===1st Logo (December 3, 1994-March 23, 2006, December 3, 2018- )===

'''Logo:''' We fade into a white background, then an orange/yellow gradient diamond appears. After that, two triangles appear on the diamond in an "S" shape. After it's completed:

appears in a dark blue color, with "SONY" in its corporate font (actually a variation of the Clarendon typeface font).

*On earlier generation PlayStation consoles (SCPH-100x series to SCPH-555x series), the Sony Computer Entertainment text is larger and the trademark symbol is on the right of the diamond instead of the "COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT" text.

*From the SCPH-700x onwards, however, the SCE text is a bit smaller. Also on pretty much all the original PlayStation consoles, when the above logo appears, a TM sign appears next to the logo.

*On very early Japan-region consoles, the sound can still be heard fading out over the menu screen

*On the PlayStation Classic, the diamond is smaller, zooms in and has been moved to the left, and “Sony Interactive Entertainment” appears next to it, replicating the company's current print logo.

Presents

in a Helvetica-like font. It usually appears after the PlayStation logo on Japanese/NTSC-J and North American/NTSC-U/C PlayStation games, but on European/PAL games, it usually appears after the piracy warning (which is common on PAL PlayStation games from 1995 to 1999).

===3rd Logo (March 4, 2000-January 4, 2013)===

'''Logo:''' On a black background with blue clouds and 5 dark, giant glass cubes, we see "Sony Computer Entertainment" in white fade in and fade out in the span of a few seconds. We also see four comets, colored blue, green, pink, and red (representing the colors of the shapes [X, Triangle, Square, and Circle, respectively] that are on the round buttons on a PlayStation controller). We slowly zoom into the blue cloud, tilting as we do so. After a few seconds, depending on a few things explained below, we suddenly zoom in and go to either the main menu, the PlayStation Broadband Navigator, the "Red Screen of Death" variant listed below, the PS2 logo, the PS1 logo, or the start of the DVD/CD if one is inserted.

*How long we zoom into the blue cloud depends on a few factors; whenever there is a hard disk inserted, if the hard disk is corrupted, if the PSBBN is installed in the HDD, how long the console takes to boot up the software, etc. It ranges from instantaneous to about twenty seconds.

*Depending on how much data you have on a PS2 Memory Card, there will be white blocks all over the screen when you turn on the PS2. This only happens if a Memory Card and/or Memory Cards with saved data is inserted into the Memory Card slots. As a game gets played more and more, its block will become an ever-growing tower with a misty trail behind it. The screen will be empty (as the picture on the top left shows) if there is no Memory Card inserted.

'''FX/SFX:''' The text fading in and out, the zoom-in onto the cloud.

===4th Logo (December 12, 2004-December 2014)===

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the white text "Sony Computer Entertainment" fades in, which is positioned on the center of the screen. Behind it is a line of color starting to emerge. The text fades out and the line emerges, revealing a moving lava lamp-like background in a color depending on the month or selected in the settings. The XMB interface appears when there is no UMD in the latch or the UMD Auto-Start is turned off.

'''Logo:''' We see the words "Sony Computer Entertainment" against a black background.
