Konami released a lot of video games including Castlevania, Metal Gear, Tiny Toon Adventures, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Twilight Scene It, Top Gun, Contra, Dance Dance Revolution, Winx Club and Double Dribble
Particularly, Konami had my attention and customer support when I knew Winning Eleven 2000: Medal He no Chousen. I had my 7 years old, I was taking out from the bath. Then my father and his friend from his company were installing the PS1 on the TV. Prontly, I've get into the videogame, and see the KONAMI Sports intro, and Jon Kabira with the "Wārudō sokka Jikkyō Winning Irebun: Nissei!" When I was on my 7, I never thought on Konami's intentions in other years. Hideki Hayakawa was the decay from Konami.
1:12 It kinda warms my heart that MAKE A JAM! from the Dance Dance Revolution series is essentially a remix of this logo. Heck, they even have the jingle at 1:16 play at the very end of the song.

@@SombraSR It was used in Winding Heat and Midnight Run. There are variations of this particular logo with different sounds used in many of Konami's late 90's arcade games (Hang Pilot, Solar Assault, Racing Jam etc..)

Such good memories spending my days I the arcade and surrounded by the jingles and music from the arcade machines. The Konami and Neo Geo logo jingles have very special place in my heart ❤️
Typical British seaside arcade starter pack: - 2p machines galore - Some ticket games and claw machines - Some driving games as well - May have the occasional motion simulator ride - This sound effect at 0:53 playing occasionally from certain Konami machines
Whenever I see 1:12 I think of the Sega Saturn version of Symphony of the Night. A port that could have been so much more had the developers not been lazy with it
Pop'n Music, Thrill Drive, PES, Winning Eleven, and Metal Gear Konami were the best at that time.... Before they turned into a Pachinko business company
I only WISH those logos used the anime tape version of the Konami jingle. but RIP GOOD Konami. The one that gave us Contra, Castlevania, Metal Gear, and many others. There's a reason Igarashi, Kojima and Yamane left; it's because Konami fell from grace. Unlike Capcom I don't see them recovering.

Konami made most of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games as well as three games for the 2003 version. In fact, Konami and Nickelodeon had remastered the 1987 games into a complication game. Cowabunga Collection.
1:24 This logo remembered hearing Joel Valentine & Hanna Barbera SFX like Jet & Explosions. 2 sounds using from Sound Designer Joel Valentine at Easter Egg sounds from Pop'n Tunes Season 2.
Konami can NEVER redeem themselves for all the horrible things they've done. But they don't care. They'll still continue to do scummy things and there's nothing that we'll be able to do about it. Their business will still go on, they'll still make money, and the fans will continue to suffer. Konami will never be the same.
At 0:30 we hear a VHS logo and the sound used in arcade games by 1998. I wonder if there’s any console games (except DDR) of the time that used the sound before they changed it to the “modern one”.
0:33 Super NES...This one, here in Brazil, everybody from this era (what a golden age of games!) automatically speaks after the sound: "International: Superstar Soccer!" (it's a must!)
My favourite intros are:
0:33 Super FC/Super NES
0:40 Sega MD/Sega GEN
0:47 PC Engine CD-ROM²/TurboGrafx-CD
Konami was good when they had their old logo
They were still good after they adopted their new logo, at least for a while. The logo they currently use first appeared during the PS2 era.
