Panzer Dragoon-Inspired "Bat Galaxy" Kickstarter is Launching Soon

Zoom into a high octane world where you'll weave through billions of bullets and use your handy punch feature to send enemies flying.
Mao and Kou, two fighter pilot trainees, are unavoidably thrust into a mission that only they can complete. They'll charge through linear stages with hordes of enemies surrounding them, explore colorful and mystically beautiful ancient worlds for technology and power-ups, and take on massive bosses built by a society their world forgot.

It is their franchise. They have to put their name in it so that any potential brand licensing partner who wanted to make merchs or t-shirts knows whose franchise it belong.

Yeah, but I don't recall their big blue SEGA logo first and foremost in Alex Kidd DX, Streets of Rage 4 or The House of the Dead: Remake. It's "there" games, but no direct credit.

No direct credit? Check them out again, the copyright logo are their credits and they do show up in the title screens.

Streets of Rage 4 :



Bayonetta 2 :



The House of the Dead: Remake :



They also showed up again in end credits but I'm too lazy to screenshot them.

If you can barely see the logo.


But why not the iconic "SEGA" opening-logo? Or the very least the "SEGA Eye" logo.

Because they weren't the publisher.
You don't see Nintendo logo here too in Mario and Sonic Olympic series, guess whose logo came up :

As far as I recall, Nintendo don't do opening logos. If they have, I must have forgotten it. Not as iconic as Sega.

Yeah, they're rarely using it now since they've already showed Game Console logo everytime we started the console (what's the point of showing your logo twice), but some games that were developed by second party company's (not Nintendo's internal team) usually put Nintendo logo before or together with their company logo like this :

Well, the "SEGA" jingle is still iconic. I kinda wish the renaissance games had it.

Yes, that two-note chime (Eb Major and C Major)'s the most memorable video game company opening logo ever.
Though most of gamers remembers it from Mega Drive, it was already used way before in the television ads starting in 1983 to promote the SG-1000 (Japanese version of Master System).

I remember it for both Master System and Mega Drive and wish they continued using it more. The eye-logo is alright, but I don't like the sudden "bzzzOOOOMPH" sound. It's rather jarring.

Blame Nagoshi for that new logo, he's the one who came up with it. But the man himself and his new company is now kinda in not a good state so I guess may be next time for that.

Well, it's Iizuka's decision to keep the current logo or not. But I think the classic "SAY-GAAAAAH" is regarded classic for good reason.

SEGA's opening/end logo's not Iizuka's decision, he isn't SEGA CCO/CEO/COO.
If it's Sonic Team logo's then yes.
So the decision for still using the eye logo still goes to Haruki Satomi, Shuji Utsumi, or Yukio Sugino (Nagoshi was CCO before he departed from SEGA).
But if it were me, I'd go back to the "SAY-GAAAAAH" classic.
