Everyone missed my point. Sega and Capcom are HUGE video game companies. Making a crest of them is pointless, no one will associate it with their pinball divisions. Sega = Sonic the Hedgehog. Capcom = Megaman, Street Fighter and Resident Evil. On the other hand, Williams, Bally, Gottlieb, and Stern = PINBALL
Have
Want
-The Getaway: High Speed II!! -Spider-Man -F-14 Tomcat -Guns N' Roses -Lord of the Rings -Twilight Zone
-Medieval Madness! -Indiana Jones (Williams) -Star Trek: The Next Generation -Champion Pub -Terminator 3 -Congo -Johnny Mnemonic -Tales of the Arabian Nights
I guess I'm the only one not interested in the logo, I've never cared who's name was on my machines, hell I forgot half the time, if the game plays good, sega, bally, williams, stern, Alvin G I don't care.

... I will write a few examples before others go nuts... The thing is that if you are a pinball nut, you will say what you just wrote... but for a vid-fan, he will say the following:
Williams: Defender, Joust, Stargate, Blaster... pretty much the best vids developed during the golden age of vids.
Bally/Midway: The list is VERY long... Wizard of Wor, Tron, Discs of Tron, Space Invaders...
Gottlieb/Mylstar: Reactor, Mad Planets, Q*Bert, 3 Stooges, Juno First... a respectable vid company.
Stern: Berzerk, Frenzy, Bagman, Turtles, Super Cobra, Cliff Hanger, Lost Tomb, Pooyan, The End... I would say pretty good.
Yes, granted, most DIE-HARD HARDCORE fans will say that Gottlieb, Stern, and even Bally had MANY licenced games... but regardless, they were released with those company names on the machines. Your argument would apply to a dedicated company, such as SNK, Romstar and Technos for vids, and Game Plan for pins...
