MTO

Background
MTO Co., Ltd., known in full as Motorsports Software Technical Office and stylized as M2to, is a Japanese video game developer and publisher founded on May 28, 1996 and is based in Yokohama.

logo (January 15, 1998-May 11, 2000)
Logo: On a brick wall covered with vines of some kind, we see a rich brown, wooden sign with the company logo, which is in yellow and consists of the text "M2to" in a handwritten font above a squiggly underline that has a dot on its bottom right. We zoom into the sign before the scenery fades away to a white background and the logo changes colors, with the "M" becoming dark green, "2to" and the underline becoming grey and the inside of the "o" becoming red. On top of the underline is the black text "MOTORSPORTS SOFTWARE TECHNICAL OFFICE".

Technique: Prerendered CGI.

Music/Sounds: The sound of a car engine being started.

Availability: Seen on Option Tuning Car Battle, Naniwa Wangan Battle, Option Tuning Car Battle 2 and Option Tuning Car Battle Spec-R.

2nd logo (October 15, 1999-November 13, 2014)
Logo: On a white background and inside a box with a black outline, we see the same colored MTO logo from the previous logo.

 * Starting with the Nintendo DS version of Dogz, a black byline reading "Everybody Loves" is added above the box. On some releases such as Oshare na Koinu DS and Shunsoku Mezase!
