Sega Productions: Difference between revisions

<u>Nicknames:</u> "Flashing Sega"

<u>Logo:</u> We see the Sega logo fading 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.

<u>FX/SFX:</u> The logo distorting rapidly.

<u>Music/Sounds:</u> A tense synth pad drone with percussive echoes during the flashing.

<u>Availability:</u> Seen on ''The End of Evangelion.''

<u>Editor's Note:</u> A very uncharacteristically dark and tense logo, but it nonetheless perfectly fits with the movie it precedes.

<u>Logo:</u> 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-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. A "®" symbol appears next to it, and the byline "A SEGA SAMMY COMPANY" fades in below; both are in white.

<u>Trivia:</u> The games that are seen here include Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic Adventure, Virtua Racing, Jet Set Radio and Samba de Amigo, among many others. Also shown are the boot-up screens for the Sega Saturn (using the original retail Japanese console boot-up) and Dreamcast (which is the retail "NTSC Red" boot-up).

<u>FX/SFX:</u> The gameplay footage, and the mosaic turning into the familiar Sega logo.

<u>Music/Sounds:</u> The opening of the film's score composed by Tom Holkenborg, which includes a majestic two-note melody alluding to the iconic "SEGAAAAAAA!" chant when the logo is complete.

<u>Availability:</u> So far, seen only on ''Sonic The Hedgehog.''

<u>Editor's Note:</u> A great tribute to Sega's history, and is sure to please many fans of the company. Hearing the Sega chant in a major motion picture is a definite bonus. Also, it's the first time a Sega logo has had a byline reflecting its parent company, Sega Sammy Holdings.
