Logo (1999-2006)

Visuals: On a starry sky background, three triangles are seen rotating around, with each being in red, green, and purple. Soon, two triangles - yellow and blue - fly in from the foreground and land on the other triangles. The triangles flash blue, coming together as a solid shape, the Sugishobou emblem, with "SUGISHOBOU" appearing under it with another blue flash. The background becomes solid blue, before the logo fades to black.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An echoing, ambient synth track. Soft synth notes play as the triangles move and as "SUGISHOBOU" appears.

Availability: Sugishobou only released exactly 17 films, and their copies have become hard to find in the decades since.
