[[Sega]] created the '''Sega Sports''' brand in 1993 to publish numerous sports and racing games, mainly for its own platforms (Genesis, Game Gear and Saturn, and later the Dreamcast). When Sega decided to partner with [[ESPN]] in 2002, the brand was renamed to '''ESPN Videogames''' in 2003. Later in 2005, Sega sold [[Visual Concepts]] (the primary developer of the brand), Kush Games, the ''2K'' IP and several sport licenses to [[Take-Two Interactive]] and the label was renamed to '''2K Sports'''. |

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the original Sega Sports logo appears. It consists of the word "{{color|blue|SEGA}}" in a blocky font above a {{color|blue}} rectangle. Inside the rectangle is the word "SPORTS" written in white and in spaced-out letters. The whole symbol is outlined in {{color|red}}. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Variants:''' |
|
|
*Sometimes, the word "PRESENTS" is shown below the logo. |
|
|

|
|
*On the Saturn version of ''NHL All-Star Hockey'', the logo is on a hockey field. |
|
|
*On ''NBA Action'' for Saturn, the 3D logo lies on a basketball field. A basketball then slams and the ball takes up the entire screen, segueing into the [[Gray Matter]] logo. |
|
|
*On ''NFL 97'' and ''NBA Action 98'' for Saturn, an animated version exists where the outlines form the logo pieces, with sports players, which morph into the "SPORTS" letters and the white outline fades in. On the latter, it has a trademark symbol, where the latter doesn't. |
|
|
*On ''Prize Fighter'', the logo is on a wallpaper of the Sega logos on a {{color|blue}} background. |
|
|
*On ''NHL All-Star Hockey'' for Genesis, the logo starts off {{color|teal}}, then a hockey puck hits the logo, turning it into its normal colors. |
|
|
*On ''NFL's Greatest: San Francisco vs. Dallas: 1978-1993'' for Sega CD, the logo is on a white background, after a football clip plays. |

|
|
*On ''Striker'' for Game Gear and Genesis, the logo is in a different font, and is in 3D. |
|

'''Logo:''' Against a black background with a {{color|blue}} light through it, several giant letters (ostensibly "SEGA SPORTS") rapidly fly, massively close up to the camera to the point of obscurity, then fly in the same way downward. After this, "SEGA" in a giant metal font, looking nothing whatsoever like the signature logo, spins out from the center of the camera. An oblong {{color|blue}} bar (resembling [[Nintendo]]'s logo in shape) swings below it as "SPORTS" in the same font in white appears on the bar. The background dilutes {{color|blue}} light as more particles fly past it, including more copies of "SEGA SPORTS" and a pair of black parentheses extends from the main logo. The light dies off and the background is black again, and the bar shines once as "TM" in white appears next to it. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Variants:''' |
|
|
*A still version exists on a white or black background. |
|
|
*Starting in 2002, the "SPORTS" words appear larger, and "TM" is placed below the "A" in "SEGA" in small letters. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Technique:''' The letters flying, the logo zooming out, the bar swinging, the background, and the shining. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Music/Sounds:''' Several metallic screeches. The 2002 variant has the sounds fading in a bit later and arranged differently. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Availability:''' Common. Appeared on ''NBA'', ''NHL'', ''World Series Baseball'' and ''NFL'' games under the label from 1999-2003. |

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a {{color|red}} light appears, bringing in squares that contain video walls of ESPN footage.

The logo shines and the light then dies down. |

|
'''Technique:''' The clips moving, the ESPN logo forming. |
|
|
|
|
