Background
Natsume Inc. was originally the American subsidiary of the Japanese Natsume, but starting in 1995, it became an independent company from the original Natsume, keeping the 1990-1998 Japanese Natsume logo. In 2013, the company had set up its division Natsume Inc. Japan to handle localization of Japanese games.
Logo (July 1992-)
Visuals: On a white, black, or a customized background, there is a purple box with the post-1990 Natsume logo inside. Below it is the text "Serious Fun".

- On Action in New York, the logo is paired with the Infogrames logo.
- An earlier version of the logo exists where the slogan is absent.
- On Ohimesama Debut for Nintendo DS, the logo is superimposed onto the staff credits.
