What's crazy is that I have thought it is timeless like many others, but seeing the copyright date and looking at the logo again, it is SO 70s.

According to Wikipedia, they were in the slot machine business at that time.Also blown away that Service Games was around in 1945...what kinda games were they even making? Competitors to Nintendo in the playing card biz?

Yes, very odd start.
Basically an American company in Hawaii selling slot machines to US army. After being outlawed in 1945, after the war they setup in Tokyo for US bases in Japan and gradually it became Sega that we know today.
Thanks batfactsNot only was SEGA founded as an American company, but they were also responsible for importing some of the first Nintendo games to hit the states such as the 1976 version of Wild Gunman.
Gaming history is fun.
Sega, Atari, and Nintendo have perfect logos

The Sega logo along with Nintendo are undoubtedly the most iconic logos in gaming. What was futuristic at the time ended up being timeless decades later. As others said, I hope Sega never changes their logo.

Some cool info here on the Sega logo, including the fact that they're two different official shades for the Japan and international markets, with Japan's being lighter
