Viz Media

1st Logo (September 6, 2005-May 5, 2015)

• 
• 
  "TM" symbol
• 
  Still variant

Visuals: On a black background, there is a crimson-colored square with rounded corners and an outline in it. Suddenly, a black stylized "V" flies out and lands on the square, making it spin. Then, a "Z" flies on it, making it spin faster. When the square rests, a white dot falls in the middle of the square and bounces up to reveal an "i", forming "ViZ". "media" fades in below "ViZ".

Variants:

• A still variant exists.
• On the still variant and later releases, there is a "TM" symbol near the top right corner of the logo. For the latter, it fades in after the logo forms.

Technique: CGI by Christine Hermsmeyer at Herms Terms Studios.

Audio: A Japanese-styled flute sounder, complete with percussion. Sometimes, it is the closing theme of the show, or silence.

Availability Notes: Outside of home video releases, it can be seen on products that Viz Media was directly involved with, such as YouTube uploads of Sailor Moon in a subtitled form.

2nd Logo (July 14, 2015-January 8, 2019)

• 

Visuals: On a white background, there is a crimson-colored box, only this time it's not rounded and there's no outline. The box is actually just the letters stacked on top of each other. The "V" and "Z" move away on the opposite sides, revealing the word "ViZ". The logo then zooms out and a red ball moves downward, from the "i". As the red ball bounces, the black letters of the word "media" bounce, letter by letter. When the word "media" is complete, the red dot flies up around the word, rests on top of the "i". From there, a black dot moves until it rests atop the red "i".

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A different Japanese-styled flute sounder than the one from the previous logo, still complete with percussion.

Availability Notes:

• Streaming prints (i.e. Hulu) of Sailor Moon retain this logo, as they are sourced from the boxset.
• It also shows up on other anime that Viz Media has licensed, such as Tiger & Bunny on Netflix.

3rd Logo (March 19, 2019-)

• 

Visuals: On a white background, blocks can be seen with several black-and-white manga pages all over them (they also differ, like with pages from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), which zoom out. As they zoom out, they reveal to be the "VIZ" letters from before, but thicker and without the dot. The pages then move around, with the logo zooming and rotating into full view, as color sets appear, before the whole logo gets covered in a red substance. A "heartbeat" then ensues, turning the logo 2D and making the background pure white.

Variants:

• A version exists where the logo just slowly zooms in.
• A fullscreen version exists, which is seen on their licensed shows that were produced in the aspect ratio, such as Pluto TV prints of Sailor Moon.
• A 30fps version exists.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A slow synth plays at first, before a "THUD" plays with a small sparkle.
