Now that the dust has settled and we finally have nintendos logo who has the best one?

Ranking is tough for the top spot. Sega and Nintendo knocked it out of the park. But in the movie theater I’d say Segas hit harder. It’s almost reverent



Nintendo went simple router and it bangs.



PlayStation sucks ass. I really don’t get it. They have the most experience in movie production. All the characters are too recent. It’s just lame.




Sony would have won if they straight up just did a version of the ps1 boot up

 

[RagnarokIV]

Nintendo.

The others are just generic MCU style shite.

 

[Robb]

I like the SEGA one best, followed by Nintendo. The PlayStation one looks very boring and generic in comparison imo.

 

[ManaByte]

The SEGA one is awesome.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Does it actually matter when they’re crammed between 9-10 other production company splash screens before the movie starts?

F*cking hate high-budget cinema

 

[nial]

All the characters are too recent.

Of course they would be.

The issue is that 90% of the world is not aware of the diamond logo or Sony Computer/Interactive Entertainment as a whole, it's just PlayStation for them.

 

[Badlucktroll]

is there a xbox one?

 

[Audiophile]

SEGA one by a mile, actually feels like a movie ident whereas the others just feel like run of the mill game intros.

The epic music blending with the iconic SEGA cue sets the tone.

 

[nial]

is there a xbox one?

Yes.

 

[Robb]

I’m curious if Nintendo will always use this one or theme their intro based on the movie. I could see the Zelda movie using an intro with an 8-bit Link and Zelda music instead, for example.

 

[Nvzman]

I'd definitely say the SEGA one.
I remember watching the first Sonic movie on valentines day with my ex (at the time girlfriend) in an incredibly packed theater not expecting anything special. When the logo came up and I saw all of the games I grew up playing it actually was emotionally touching. Felt like a "look how we got here" moment.

Yeah I’m hoping they switch it up. That would be rad

 

[Del_X]

Nintendo. It promotes its video game roots without being pretentious “we wish we were movies” dogshit.

 

[Shin-Ra]

SEGA > NINTENDO > PS

The Sega intro’s most authentic to their real game heritage, showing their most famous mascot and a variety of real game footage.
Nintendo focuses on Mario, not a big surprise and it’s for the Mario Movie but still a bit one track and boring.
PlayStation CGify’s many of their great characters but loses all authenticity in doing so.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

No doubt.

If Sega, Sony and the comic intros were all done by the same director, I wouldnt doubt it one bit. Same shit.

Nintendo's is lame but at least totally different.

Sega's is by far the best one of the three. Really cool the put the Golden Axe character select screen right beside Sonic.

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Nintendo.... Sega.... Playstation is so generic and I dislike.... Put kat of Gravity Rush in this logo...

 

[InterMusketeer]

I like the Sega one. It's cool how you kinda hear the "Sega!" from yesteryear. Also Valkyria Chronicles is right there on screen for an extended period of time, including Selvaria and her torpedo tits.

Nintendo's is a bit too simplistic and predictable to me.

Sony's features characters and franchises I have no attachment to so the whole iconic feel it's going for falls flat.

 

[March Climber]

Sega understood the assignment.

Sega's reminds me of the early 80s/90s/2000s movie studio intros, which always felt great watch(and hear) as you booted up a classic movie, like these:

 

[Magic Carpet]

Sega, That dramatic music.

 

[Raonak]

Playstation is the best one visually.

The other two look like they just reused some "20th aniversary" clip.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I like the Nintendo and Sega intros, Playstation kind of sucks.

 

[Quasicat]

It’s really annoying. Family Guy did a bit on it which is spot on:

 

[R6Rider]

These aren't logos. But I like Nintendo's the best.

 

[Hudo]

Nintendo is alright because it evokes Nintendo. Sega and Playstation are obviously trying to ape the Marvel logo.

 

[Shakka43]

Nintendo.

The others are just generic MCU style shite.

Nintendo's is a generic Pixar style so...

 

[Diddy X]

Nintendo I guess, all three seem pretty generic.

 

[March Climber]

Nintendo's is a generic Pixar style so...

It's also like Illumination's logo which is Pixar style.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Nintendo's as shitty as Sony's.

This is much better.

 

[March Climber]

I fixed your post to be a movie edition of the Gamecube intro, so it fits the thread.

 

[thismeinteil]

Of course they would be.

The funny thing is that only 3 are really that recent (Astrobot, Aloy, and Jin.) All the others were from the PS3 era or before. That means their first games came out 11+ years ago. Ratchet's first game came out over 20 years ago.

 

[Xyphie]

Sega one lingers way too long on the game screens, especially since the average person wouldn't be able to tell what those games are, cut out everything from 0:03 to 0:10 and it would be better.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

They are all bangers. I like them all.

Think cinema huge display. True cinema 4K+ projection.

 

[SirTerry-T]

Only one of those stings has Kazama Kiryu..

 

[Three]

"Big 3"

You either take Sega out or you include Ubisoft et al

?

I mean it in a sense that the layperson going to the cinema has no idea what Nights into Dreams, Yakuza or Valkyria Chronicles is.

Gotcha. I don’t think most people seeing these movies GAS about the companies past releases, and even if the same people that made them still work there.

 

[Shin-Ra]

I miss the voiceovers on logos.

NAMCOOOO



SOUL CALIBURR.

RESIDENT EVIL / BIOHAZARD!

That was rad.

 

[NanaMiku]

Only one of those stings has Kazama Kiryu..

Reminded me the studio logo of MCU

 

[Zephyranthes]

Nintendo.

The others are just generic MCU style shite.

Well, if you're going to imitate something, imitating the most visually impressive and bombastic studio intro in the history of film isn't a bad move.

 

[Shin-Ra]

RICHARD MILLER!



TIME CRISIS!

 

[Soodanim]

I genuinely think this would be better. It's a more traditional, even both logos are shorter than other studios.

I'm really not a fan of the derivative MCU style "Show every character" thing. It was fine for MCU because that built and evolved within its own franchise, but it doesn't even work well outside of the Thanos Saga let alone for another company.

Short and sweet was always better. I know the Touchstone Cinema logo as well as any household brand out there.

Sega could do a variation of how the Sega logo would sometimes be different depending on the game. It would have more character and be more memorable than generic "Many concurrent bits of footage and zoom out".

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

It’s quite obviously sega.

Even if that wasn’t option it’s still sega

 

[IAmRei]

If only sony use their first boot video, psx one. I like them and brings lot of nostalgia. And nintendo wins my opinion of opening movie logo because they are more catchy to see and feels so gaming for me.

 

[poodaddy]

This.

I stand with Kiryu. Sega all day.

 

[AJUMP23]

Great logo, DOA.

Also it is a rectangle.
