Sega (Argentina)

(1990's?)

Nicknames: "The Sega Knockoff", "Cheesy Sega" "Sonic's #1 Hated Logo"

Logo: We see a black and white CGI video of the camera traveling various shapes (mostly spherical). This is obscured by a starfield with the words "SEGA" taking place in between the stars, and, at the center, we see various lines in clockwise position and the even bigger "SEGA" with "PRESENTA" (Presents in Spanish, and in computerized text) below. The camera moves faster as it encounters an unknown object before the logo cuts.

FX/SFX: Aside from the CGI video, there's no other animation put into the logo...

Cheesy Factor: ...and that, accompanied by the other stuff, makes it way off the charts. What's more is the name is just copied from a known video game brand, the overall design concept is just tough for the eyes, and it was chyroned in into the CGI background--more points for the logo's overall cheesiness. Also, it's black and white, looking like it was from the 50's, the 60's or the 70's.

Music/Sounds: A long windy/whoosh sound.

Availability: Ultra rare. Being a weird home video brand from Argentina with an easily confuse-ablename requires some advanced searching.

Scare Factor: Low to high, bordering on nightmare. The weird nature of the logo, along with the round shapes moving toward the viewer and the whooshes can unnerve people, especially seeing it for the first time. However, this logo just screams more cheesy than scary, and some would probably laugh at the name theft.

Final Note: This company has NOTHING to do with the Japanese video game developer company of the same name.
