEGAAAAAAA!" chant when the logo is complete. On Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the chorus comes in slightly faster and earlier.
 * On the sped up version, The sound when you lose all your rings in Sonic games is heard over part of the trailer's theme. It is followed by the sound when you collect rings in Sonic games.
 * On Sonic Prime, the Sonic the Hedgehog series' 20th anniversary sound (the 1-UP jingle from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and the ring sound) is used.

Availability: Current.

 * The open matte version can be seen on TV airings of both films, as well as the end of Sonic Prime. Most networks such as HBO (in Asia, at least) use the normal 2.35:1 prints.

Legacy: Generally considered a great tribute to Sega's history, helped by the fact that the Sega choir is heard in a major motion picture.
