Amen.
During that Genesis/SNES era, I'd say Konami was the studio that consistently made the best games. I don't think I played a bad game. Castlevanias, Contras, TMNT, Cybernator, Axelay. All good.

I'm not an unbiased source because I'm a Capcom mega-fan, but, yeah... During their arcade days their logos were
Any Arcade logo basically

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
The OST is something else. Glad they went with Sonic Mayhem instead of Trent, their music fit the new setting much better.The first PC game I bought and played on my first hand built PC. God what a game.

While I still prefer Capcom, you're absolutely right, during the 16-bit era Konami was firing on all cylinders. And, I know it gets a lot of hate from purists, but even the SNES version of Rondo of Blood is awesome.
I would say the ONE game of theirs that has never quite really grabbed me is Tournament Fighters (the Ninja Turtles fighting game). I still own it to this day, and as recently as 3 days ago, I popped it back in to my SNES, and thought to myself, "nope, even after 15+ years, I still can't get into this game"

I would had said Capcom too, but there's one stinker I got burned on for $90 which I thought was shit. Strider (Genesis). Every mag gave this game 9s and 10s. I thought it was total junk. 8 meg of crap.While I still prefer Capcom, you're absolutely right, during the 16-bit era Konami was firing on all cylinders.

But SFII SNES is amazing. That Capcom game and Konami's Contra 3 and Axelay were my fav 16 bit games from them.
(As an unrelated side note, as crazy as it seems one of my fav 16 bit era games was Aerobiz!)

I'm not going to respect someone who posts sales numbers confirming the PlayStation branded consoles has the most sold single console of all time (PlayStation 2) - and they have four total consoles in the top 10 console sales of all time, and yet the person posting this still thinks that Sony (PlayStation) isn't at the top of the food chain. Again, if your mother doesn't know who PlayStation is that's not a logo's fault. Educate yourself, kid.

This isn't a Sony vs Nintendo fight, and that's what you don't seem to understand. Saying "top of the food chain" doesn't mean that you're literally the number one and can't be beaten. Sharks are at the top of the food chain. One type of shark can lose a fight to another type of shark, but they're both at the top of the food chain. You're just upset because I didn't defend your favorite plastic toy.

A lot of my favorites have already been posted. Personally, I've always preferred MGS1's title design over the more minimal, but also solid, title design of MGS2 onward.
The MGS4 title design is a nice amalgamation of both design imo
Love much of the graphic design work coming out of Kojima Productions in general.

Sega knew what they were doing. The second they added these to their Genesis sports, they got really good.
Slowest logo reveal ever!

You beat me to Rare. Simple, and you always knew you were in for a good time.

Falcom pretty much only has two series at this point. Ys and Legend of Heroes. Those are from LoH.

I’m a logo/brand designer for more than 10 years, and I’m always fascinated by logos like Moon Studios, Mafia 2, Nightdive, BitKid, Resistance 3, Evolve, etc
The fact that the top of the G extends out when it becomes solid always bothered me

Treasure, baby! One of the most underrated game devs and one of my favorites of all time alongside Alphadream and Rare.
Those logos represent everything they stand fore. Badass, Hard games with really impressive graphics that pushed console limitations and are guaranteed to bring a good time.
Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Alien Soldier, Mischief Makers, Sin & Punishment, Sillhouette Mirage, Bangai-O, Rakugaki Showtime, Guardian Heroes, Astroboy: Omega Factor, Yu Yu Hakusho: Sunset Fighters, Wario World, Bleach DS...
HELL! You could give them motherfuckin' Ronald McDonald and they could make a great game out of it.
Sorry for gushing, but I really miss them... Also:
Capcom's SNES jingle is superb, one of my favorites.
Obligatory SEGA logo too, though I loved how every game had their own unique animation for the SEGA logo, there's literally an hour long compilation of it:
Here's a much more modern one, the DS startup gives me so much comfort.
And the PS2 startup creeped out many but it personally gave me nostalgia for all the evenings I spent playing Sly Cooper:

Always loved the Crash logos. Very creative.
Fits the vibe of the games, too.
