'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the Capcom logo (with the word "CAPCOM" in yellow with a blue outline, set in the Korinna font), which shines briefly. The logo looks metallic. In some cases, there is no animation.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' A low-pitched version of the theme can be heard on the game ''Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems'' (awaiting for more games that used the music variant).

'''Availability:''' Seen on all Capcom developed games in the 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit era, such as ''Mega Man X1''-''3'' (only the SNES version of ''Megaman X3'' has this logo, the PlayStation and ''Megaman X Collection'' versions use the next logo), ''Street Fighter 2'', etc. This logo was left intact on ''Megaman 7'' in ''Megaman Anniversary Collection'' for PS2 and GC, and on ''Megaman X'' and ''Megaman X2'' in ''Megaman X Collection'', also for PS2 and GC. The "Capcom Presents" variant is known to be on ''Megaman 4''-''6'' on NES, which is also left intact on ''Megaman Anniversary Collection'' and ''Final Fight'' on the SNES.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Usually silent, the end of the Q-Sound jingle, or an announcer saying Capcom.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, pieces of the logo in gold appear spinning in one by one on the screen. They are then connected together (by cyan lazers) to form the completed logo, which then slowly zooms in and changes into it's standard colors. "Presents" appears below it, and then the film's opening scene plays.

'''Technique:''' CGI animation for the golden Capcom logo and the "Presents" text at the end.

'''Availability:''' Only found on ''Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie'' (''Street Fighter II: Movie'' in Japan).

 

'''Legacy:''' Although it was only seen on one film, the animation is a little cheap, as it is a calm logo. This logo is also a little reminiscent of the next logo.

'''Technique:''' The purple line drawing the Capcom logo, and the gold square spinning, zooming out, and breaking apart, as well as the zoom in of the completed Capcom logo.

'''Availability:''' So far, it has only been seen on early PlayStation and Saturn games produced by the company, normally with the [[Virgin Interactive]] logo appearing after this logo in Europe. Games that have this include ''Street Fighter Alpha'', ''Street Fighter: The Movie'', the original release of ''Resident Evil'' (the ''Director's Cut'' and Saturn versions use the 6th logo), ''X-Men: Children of Atom'' (the Saturn version only, the PlayStation version uses the 7th logo), ''Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors'', ''Street Fighter Alpha 2'', and ''Megaman X3'' (the latter of which being only released in Japan and Europe). It has also been seen on the version of ''Megaman X3'' included in ''Megaman X Collection'' for PS2 and GC (most likely since it's an emulation of the PlayStation version). This also appears on Japan-only games such as ''Arthur to Astaroth no Nazo Makaimura: Incredible Toons'' and ''Gakkou no Kowai Uwasa: Hanako-san ga Kita!!'' for the PlayStation, and on the ''Street Fighter II: Movie'' game.
