Editions by mr3urious
Logo captures by mr3urious
1st Logo
(1992-1993/1993-1994) (MK1, North American/PAL Version)
Note: This sequence only appeared on MK1 Mega CD/Sega CD consoles.
Logo: On a background of space with Earth in the corner of the screen (The Mega CD version appears brighter than the Sega CD version), the Sega logo and either the Sega CD logo (a blue rectangle with the animated rainbow-colored text "SEGA CD" with "CD" arranged to look like a compact disc) or the Mega CD logo ("MEGA-CD" in a swirly green/silver futuristic font, whose colors also animate) appear and animate in various ways for approx. 4 minutes. The top right corner of the screen contains a copyright date, reading "(C) (year) SEGA Ver. 1.xx". Below that is "Press RESET to open the CD tray.".
FX: All of the animations, which show off the add-on's scaling and rotation effects.
Music/Sounds: The Sega CD has a synth disco tune, while the Mega CD has a more dreamy synth tune.
Availability: Appears on all North American and PAL Mega/Sega CD MK1 (front-loading) add-ons.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1991-1993) (MK1, Japanese Version)
Logo: On a cloudy sky background, we see a black square with the word "MEGA" on the top left (in white), while below that, we see "C" in a blue oval, and "D" in a tan oval, seperated by four black streaks. As in the previous logo, the Sega logo is also seen, but always in the bottom-right corner, and does not animate while "Mega CD" does, for about the same length as the previous logo. The copyright date is shown in its usual place, a small Sega logo is in the bottom right corner, and below that is some Japanese text, which probably denotes the same information in logo 1.
FX: See previous.
Music/Sounds: The Mega CD's dreamy synth tune.
Availability: Appears on all Japanese MK1 Mega CD add-ons.
Scare Factor: None.
3rd Logo
(1993-1994) (MK2, PAL Version)
Logo: On a lavender background with a dark mirror on the bottom, and containing three silver spheres, a silver cone, and a gold CD, we see the Mega CD logo from before, and what also has the Sega logo on the bottom left. As in the previous two logos, they animate all over. The same copyright info (except for it using "Ver. 2.xx") is shown in its usual place, and "CHECKING DISC", in a different font, appears below for a few seconds, which is replaced by "NO DISC", "CLOSE THE CD DOOR", or "PRESS THE START BUTTON" (if a game is inserted w/ the door closed).
FX: See previous.
Music/Sounds: Again, the dreamy synth tune.
Availability: Appears on all PAL MK2 (top-loading) Mega CD add-ons.
Scare Factor: None.
4th Logo
(1993-1994) (MK2, Japanese Version)
Logo: The same background from the 3rd logo is used, but the CD is replaced with an image of Sonic in his trademark "finger wagging" pose and the word "SEGASONIC" below him. The Mega CD logo consists of a metal slab with the Mega CD logo from the PAL version in black with a large black 2 behind it. The Sega logo is shown below like in logo 3, only smaller. The same copyright info is shown at the top right, and the same Japanese info from logo 1 is shown below. The Mega CD 2 and Sega logos flip and zoom around.
FX: See previous.
Music/Sounds: The dreamy synth tune once again.
Availability: Appears on all Japanese MK2 Mega CD add-ons.
Scare Factor: None.
5th Logo
(1993-1994) (MK2, North American Version)
Logo: The same as before, except for different animations for the logos and different music. The same messages from the PAL MK2 Mega CD version appear below, as well.
FX: See previous.
Music/Sounds: A rather funky synth disco tune that is different from the MK1 version.
Availability: Appears on all North American MK2 Sega CD add-ons.
Scare Factor: None.

Victor Wondermega/JVC X'Eye
(1993-1994)
Note: The Wondermega is an all-in-one Megadrive/Genesis and Mega CD/Sega CD developed by Victor/JVC. The system is called the X'Eye in North America. This system was never released in Europe.
Logo: Against a blue/black gradient BG, the top of a large Earth-like globe with a hole in the center is shown below, which glows several different colors. "WONDERMEGA" is shown below in white futuristic letters for the Jap. version, and "JVC" (in its corporate font) "X'EYE" (in a similar futuristic font) is shown below in the N. American version. A large purple/black/white "W" or "X" is shown animating as usual. The copyright notice is the same as before in the Jap. version, but the N. American copyright notice credits JVC, as well. Some Japanese text is shown below (possibly the same as before), but "Put a Disc on the turn table" is shown below in the N. American version.
FX: See previous.
Cheesy Factor: The echo effect applied to the music.
Music/Sounds: Same as the Mega CD music, but with more of an "echo" applied to it.
Availability: Can be seen on Wondermega/X'Eye consoles, which I believe are pretty hard to find.
Scare Factor: None.
