1st Logo (2009-2013)

FX/SFX: The light and the logo appearing.

Music/Sounds: A "ding" sound in G-major. On international commercials, this is pitched to A-flat.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (Late 2013-October 2021)
Nicknames: "Be Moved", "The Sony Flash"

FX/SFX: The fade-in, flash, and the fade-out.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

3rd Logo (May 19, 2021-)
Nicknames: "Sony is There, For Your Every Emotion", "The Evolution of Sony's Motion Logo", "We Are Sony", "The Sony Flash II"

Logo: Similar concept to the previous logo, but with the 2021 logo instead. It's the same one used on trailers, but the transition to the studio logo is replaced with a black background instead.

Trivia:
 * This was also used as Sony's current motion logo since May 19, 2021. ​The concept of this logo can be seen here.
 * The motion logo was filmed with practical effects as opposed to CGI, as it was done to capture the effect of the Sony logotype "breaking the boundaries".

Variants:
 * There are two white background versions of the logo that are exclusive to Sony-related promos and commercials. The only differences between these two are the multicolored backdrop and the logo's color ( and blue, respectively).

FX/SFX: The color gradually flashing when the logo appears and zooms.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability: Current. Seen on commercials from the company.
