Logo: On a navy blue background, we see over a red rectangle an illustration of a blue grasshopper with red eyes, in addition to a white human face with its eyes closed, hunched over and crossing its front limbs. At the bottom of the rectangle is the red lowercase letter 'g' in a blue circle with a round notch on either side.  grasshopper  in seen above in white Impact font,  MANUFACTURE  below in a thin font. Below the grasshopper is  SALON#ANALOG#ORGANIZATION .

Variants:


 * On the PlayStation 2 version of Flower Sun and Rain (Hana to Taiyō to Ame to) and Michigan: Report From Hell, the background, grasshopper eyes and 'g' are lime green, the text is navy, and the rectangle behind the grasshopper is omitted.
 * On Killer7, the logo is light blue on a white background, the grasshopper's eyes being a red-orange gradient. Suddenly, the logo shifts to black on a red background, the human face becoming white.
 * On Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked, the logo is dark purple on a blue background. The logo is sliced in half horizontally as the pieces drift off, the grasshopper's face becoming a sad one, with a single tear.
 * On Blood+: One Night Kiss, the grasshopper has been redrawn, and is contained within a black, Warner-Bros.-like shield shape on a white background, with the letters 'ghm' in a black serif font lining the edge of the shield (they're reflected on the right), with a vine design surrounding a black notched circle with a 'g' in a red, cursive font. Above is a rectangle separated into two sections: one with 'grasshopper' in black on white, and another with 'manufacture' in white on black.
 * On Contact, the logo is lime green on a white background.
 * On the Nintendo DS version of Flower Sun and Rain, the redrawn grasshopper standing inside of a crest consisting of a navy circle with a white border and the text  GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE  above and  Punk's Not Dead  below, a domestic cat on the left and unicorn on the right holding up the circle, two white roses, and a green banner reading  Video Game Band  on the bottom. Above is a shrine-like shape with a blocky, hexagon-like letter 'G' inside a white circle, and a green rectangle under it reading  since 1998  . No More Heroes also features this variant, but with a black-and-green color scheme.
