''' | '''Audio:''' A synth bass note with chimes ringing, followed by another bass note, which often continues to the PlayStation logo of the time. Note that the music starts before we even fade into the white background. | ||
''' | '''Audio Trivia:''' The music's sequence is generated by 3 integrated PCM sound files which come from the BIOS software (the chimes, bass note and a "shattering"-like reversed sound). All of them are being played in different speeds and pitches than the original samples (also processed in reverb). This is also the same with the following PlayStation logo. | ||
'''Availability:''' Appears when you turn on a Sony PlayStation or its compact re-design, the PSone. The logo is not seen when you play a PlayStation game on the PlayStation 2 or 3. The "Sony Interactive Entertainment" variant appears on the PlayStation Classic, released on December 3rd, 2018. | '''Availability:''' Appears when you turn on a Sony PlayStation or its compact re-design, the PSone.

''' | '''Audio:''' A whooshing, breathy synth jingle with bells, followed by a whoosh when we zoom into the cloud. When a PlayStation disc, a DVD/CD, or a hard drive is inside the PS2, there is no whoosh when we zoom into the cloud. | ||
''' | '''Audio Trivia:''' Similarly to the 1st logo, the music is generated from a sequence of different PCM audio files from the BIOS software (with about 17 included), all played in different pitches and playback speeds. The other sounds available are used for the RSoD screen, the PS2 logo, and the menu. | ||
''' | '''Audio Variants:''' When the red background appears, there is a more tense synth jingle with a breathy humming sound, followed by the sounds of wind blowing and waves flowing. | ||
'''Availability:''' Appears when you turn on a PlayStation 2. The "Red Screen of Death" only appears when an unreadable disc (or a disc that is not a PS, PS2, DVD, or Audio CD disc) is inserted. | '''Availability:''' Appears when you turn on a PlayStation 2.

'''Availability:''' This can be seen when you boot up a PSP (not from stand-by mode), but if the theme is changed on a hacked PSP, you might not be able to see it. | '''Availability:''' This can be seen when you boot up a PSP (not from stand-by mode), but if the theme is changed on a hacked PSP, you might not be able to see it. | ||

''' | '''Audio:''' An orchestra of string and woodwind instruments warming up, sounding similar to the orchestra in the [[THX]] Cimarron trailer. Like the 1st logo's music, it starts before the background fades in. After the September 1, 2009 update, the music was slightly changed. | ||
'''Availability:''' Appears when you turn on any PlayStation 3 that has firmware below 3.00, which might be hard to find on sites like eBay. As of the September 1, 2009 update, the startup has been changed to display the PlayStation Family logo and the new PS3 logo, in place of the SCE logo. | '''Availability:''' Appears when you turn on any PlayStation 3 that has firmware below 3.00, which might be hard to find on sites like eBay.
