'''Logo:''' On a black background we see a prototypical version of the Sega logo (thinner than the current one in white with Sega, a {{color|blue}} outline and with still shines on the "S" and "A"). COMPUTER SOFTWARE is beneath in the same color with "© 1989" in {{color|red}} and {{color|gold|yellow}} below. "PROGRAM LOADING..." is on the bottom of the logo in the same color as the first two texts.
 
'''Technique:''' None.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' The intro of the game or none.
 
'''Availability:''' Ultra rare. Seen on earlier games released by the company.

'''Logo:''' We see the Sega logo in its futuristic font (which is in {{color|blue|blue}} and contains many white stripes around it) on a black background. On most games, the color changes in shades of {{color|blue}}.
 
'''Variants:''' This logo has a lot of variations, but below are some variants for the regular logo:
* In its early days since until 1991, the registered trademark symbol "®" symbol was used. Starting around late 1990, the "TM" symbol replaces the registered trademark "®" symbol.
* Sometimes, the logo lacks the trademark symbol.
* On some Game Gear titles, the logo is plain {{color|blue}} and takes place on the {{color|blue}} background.
* Starting in 2017 to honor Sega Forever, this logo returned as a secondary logo for its placeholder, with the on-screen logo turning into the 1988 logo with the Sega jingle.
* There is a Sega Master System variant. The logo's individual letters slide in from from the darkness. After, the text "MASTER SYSTEM" and a copyright stamp appears.
 
'''Technique:''' 16-bit animation. Sometimes, the logo fades in and/or fades out.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' None or the opening theme of the game.
 
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
* On games produced by [[Infogrames]] (except for ''The Smurfs 2''), we hear a vocoder yell "SEEEEGAAAAA!".
* The Sega Master System variant has a rising square wave chord when the logo's letters slide in and the 8-bit Sega jingle when the text and the copyright stamp appear.
*The Sega Forever variant has the Sonic ring loss sound effect to transform the current logo back into to the 1988 logo.
 
'''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).
* 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.
* The logo can be seen in the prototype of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' on the Sega Genesis.

'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see the {{color|blue|blue}} Sega logo in its futuristic striped font. The animation varies depending on the game. Starting in 2010, the "TM" symbol is changed into the registered trademark symbol.
'''Variant:''' Like before, this has a plethora of variations, but below are some variants:
*The most famed variant shows Sonic (the company's mascot) running around forming the logo. This can also be seen on the commercials.
*On the Game Gear, the logo is in 8-bit.
*On ''Columns'' for the Sharp X1, the logo is shown shining.
*On ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'', ''Sonic and Knuckles'', ''Sonic 3 and Knuckles'' (including the ''Sonic Origins'' port of the latter) and ''Sonic Mania'', the logo just fades in. However, there are different endings for all of those games.
*On ''Sonic Mania'', the logo is slightly brighter. It is also enhanced.
'''Technique:''' Depends on the variant.
'''Music/Sounds:''' On many games, a choir singing "SEEEEEEEEGAAAAAAAA!". This particular soundbite made its first appearance on Japanese advertisements for the SG-1000 (which was Sega's first console) back in 1983.
'''Availability:''' Common. First seen on Columns for the Sharp X1, but it's best known for its appearance on the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games, including the first three games (''Sonic the Hedgehog'', ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'', and ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3''), as well as several others.
'''Legacy:''' This logo, along with the jingle, is a favorite among gamers.
