Contents | |||
---|---|---|---|
1st Logo (March 15, 1997-August 14, 1999) | 2nd Logo (Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie custom variant) (September 7, 1999) | 3rd Logo (April 4, 2019) | 4th Logo (February 14, 2020-) |
1st Logo (March 15, 1997-August 14, 1999)
This logo contains flashing images at 0:02-0:03. |
Visuals: The Sega logo fades 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.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: A tense synth pad drone with percussive echoes during the flashing.
Availability: Seen on the Neon Genesis Evangelion movies Evangelion: Death (True)² and The End of Evangelion, as well as their combined cut Revival of Evangelion. It also appeared on Cyber Team in Akihabara: Summer Vacation of 2011.
2nd Logo (Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie custom variant) (September 7, 1999)
Visuals: The screen fades in to a white background. The SEGA logo with a trademark symbol fades in afterwards. Everything then fades out.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (the full American release of the two-part Sonic the Hedgehog OVA).
3rd Logo (April 4, 2019)
Visuals: Transitioning from the 2013 version of the 2011 Paramount logo, one of the rings from the 2019 Sonic variant transitions to the Sega logo zooming in a bit on a black background with blue dust. Electricity goes through the logo.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Electric sounds combined with the music from the trailer.
Availability: Only seen on the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog (2020). The second trailer and the film itself have the next logo instead.
4th Logo (February 14, 2020-)
Visuals: 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 blue with a white outline, making it the North American and European version of the logo. A "®" symbol appears next to it, and the byline "A SEGA SAMMY COMPANY" fades in below; both are in white.

Variants:
- An open-matte 16:9 version of the logo exists along with the 2.39:1 version.
- On the second trailer of Sonic the Hedgehog and TV shows, the logo is sped up.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: The second leg of the first part of 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)" (the second film uses a re-arranged version of the second leg of the first part), which includes a majestic two-note melody alluding to the iconic "SEGAAAAAAA!" chant when the logo is complete. On Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the chorus comes in slightly faster and earlier.
- On the sped up version, the sound when rings are lost in Sonic games is heard over part of the trailer's theme. It is followed by the sound when a ring is collected in Sonic games.
- On TV shows, the 1-up jingle introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) is heard, followed by the Sonic ring sound. This was the sound used in the Sonic series' 20th and 30th anniversary logos.
Availability:
- Made its debut on the second trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) on November 12, 2019, and later debuted on the film itself.
- It was also preserved on the trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) and later appears on said film.
- The open matte version can be seen on TV airings of both films, as well as the end of each episode of Sonic Prime. Knuckles, however, used the original aspect ratio at the end of each episode.
- However, most networks such as HBO (in Asia, at least) use the normal scope prints.
Legacy: Generally considered a great tribute to Sega's history, helped by the fact that the Sega choir is heard in a major motion picture.
