eh.... i like the marvel one better

[Hellspawn28]

I like the Marvel logo as well.

The logos from Godzilla Unleashed. Not the best quality, but it's got the ones for Jet Jaguar and Krystalak.

It's odd that the Kiryu logo was used for STE, but absent on G:U. They also started using the Fire Rodan icon with G:U, when I believe it was the Showa Rodan icon that was seen on the previous games (which didn't make sense, since Fire Rodan was used for all of the Atari games).

[Hellspawn28]

I don't recall Kiryu having a icon on the STE cover. The Kiryu movies do use the same MechaGodzilla logo, does GvsMG '74 and TOMG as well.

It can only be seen with the other logos at the start up screen. It is strangely absent from the box itself. As for the DVD releases, I'm sure it's just something that slipped on part of Toho's marketing department/the people at Sony. Why make an icon if you're not even going to use it on licensed products? I just don't get it.

Toho wanted it switched to Fire Rodan for GU so Atari had to comply

[Goji]

Clearly, Toho is just random as hell when it comes to this stuff. Which explains why the Rodan icon was used for TWO games, on top of the Heisei MG icon being used for the two Kiryu films on DVD. Makes no sense.

[Hellspawn28]

The Hesei MG icon was used on the Sony DVD's for MechaGodzilla '74, and Terror of MechaGodzilla as well.

[Goji]

Yeah, that's because Toho's never bothered to make one for the Showa Mechagodzilla. It makes sense why they didn't, but it's still jarring to see the Heisei MG associated with the two 70's films.

Especially because it's so jarringly different from the other two. Doesn't look as cool either.

I'm pretty sure almost everyone here has seen the copyright icons for Toho kaiju which can be seen on the back of DVD's and other merchandising.

Does anyone here have a photo gallery showcasing all of these "kaiju icons"? And why do monsters like Krystalak have an icon but monsters like Obsidiius and the Gargantuas don't? And which icon has your favorite design? (mine's Godzilla, I like how it's influenced by the Marvel Godzilla)

Let's discuss!

Krystalak has an icon? That's news to me :0

[Dust_pan]

There are quite few things I don't understand about business. One of them is how Krystalak gets a copyright icon but Obsidius doesn't.

Do monsters like Shokirus, Gezora, Ganime, or Dogora have their own icons?

I remember that Gezora, Gamine, and Kamoebas get icons. I'm not home now so I can't look on the back of the other cases to see if Dogora and such have icons, but someone else can probably do that.

[Goji]

Krystalak has an icon? That's news to me :0

Yep. It's on the back of the Godzilla:Unleashed box (Wii version only, of course).

Dogora does in fact have an icon. I have a bunch saved on my hard drive. I'll see if I can dig them up.

[Hellspawn28]

Zilla and the American Godzilla both share the same copyright icon after FW. On the back of the G98 blu-ray cover, I remember it being the same icon but with "Godzilla" written under it for obvious reasons since the American Godzilla is still copy right under "Godzilla".

[Showa Gyaos]

Cody Himes told me that Marvel implemented the use of these icons in their Godzilla comics.
