Bandai Games

1st Logo (March 20, 1994-)
Logo: Just a still Bandai logo, mostly on a black background.

Technique: None.

Variants:
 * Most games released in North America had the registered trademark symbol next to the logo.
 * On one game released in North America, the byline "Media Gothic" with the trademark symbol appears next to the logo.

Availability: Seen on most games made by the company. The earliest games to include this logo are Ultraman Powered for 3DO and Dragon Ball Z: Idainaru Son Gokū Densetsu for PC Engine. However, most games during this logo's early years don't have this logo at the beginning.

2nd Logo (September 23, 1994-1996)
Logo: On a white background, a CGI Bandai logo comes out falling on the screen. It jumps one time and stretches itself. After getting back to the floor, the Bandai logo runs to the screen, and as the background dims the logo zooms back to the center and goes 2D. The background lights up as this happens.

Technique: CGI animation, taking a spotlight of the Playdia's FMV capabilities.

Music/Sounds: A weird bouncy theme, with the sounds of kids laughing later and then an orchestra hit.

3rd Logo (July 28, 1995-May 20, 1999)
