1st Logo (July 19, 1997)
Nickname: "Flashing Sega"

Logo: We see the Sega logo fading in on a black background. The logo then flashes, warps and glitches in sudden cuts, one of them also being an electricity bolt, and then fades out.

FX/SFX: The logo distorting rapidly.

Music/Sounds: A tense synth pad drone with percussive echoes during the flashing.

Availability: Seen on The End of Evangelion.

Editor's Note: A very uncharacteristically dark and tense logo, but it nonetheless perfectly fits with the movie it precedes.

2nd Logo (September 7, 1999)
Logo: We fade in to a white background. The SEGA logo with a trademark symbol fades in afterwards. Everything then fades out.

FX/SFX: The fading.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (the American release of the two-part Sonic the Hedgehog OVA).

Editor's Note: This seems to have only appeared on the American release of the OVA, and as it was promoted as a movie it would count for an inclusion on this page.

3rd Logo (February 14, 2020-)
Nickname: "The Montage of Sega"

Logo: The scene opens with gameplay footage of the original Sonic The Hedgehog. The camera slowly starts zooming out, revealing squares containing footage from other Sega and Atlus produced and published/licensed games placed side by side. Then, the camera zooms out quickly, revealing that the screens are forming a mosaic in the shape of the Sega logo on a black background. Finally, the logo flashes white, turning it with a white outline. A "®" symbol appears next to it, and the byline "A SEGA SAMMY COMPANY" fades in below; both are in white.

Also shown are the boot-up screens for the Sega Saturn (using the original retail Japanese console boot-up) and Dreamcast (which is the retail Japanese and North American boot-up with the orange swirl), as well as other event related and promotional videos, like Toshihiro Nagoshi's close up in the "Amazing Sega" concept video.

FX/SFX: The gameplay footage, and the mosaic turning into the familiar Sega logo.

Music/Sounds: The opening of the two Sonic films' score composed by Tom "Junkie XL" Holkenborg, listed in the soundtrack of the first film as "Meet Sonic (Before We Start I Gotta Tell You This)", which includes a majestic two-note melody alluding to the iconic "SEGAAAAAAA!" chant when the logo is complete.

Availability: Made its debut on the 2020 movie Sonic The Hedgehog. It also appeared on the trailer for Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and later appeared on said film.

Editor's Note: A great tribute to Sega's history, and is sure to please many fans of the company. Hearing the Sega chant in a major motion picture is a definite bonus. Also, it's the first time a Sega logo has had a byline reflecting its parent company, Sega Sammy Holdings.
