'''Logo:''' On a black background, 3 beams of light strike the screen, forming a strange-looking "N". It glows for a second before a blue circle appears around it and "NIPPON SUNRISE INC." rises from the bottom of the screen. Several red rays then emerge from the circle, all before the circle flashes and they stop. The background then fades to white. |
|||
'''Visuals:''' On a black piece of paper, the Bandai Namco wordmark is written and drawn. Following that, the wordmark spins while multiple colored shapes come out to form the rest of the logo. After that, the speech bubble from the logo is traced before turning into red with the wordmark turning into white, thus forming the Bandai Namco Group logo. After that, the logo dashes itself to the left before revealing the company's name (Bandai Namco Filmworks) in its corporate font. |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' The lights striking the screen, the name rising. All very choppy animation. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' Something that sounds like metal waving around, ending with a futuristic gleaming sound, or none. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Seen on ''Crusher Joe'' and ''Fang Of The Sun: A Documentary/Document Dougram''. Other films will just have a in-credit notice. |

'''Logo:''' On a blue background, several orange sunbursts rotate about. A humanoid figure then "swims" up to the center of the screen, bringing up the sunbursts with it before going into a pose. The figure has a plain look to it, wearing a white headband with the Japan flag attached to it, a red cape, yellow underwear, and a cyan "N" on his chest. The figure then points to his lower left and a white laser emerges from it, scanning it across the bottom of him to reveal the credit for Nippon Sunrise. It then goes back to its original pose as the sunbursts disappear. |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' The figure swimming up, the laser. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' Only the sounds of the moving and the laser. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Seen only on ''Choro Q Dougram''. |

'''Logo:''' On a black background, an orange streak and a blue streak swirl around and meet in the middle, before retracting. This causes the screen to flash white, and a blue/orange disc flips towards the screen, one half being solid and the other being segmented. They split into an abstract "S" shape. "SUNRISE" then zooms out and settles below the logo. |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' The streaks spinning, the CGI logo forming. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' The opening theme of the movie. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Seen on the ''Mobile Suit Gundam'' movies ''Char's Counterattack'' (1988), ''F91'' (1991), and ''The Last Blitz of Zeon'' (1992). |

|||
'''Logo:''' On a space background, a translucent Sunrise logo spins away from the screen, while another drops down and sparkles come together in the middle. The 2 copies then come together as "'''''SUNRISE'''''" emerges from it, but in a different font and having a segmented dot on top. The logo then ripples, causing the background and logo to fade to their proper colors. |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' The logo forming, the ripple. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A four-note synth tune rising with every note, ending with a ding. Sometimes, there will be no sound. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on ''Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz -Special Edition'' (1998), ''Escaflowne: A Girl in Gaea'' (2000), ''Crush Gear: Kaizaban's Challenge'' (2002), and home video releases of any Sunrise anime. |

'''Logo:''' On a white background, Haro from the ''Gundam'' franchise rolls into frame and jumps in excitement. Haro then rolls towards the Sunrise logo as it revolves around and Haro flaps above the logo. It drops onto the text, causing it to ripple and bounce a bit, before the logo wipes to the print form. |
|||
''' |
'''Technique:''' CGI. |
||
*In the HD remastered version of ''Gundam SEED Special Edition'', Haro's color is pink instead of the usual green. This refers to Lacus' favorite Haro called "Pink-chan / Mr. Pink". |
|||
*In ''Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie: Over the Rainbow'', the logo changes into the English ''Love Live! Sunshine!!'' logo. |
|||
'''Audio:''' A mix of pencil drawing sound effects and futuristic sound effects. |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' CGI animation. |
|||
'''Availability:''' So far, seen on ''That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Movie: Scarlet Bond''. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' Three separate chimes or a single chime at the end for Haro bouncing. Other times, it's silent. |
|||
{{Chronology|[[Sunrise]]<br>[[Bandai Namco Arts]]}} |

'''Availability:''' Current. Debuted on ''Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation - Heirs to the Stars'' (2004). Seen on any current movie or home media releases of their anime since then, like ''Love Live! The School Idol Movie'' (2015), among others. With the renaming of Sunrise to Bandai Namco Filmworks, the days of this logo may be numbered.{{Animation-Navbox}} |
