We can see the North American & European 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. In the static version, used for its games, the static Sega logo appears (see 4th logo). | ||
'''Trivia:''' This logo was introduced as part of a new "''Amazing Sega''" corporate identity introduced by the company. The concept for this identity (and by extension, the logo) is based on studies based on the eye being the first part of the body to respond to an "amazing" experience. However, a static Sega logo is used in games instead. The concept video can be shown [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y50nAoA5KwY here] with English subtitles and it doesn't have Tashihiro Nagoshi saying "Amazing Sega" at the end of the video. Note that the Japanese version of the video, as well as the making of the video, which has been posted on Sega's Japanese YouTube channel, have been marked as Private. | '''Trivia:''' This logo was introduced as part of a new "''Amazing Sega''" corporate identity introduced by the company.
