Sonic the Hedgehog[a] is a Japanese video game series and media franchise created by Sega. The franchise follows Sonic, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog who battles the evil Doctor Eggman, a mad scientist. The main Sonic the Hedgehog games are platformers mostly developed by Sonic Team; other games, developed by various studios, include spin-offs in the racing, fighting, party and sports genres. The franchise also incorporates printed media, animations, feature films, and merchandise.
Sega developed the first Sonic game, released in 1991 for the Sega Genesis, to compete with Nintendo's mascot Mario. Its success helped Sega become one of the leading video game companies during the fourth generation of video game consoles in the early 1990s. Sega Technical Institute developed the next three Sonic games, plus the spin-off Sonic Spinball (1993). A number of Sonic games were also developed for Sega's 8-bit consoles, the Master System and Game Gear. After a hiatus during the unsuccessful Saturn era, the first major 3D Sonic game, Sonic Adventure, was released in 1998 for the Dreamcast. Sega exited the console market and shifted to third-party development in 2001, continuing the series on Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation systems.
While Sonic games often have unique game mechanics and stories, they feature recurring elements such as the ring-based health system, level locales, and fast-paced gameplay. Games typically feature Sonic setting out to stop Eggman's schemes for world domination, and the player navigates levels that include springs, slopes, bottomless pits, and vertical loops. Later games added a large cast of characters; some, such as Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Shadow the Hedgehog, have starred in spin-offs. The franchise has crossed over with other video game franchises in games such as Mario & Sonic, Sega All-Stars, and Super Smash Bros.
Sonic the Hedgehog is Sega's flagship franchise and one of the bestselling video game franchises, selling over 140 million units by 2016 and grossing over $6 billion as of 2020. Series sales and free-to-play mobile game downloads totaled 1.14 billion as of 2020. The Genesis Sonic games have been described as representative of the culture of the 1990s and listed among the greatest of all time. Although later games, notably the 2006 series reboot, have received poor reviews, Sonic is influential in the video game industry and is frequently referenced in popular culture. The franchise is known for its fandom that produces unofficial media, such as fan art and fangames. - เกม
I think the sonic generations logo goes a bit unappreciated in terms of its certain design choices. Being a celebratory game it uses the main colors blue and yellow to evoke the similar look of the original logo. And the little pop out stars and shapes hold a lot of similarity to the that of the Japanese box art from sonic 1, 2, and 3. And the fact that they have that metallic-gold look with the logo already shows how sega was trying to create a game that truly honored sonic's history while also innovating in new ways.
facts. Probably my fave logo for a sonic game tbh
That Foces logo is very nice. I just wish we got more of that dictator propaganda imagery in the game. It feels like this logo is made of the broken promises of a better game.
Based.
Looking at the logo alone you'd think it would be an amazing game
Sega doesn't have the balls
The Shadow logo is actually a pretty sweet tattoo idea...
So many people have it as a tattoo actually, I’m thinking about it being my only tattoo
I might get that on my arm, maybe
One detail I personally love is how the logo for Sonic Unleashed, the game all about traveling Earth, has a bright parabola on the bottom part of "SONIC", while in the logo for Sonic Colors, the game set in outer space, there's a similar parabola in the _top_ part of "SONIC". Almost makes the two games feel complementary to each other.
The way i see it they represent planets. Sonic unleashed has the parabola on the lower part because you are on earth, while colours has it on the upper aprt because you are in outer space. Awesome stuff!
@@iyague That is literally what Iggyminious just said.
Can we make this a series? Next up
Ranking Sonic shoes because you're that bored
Chaomix already did that better than I ever could.
@@ChannelPup Ranking Sonic models because you're that bored, maybe?
Actually, the IDW logo is the Franchise logo specifically for Modern Sonic.

@@Bombsbombsbombs you actually felt the need to comment this 💀

I personally really like the metallic logos on Generations and Colors, it's got depth and looks more vibrant.
... Then you have the Brand logo which looks dehydrated and flat in comparison. All it's got is the lighting on the outside of the letters, give the lad something to eat
honestly it being bland is now a trademark although i lowkey agree
For me the 06 logo has the same appeal as the early ps3/Rami Spider-Man font.That industrial semi futuristic mid 2000s ascetic goes hard .
As someone who's crazy about the visual design of Sonic logos, its like this video was MADE for me LOL always loved the design of the logos, how they fit the game itself and its themes, and how each logo maintains a consistent sonic-y design
Great stuff!
also if you ever need good PNGs of the logos, i have an entire folder of them haha
The Sonic Colors logo looks like something you’d find on a gummy packet
18:27 The Japanese logo for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (or Sonic the Movie: Sonic VS Knuckles as it's known in Japan) has a fist in the Knuckles.
as a dog, I do appreciate that part about the food WHOOF
I'd actually love to see you make a video on Sonic box arts.
Sonic Rush has a nice simplicity to its logo. The background shapes behind the letters evoke a feeling of velocity, and the blue and purple colour aligned like that works well.
I prefer the Japanese logo for the second movie AKA "Sonic vs Knuckles", since it includes icons for all three main characters.
If you want bottom of the barrel then rank all the grass textures from each game.
I kind of like the adventure 1 logo, although its not the best I do like it though. The waterish texture inside the rock is a nice little reference to chaos.
love a bit of sonic cartridge
As a Graphic Design Student, here are my thoughts on each Logo:
1) The classic Sonic logo. It alright. I like how the counters in the word Sonic are at a diagonal slant, It gives the logo a bit of character and a sense of forward direction. I like the color combinations as well, the colors of red, yellow, and blue pair nicely together. The blue and red being Sonic's colors and the yellow being rings, makes the color choice feel meaningful. I just wish they did something more interesting with the text "the Hedgehog". 7/10
2) Sonic CD logo. I have the same compliments about before regarding the word Sonic. This time they simplified it a bit and I think that was for the better. The CD is nice in the fact that it's in the same fount and style as the world Sonic, but I question the choice of the color green. It's not bad, I'm just not sure why green. When it comes to logos everything including color needs to have a purpose. 6/10
3) Sonic 3 and Knuckles logo. It has all the positive of the first one. The inverting of the usual color scheme where this time the blue is on the outside is a nice touch. It makes it look new while still having that familiarity to it. The placement of the text is also really good, it doesn't feel too crowded or too distant from each other. My only issue is that the and Knuckles part looks tacted on, but I understand why they did that. 7/10
4) SA1 logo. I like this one a lot. My main issues is that all the textures on it make it look a bit too busy, witch hurts it's scale ability. Scale ability is very important when it comes to logos. The sky blue with the brownish color pair well together and really makes you think of outdoors and by proxy Adventure. 8/10
5) SA2 logo. I'm bias when it comes to this one. I just like it so much. The duel sides to it, the hint of space in the text, the jaggedness of it, it's all just so cool looking. 100/10
6) Sonic Heroes logo. The three circles behind the text are a nice addition to the logo and act as a foreshadowing to the game play style. The texture in the text is a nice simplify version of the sky, and also mach the visual style of the game. 7/10
7) Shadow The Hedgehog logo. I am also bias twords this one. The swirl thingy makes for a really nice logo for the character Shadow. It's cool looking and distinctive. The fount they choose is a nice departure from the one they use for Sonic, and I feel like it matches Shadow's personally really well. 20/10
8) Sonic 06 logo. I don't like this one. The italic geometric fount they used for the words "the Hedgehog" make it look like Sonic is some military agent. The color scheme while being nice, only add to the military feel. Sonic shouldn't have a military feel in my opinion because Sonic isn't a military kind of person, nor dose he work for the military in that game. 3/10
9) Sonic and the Secret Rings logo. I like it. It really has that story book feel to it. The fount they used for the text "and the Secret Rings" has an ancent feel to it, while almost looking handwritten. The color combination of Gold and Silver gives a feeling of treasure to it. The fire on the O of Sonic is also a nice touch, both foreshadowing events in the game, but also adding a bit of visual interest to the logo. 8/10
10) Unleashed logo. Solid design. The colors are nice, and the slash through the logo nods to the warehog. 8/10
11) Black Knights logo. Extra solid. The medieval look to it and the sword, all convey what kind of game this is. And the colors only add to it. 8/10
12) Colors logo. It ok. Kind of generic, but fits the game well enough. I like how the Europe version is slightly different. 6/10
13) Generations logo. Pretty basic. The graphics behind the words are nice. The text is meh. 5/10
14) Lost world logo. As much as I despise this game, I have to admit the logo is really good. The effect they put into the text adds a lot of character to the design. Sold 8/10
15) boom logo. It kinda annoys me, but it's not that bad. 6/10
16) Mania logo. It nice. The style to it gives a sense of fun to it. 7/10
17) Forces logo. It cool. Reminds me of some of those old military ads. 8/10
18) Sonic movie logos. An interesting departure from the usual fount they use for Sonic's name, and it's still reminiscent of it. I like what they were attempting to do with it. 8/10
19) IDW Sonic logo. Honestly this is what I think of when I think of Sonic's logo. 9/10
20) origins logo. It screens classic Sonic. 8/10
21) Frontiers logo. Nice and symple. 7/10
22) Prime logo. I see what they were trying to do with it, but the two words don't look like they fit together and all the effects on it are a little too much.
I wouldn't have thought about that kind of thing. lol. Nice
Wait i swear to God Almighty Themself, on the poll preceding this video I thought you said you’d rank Sonic LEGOS
It must be so confusing to people who haven't seen sunset city to watch anything from pup or that pup had edited
Now THIS is the kind of Sonic content I love!
Remember your sonic boost fan game.
10:36 flame is common interpretation of power, which is what his type is.
12:08 Speaking of drive-thru, have you eaten at a Sonic yet?
Not yet!
5:56 to 6:11
Super Mario 64: *(visibly nervous)*
1:01 that voice sounds familiar, sounds like Naut from Mixels
Knuckles attacks in heroes has fire and tails has thundershoot
I believe that the generations and mania logos had so many geometric shapes in order to look like the Japanese box art for the classic games. I actually like them. Great video btw
I was this bored, thank you very much
2:46 23 logos. 23 of June - release date of Sonic 1. 23 logos, 23th day of June, coincidence? I THINK NOT
The Sonic & Knuckles logo doesn't make the list because it's technically an insignia? You win this round non-Classic fans.
Well, there was a reason why I picked the Forces Logo as a template. But I'd like to change it sometime, because it's a bit unoriginal.
Still can’t unseen it. Your avatar looks like it’s missing an ear … can’t stop staring haha
Channel Pup your intro music is so nice. Is there a name?
Why didn’t you rank the actual Sonic CD logo from the OG release of the game? The 2011 version is literally just the words “SONIC CD”; I’d hardly consider it a replacement. In fact I wish you looked at the regional differences for all of the classics. I’m quite fond of the more understated style they went with in Japan.
19:51 the beginning of Undefeatable started playing
18:42 That logo is missing a letter! *laughs in PAL region*
Edit: Oh. You beat me to it. Dangit.
CD means "Chrono Distortion"
4:20 So do I, it’s in my top 5 Sonic games. But the story though 😬😬
Honestly, I really don't like the spikes in the C for the movie logo.
How much would it take for you to rank every song (vocal tracks and level music) in every Sonic game?
That'd be the $300 patreon goal lmfao.
@@ChannelPup So you're saying there's a chance!
@@mistersp3753 If LS Mark can review every Simpsons episode, I can probably at least review every Sonic track. Can't guarantee a ranking...unless we are to turn that $300 goal into $500. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@ChannelPup More like LoSer Mark, amIrite.
I think vocal and instrumental tracks should be ranked separately. A congested list doesn't help anyone.
The heroes logo represent the character types elements... Speed = Wind (which at the time sonic had wind powers and speed characters had wind based attacks)
Power = Fire (all the power characters had firery attacks)
Flying = lightning (All flying type characters shock enemies)
My favorite is probably the Frontiers logo
Ayy that's a pretty sweet thumbnail!!!
13:01 Thats an earlier version of the Prime logo, the newer one in the trailer has thinner and shinier subtext
Why yes I am that bored that I would watch a video like this how did you know?
‘’Sonic X has left the chat’’
*I'm* the bored one!? I'll have *you* know that- oh, what the hell. You're right.
The movie one looks like the best to me because the c looks like sonics hair I think
Sonic adventure logo has an story within logo itself, you people are jist crazy if you looking only in that texture strokes. I kind of wish frontiers would have this representation of place in logo, so you could see that game is about amazing places to be seen and not that virtual reality portal instead
What game is that at 0:10?
If you look at the entire shape of the quills on the SA2 logo, its the exact shape rolled up sonic has
How did you get 23 mins of this thing lol?
I would eat the Sonic trix cereal
I clicked off on the first one. I’m sorry, but if the Sonic Adventure logo is in last place then I’m not sticking around.
I really like the design of it and in my opinion it’s the most unique as it gives you that adventure-esque feel when opening up the game with the dirt like border and the tropical and stormy textures on the words.
I think those were dogs getting cooked up...
I didnt expect the racist jokes, neither the part about eating Sonic Colors logo, but hey, I didnt expect the video at all, so hey hey, here we are
This is very off topic nut isn’t it crazy how forces hurt the fanbase so bad that giving it any props feels like blasphemy 😂
The "IDW" logo is actually the franchise's logo
Honestly I would make this video too
Hold on what happened to channel pup red, blue and green?
They are now called channel pup, pup's picture show and pup arcade I don't know why.
How do you want Spider-Man’s story to continue in the MCU I think a street level trilogy is next
Ngl I did some stuff like this with sonic logos
I think sonic adventure 1's logo should have been ranked higher like 11th
Lol i disagree! But thanks for the content. I like chill vids like this.
Frontiers is honestly my least favorite logo so far, just barely any color or pizazz. And I feel like a lot of others are judged too harshly like the Generations, Lost World, or Boom logos, and it's a shame that stuff like Sonic R, Sonic The Fighters, and Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing are left out cuz those have some neat logos too.
Don't like Trix? You mustn't be a kid then anymore.
SONIC PRIME AND FRONTIERS ARE NOT GOOD BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CENTERED AND NOT EVEN PUT ON THE RIGHT or LEFT, they are aligned on nothing
I hate way the letter H looks in Heroes
8:22 I disagree. Look at the reflection of the sonic logo 😉
ringy wingies
19:27 this is why uk sonic colours is way better
Honestly, Sonic Adventure's logo would be perfect if the border was just black or white instead :(
lmao don't change that title
Pup out here taken Inspiration from LS Mar... Splash Dash
Also I really don't like the critiques on certain logos I feel like how you described doesn't make sense lol. Maybe I just disagree with your critiques but ysah
🌭🦔🥚🦊🔨🥊
What!
Sonic forces no.1
Sonic adventure no. 23
Why?
Adventure logo slander☠️
Sonic forces is a good game
You just like sonic adventure 2 game not the logo i get it
Forgot sonic x
Dunno I actually like sonic adventure logo
8:40 regions has literally nothing to do with race what…
Channel Pup really trying to get cancelled out here with all these “jokes”🤣🤣🤣
Is Sonic CD a dumber name than Sonic Advance or Super Mario 64?
Yes.
Worst takes ever but I respect it👍
But uhhhhhh, Trix are for kids!!!!
I can see why now. 😂
WHERES SONIC X!!!!!
I subscribed for gramps, not you.
8:41 is not racist is xenophobic
Sonc
smh, you include all of these logos, and exclude the best ones because they'd sweep everything else here, especially the box logo for Sonic and Knuckles
E
Sonic lost world is a good game and the logo is good why you hate it so much for no reason
It’s literally just a spiky shadow
Sonic cd logo is way worse
And sonic and the secret rings
And way more
Also sonic Forces
Hi I'm the 1st
L vid ngl
Racist? Nothing wrong with being ethnocentric.
