Sega (1991) is a video game logo where the SEGA logo is shown against a white screen while a rather loud choir of voices chant, "Segaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!". It has been known to scare many viewers and has been parodied many times on YouTube and on TV shows.
Logos[]
1st logo: On a black background we see a prototypical version of the Sega logo (thinner than the current one in white with a blue outline and with still shines on the "S" and "A"). COMPUTER SOFTWARE is beneath in the same color with "© 1989" in red and yellow below. "PROGRAM LOADING..." is on the very bottom of the logo in the same color as the first two texts.
2nd logo: We see the Sega logo in it's futuristic font (which is in blue and contains many white stripes around it, for those who don't know) on a black background. On most games, the color changes in shades of blue.
Variants[]
- On its early days since until 1991, the registered trademark symbol "®" symbol was used. Starting around late 1990, the "TM" symbol replaces the registered trademark "®" symbol.
- Sometimes, the logo lacks the trademark symbol.
- On Cool Spot, Spot is seen jumping through the SEGA logo.
- On some Game Gear titles, the logo is plain blue and takes place on the blue background.
- On X-Men, the logo zooms away from the screen. Plus, the logo always changing colors.
3rd logo: On a white or black background, we have the Sega logo with the words "PRESENTED BY" in small lettering above.
Variants[]
- In the original PC port of Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut,the logo is on a white background and the view is resized by the screen resolution (the bigger the resolution is, the smaller the logo gets) unless the fill modes under "UI Scaling" (in the graphics tab in SADX Mod Loader) was set to "Fit" or "Fill" with the loader installed.
- On the 2011 remake of Sonic CD for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Android and iOS, the logo is on a dark blue background.
- On Sonic Forces,the logo is zoomed out further than usual. "Presented by" is not above the logo.
- On Sonic Shuffle, "Presented by" is in the same font as the Dreamcast logo.
4th logo: On a white background, a stop-motion Sonic jumps around, revealing the Sega logo. He then stops, he starts spinning and settles next to it on the left and does a Vanna White-style pose.
Variants[]
- On Alpha Protocol, a red streak runs through the formed logo, coloring it golden.
- On The Conduit, we see several circles adjusting around the pyramid with an eye sign above. They match and form "SEGA", which shines and reveals as a regular logo. The announcer is heard as well.
- On Iron Man 2 for PSP, a blue spot lights on and creates blocks which form the computerized Sega logo.
- There's an early variation of the logo after it's fully formed the words "Presented by" appears on top of the logo.
5th logo: We see a close zoom in of a person's blue eye at an angle in front of a white background. We can see the Sega logo reflected inside of the eye, upon which the logo rotates to the right. As the Sega logo gradually comes to a stop, the eye widens in size and the pupil grows larger.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo: The intro of a game or none.
2nd logo: None or the opening theme of the game. But on games produced by Infogrames (except for The Smurfs 2), the "SEEEEEGA!" jingle can be heard.
3rd logo: Usually none.
Music/Sounds Variants[]
- Sonic Mega Collection, Sonic Gems Collection, the 2011 remake of Sonic CDand Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit use the "SEEEEEGA!" jingle.
- The Hatsune Miku: Project Diva series has Miku Hatsune (a real-life PC singing synthethizer software) singing "SEEEEEGA!".
- K-On! Houkago Live!! has the "SEEEEEGA!" yell performed by K-On! protagonist Yui Hirasawa (voiced by Aki Toyosaki).
- Sonic Adventure for the Sega Dreamcast has one of the characters in the game say "Sega." It changes each time the game starts up.
4th logo: A synth whooshing while the logo forms, followed by a male announcer saying the company name.
5th logo: A rising droning sound, promptly followed by a dramatic electronic synth with an echo effect.
Scare Factor[]
Sonic first game. Medium to Nightmare, due to the loud SE-GA voice, it has scared many gamers, the next one is worst however...
Sonic second game. High to Nightmare, thanks to the SE-GA voice being higher-pitched.
Sonic 3D blast. High to Nightmare, due to the yelling.
Silent Version. Low to High, the logo forming is ugly, but there is no SE-GA voice.
