LG Mobile

Background
LG Electronics used to manufacture smartphones and tablet devices under its LG Mobile unit. In 2021, LG's mobile phone division was shut down due to heavy competition from other smartphone manufacturers.

1st Logo (2005)
Logo:
 * Startup: We see a white background. It fades to a starry view with some sort of building. Later, a shooting star goes through the stars.
 * Shutdown: We see an evening background with a lighthouse. The lighthouse's light goes through the background. We then fade to black.

FX/SFX: Nice animation at the time.

Music/Sounds:
 * Startup: A MIDI jazz theme.
 * Shutdown: A long, quick MIDI ditty.

Availability: Only seen when you boot up an LG phone from 2005.

(2012-2013)


Logo:
 * Startup: TBA.
 * Shutdown: TBA.

FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds:
 * LG Optimus G: The same tune from the previous logo.
 * LG G2: TBA.

Availability: It is seen when you boot up an LG Optimus G, LG G2 or any other smartphones released by LG at the time.

(2014-2021)
Logo:
 * Startup: On a black background, we see a moving pink circle that rotates to reveal the LG circle. A pink light also movies while the LG circle moves, until eventually zooming out. "L" and "G" come out letter by letter while the LG circle blinks and gains its gloss. "Life's Good" fades in below. (This animation is very similar to the logo used on LG's commercials at the time, except it takes place on a black background.) The LG circle shines until the phone is at the lock screen.
 * Shutdown: The animation is played in reverse, but removes the shining at the end of the startup.

Variant: Starting from 2015, the font of the "LG" text is changed from Helvetica Black to LG Smart. This was first seen on the LG G Flex 2.

FX/SFX: The zooming of the circles.

Music/Sounds:
 * Startup: TBA
 * Shutdown: A truncated version of the startup theme.

Availability: Seen on LG's more recent smartphones from 2014 until 2021, with the final smartphone made the company being the LG Velvet 2 Pro, which was only sold to LG employees.

Legacy: This logo was notorious amomg the tech community due to being seen as symbolic of LG's persistent boot-loop issues.
