Top Japan, Bottom western.

Confirmed: Sega's logo is a different shade of blue in Japan vs. the west
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
This has been known since literally the 80's
The western SEGA logo is specifically Cobalt. Sonic is the same color. In the prereleased versions of Sonic 1, Sonic was sky blue, to match the JPN Sega logo.

One after the other. O_o I knew Sonic was meant to be the same/similar color to the Sega logo, but not THIS specific! O_o
they see colors differently over there. ask about the whole blue-green light thing.
I didn't know this so it's news to me. Really interesting discovery that I'm curious to understand why.
Damn look at this guy low key bragging about Resetera Gold's Gold filter
I think its a joke about the old blue/black or white/gold dress that threw the internet into a tissy fit
Can confirm, as a Ha-fu it's a different color depending on which eye I close.
What about in Sonic Generations? I always felt like the shade of blue for Classic Sonic in that game looked a little off but maybe I'm wrong.
I'm looking at the cover as well as images of Sonic Generations and it seems like Classic Sonic's blue is closer to the Japanese logo than the Western one. I'm not at my desktop at the moment, so I can't post images show this.
Guys did you know that the Dreamcast logo is in fact a different colour between Japan version and European ?
Use GIMP or Photoshop to compare if you don't believe me.

The Japanese is the original. In 'merica they thought the baby blue shade was too kiddy so they changed it to a more adult, more edgy cobalt blue. It's like the happy vs angry Kirby thing.
This is not new to me, you can spot the light blue in a lot of arcade games and straight arcade ports. But I suspect lots of people were not aware.
^Whata beautiful thing to behold... I wish Arcades were still popular over here.
I wonder why the Sega arcade in Akihabara uses a darker blue color:

You should see Taito Hey! right down the block from that Club SEGA-- truly one of the best arcades in Japan.
Provably due to print differences, japan's got some fancier options for print colors and you gotta mix them again to reproduce them overseas, if the first sega announces came with a fucked up color and they didn't want people to notice they probably kept it that way so it wouldn't suddenly change from print to print ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Stayed in Akiba for a week and went to club Sega every night. Didn't know about taito hey and didn't even walk in. Still kicking myself
Oh so this is what Kamurocho is based off of in Yakuza series?I wonder why the Sega arcade in Akihabara uses a darker blue color:
no. There is a club sega in Shinjuku it is based off of. the one in Toho Theater Square.
Yes? If this was hidden in another thread i might not have learned about this and if that's what you want then you and I are done.

I compared and I can say the Dreamcast text is the same color in both countries. What the hell are you talking about?
Those red Sega arcades are all over Japan. That angle does look like the square in kamurocho but IRL that area is completely different
This is what it based off of. The shot from this angle is standing in front of the Toho cinemas.
