NOTE: Real logos are here.
Background: Not to be confused with Summit Entertainment, the Summit Media Group was acquired by 4Kids Productions, who later became "4Kids Entertainment" after the acquisition in 2000, currently becoming as its in-name-only subsidiary.
1st Logo
(1994-1995)
Logo: On a beige background, we see "The Summit Media Group" in black. Then a green, curved zig-zag line representing mountains draws to the left of the text.
FX/SFX: The line drawing.
Music/Sounds: A short rock tune. Availability: Extinct. Seen on the first season of Mega Man. Was also seen on Pick Your Brain.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo (1995-2002)
Logo: We see some mountains which are below the sky and above the trees. A star "draws" a green, curved, zig zag line (which is supposed to represent mountains) as "The Summit Media Group Inc." in black appears next to the line. The whole thing slowly zooms in as the background changes to rippling water with two rectangles at the top and bottom of the screen, colored blue and green, sliding in from the right.
Variants: On English-dubbed episodes of Pokémon, the part where the rippling water background is cut and then cuts to the show's logo. On the first season of Yugioh, it's the same as above, but it fades out for the Yugioh logo to appear.
FX/SFX: The star "drawing".
Cheesy Factor: Very cheap, even by 1995 standards.
Music/Sounds: None.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On RoboCop: Alpha Commando, the 1996 Orion Pictures logo theme plays over this.
- Sometimes, the ending theme of the show playing over the logo.
Availability: Rare. It was last seen on season one of Pokémon (the Indigo League) up until episode 53 on Boomerang, as well as the Pokémon videotapes. Episodes after this cut the logo and replaced it with the full animation of the 2nd 4Kids Entertainment logo. Was also seen on RoboCop: Alpha Commando and Van-Pires. Also seen on the second season of Mega Man.
Scare Factor: None.
