Logo Captures by CuriousGeorge60

(1998-2006)


Logo: On a black background, the numbers "9", "8" and "9" along with two half-circle lines and the word "SPORTS" come down, then the "TM" symbol comes up fast from the right to finish the logo and makes it shine.

Variant: Starting in 2002, the logo was modified with "SPORTS" being bigger. Plus, a "R" symbol appears instead of the ''TM" symbol and is next to "SPORTS".

FX: The logo forming together and the "TM" symbol moving fast to right to finish the logo.

Music/Sounds: Some type of rock-like music with crowd cheering, which is heard before the animation starts, along with the announcer saying "9-8-9 Sports", then a metal bang is heard. On some games, if you listen VERY closely, you can hear the last note from the PlayStation boot screen's music as well.

Availability: Seen on Playstation sports video games, such as NFL Gameday series, NBA Shootout series, NHL Faceoff series, and other sports games.

Scare Factor: None; it may be a favorite to some.
