'''Sony Interactive Entertainment''' ('''SIE''' for short, formerly "Sony Network Entertainment" and "Sony Computer Entertainment") was founded and established on November 16, 1993 in Tokyo, Japan as a subsidiary of [[Sony|Sony]] to create the [[PlayStation]] video game console. The PlayStation was the result of [[Nintendo|Nintendo]] and Sony teaming up to try to create a CD add-on for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] (SNES for short). However, the deal said that Sony must license the SNES-CD games and not Nintendo. This betrayed Nintendo, and they asked [[Philips Media]] to create the add-on, and the deal was accepted. Philips went on to create four video games for their CD-i, since they had some of the licenses from Nintendo's characters. Once Sony heard about Nintendo and Philips' collaboration which gave Sony "a taste of their own medicine", they went on to independently develop a CD-based game console, the PlayStation. It was a success, leaving Sony to make more PlayStation consoles (including the PlayStation 2, which has gone on to become the best-selling console of all time, at sales of over 150 million units worldwide), even a portable console called the PSP. They continued to make a successful line of consoles and handhelds, such as the PlayStation 3, the PlayStation Vita, the PlayStation 4, and most recently the PlayStation 5. In April 2016, Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Network Entertainment was restructured and reorganized into Sony Interactive Entertainment, carrying over the operations and primary objectives from both companies. | '''Sony Interactive Entertainment''' ('''SIE''' for short, formerly "Sony Network Entertainment" and "Sony Computer Entertainment") was founded and established on November 16, 1993 in Tokyo, Japan as a subsidiary of [[Sony Corporation|Sony]] to create the [[PlayStation]] video game console.

'''Logo:''' We fade into a white background, then an {{color|orange}}/{{color|gold}} gradient diamond appears. After that, two triangles appear on the diamond in an "S" shape. After it's completed, "{{color|darkblue|SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT}}" appears, with "SONY" above the diamond and in its corporate font (actually a variation of the Clarendon typeface font). | '''Logo:''' We fade into a white background, then an {{color|orange}}/{{color|gold}} gradient diamond appears.

'''Logo:''' On a black background with {{color|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 {{color|blue}}, {{color|green}}, {{color|pink}}, and {{color|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 {{color|blue}} clouds, 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. | '''Logo:''' On a black background with {{color|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.

'''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:''' On a black background, the white text "Sony Computer Entertainment" fades in, which is positioned on the center of the screen.
