Sega (Commercial Tags)

Tag (1988-1997?)
Tag: We see a Mega Drive console and controller sitting in the middle of a blue-black floor. The Sega logo rises from its top before halting when the logo is formed.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the registered trademark symbol would be absent from the Sega logo.
 * The logo would sometimes be still.
 * Whenever this tag would appear at the end of a commercial sponsoring a campaign, some campaign information would appear at the bottom

Technique: A mix of live-action and analog computer effects.

Audio: The classic "SEEEEEGA!" choir.

Availability: Seen on Japanese commercials for Mega Drive games by the company during this period.

Tag (1991-1993)
Tag: On a white background, a stop-motion Sonic jumps around, revealing the Sega logo. He then stops jumping and settles next to it on the left and does a Vanna White-style pose.

Availability: Seen on Japanese commercials for Sonic games by the company during this period.

Tag (Early-1990s)
