Sega Sports

Logo descriptions by EnormousRat

Background: Sega created the Sports brand in 1993 to publish numerous sports and racing games, mainly for its own platforms Genesis, Game Gear and Saturn, and later the Dreamcast. The brand was abandoned in 2003. Later in 2005, Sega sold Visual Concepts and several sport licenses to Take-Two.

1st Logo (1993-1997)
Logo: On a black background, the original Sega Sports logo appears. It consists of the word "SEGA" in a blocky font in blue above a blue rectangle. Inside the rectangle is the word, "SPORTS" written in white and in spaced-out letters. The whole symbol is outlined in red.

Variants: TBA

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None. Sometimes, the game's opening theme is heard.

Availability: Common. It's seen on all Sega games under the Sega Sports label such as Virtua Racing Deluxe, Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition, Sega Rally Championship and Manx TT Superbike.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1999-2003)
Logo: Against a black background with a blue light through it, several giant letters (ostensibly "Sega Sports") rapidly fly, massively close up to the camera to the point of obscurity, then fly in the same way downward. After this, "SEGA" in a giant metal font looking nothing whatsoever like the signature logo spins out from the center of the camera. An oblong blue bar (ironically resembling Nintendo's logo in shape) swings below it as "sports", in the same font in white. appears on the bar. The background dilutes blue light as more particles fly past it (including more copies of "Sega Sports" and a pair of black parentheses extends from the main logo. The light dies and the background is black again, and the bar shines once.

FX/SFX: The letters flying, the logo zooming out, the bar swinging, the background, and the shining.

Music/Sounds: Several metallic screeches. There is a variant with sounds arranged differently.

Availability: Appeared on NBA, NHL, World Series Baseball and NFL game series.

Editor's Note: None.
