1st Logo (November 24, 1989-2013)[]
On a black or white background, we see the text "ATLUS" in a futuristic, segmented font, colored mostly in blue with the "T" in red.
2nd Logo (1992-1995)[]
On a black background, the letters of the company logo appear one at a time, rotating once in a clockwise direction as they appear. The logo has a more metallic color compared to its predecessor.
3rd Logo (October 20, 1995-April 16, 1999)[]
We see a black background, we see several gray blocks (which are actually letters to "ATLUS") with red and blue lights floating around them. The blocks pass by at different angles as the lights float into them and color them. We then zoom out to see the completed Atlus logo, followed by the logo shining.
4th Logo (June 24, 1999-June 27, 2003)[]
We fade to a wormhole with electricity going through it. As we zoom out of the wormhole, a silver "S" from the Atlus logo flips in and flashes, followed by a silver "U", a silver "L", a silver "T" and a silver "A", while they flip in faster and flash faster than the previous. The camera rotates and pans, while electricity appears above the logo, making the logo blue. Some rays move and color the "T" red. The camera stops rotating, as the logo shines.
5th Logo (Early 2010s)[]
We see a black background, the company itself blinking, then the letter "T" covers in red paint and the letters "A" through "S" fade to blue.
6th Logo (May 7, 2014-present)[]
On a black background we see the revised Atlus logo, without the segments and the letters being further separated.
Variants:
- The logo originally had the white outline, but it was removed starting on 2020s releases.
- On Persona 5 Royal, we first see Joker's mask from the loading screen. The hair then appears, before the camera zooms out and his silhouette is revealed. Joker jumps, as we zoom out from multiple building lights and the letters of the Atlus logo are revealed in white. Once the letters settle, it fades to its colors with the white outline.
