===Background ===
===Background===
'''Sega''' was originally founded in 1940 as "Standard Games" in Honolulu, Hawaii. The company was then moved to Tokyo, Japan by Raymond Lemaire and Richard Stewart as a means of distributing coin-operated games and was renamed "Service Games". In later years the company would become "Sega" (an abbreviation for "SErvice GAmes"), its current identity. Sega would soon become an immediate competitor to [[Nintendo]] right after they started manufacturing video game consoles (such as the Genesis, Sega Master System, etc.) and came up with their own iconic mascot Sonic the Hedgehog. As of today, Sega is still active.

'''Availability:''' Common. Seen on most games for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. Also appears on some games for the Sega Game Gear (and the Sega 32X attachment for the Genesis/Mega Drive). Some of the only games not to use this logo were most Sega Master System games and every [[Electronic Arts]] game for Sega Genesis (including [[EA Sports]] games as well). But one EA Genesis game that contains the logo is ''Shaq Fu'', while ''Baku Baku Animals'', ''Bonkers Wax Up!'', ''Daffy Duck in Hollywood'', ''Double Dragon'', ''Lemmings'', ''Sonic Blast'', ''Streets of Rage'', ''Ultimate Soccer'' and ''Virtual Fighter Animation'' were the only Sega Master System games that contain the logo. The logo can be also seen on EA Game Gear games. It is generally left intact in most re-releases of Sega games of the time period like on Wii Virtual Console re-releases of Genesis games.
