1st Logo (1991-2005)

Logo: On a cloudy background, the text "THE RIGHT STUF INTERNATIONAL INC." is seen taking up much of the screen in a stacked formation. "RIGHT STUF" is bordered by 2 thin lines above and below it, and is much larger than the rest of the text, with "INC." being much smaller. A TM symbol is also seen in the upper right corner.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: A calm theme with a jangling guitar and synthesized string section, ending with a rising synth sound and one final note. It almost sounds like the New World Television music.

Availability: Rare. It can be seen on several anime tapes and DVDs around that period, like on Comic Party, Leda: The Fantastic Adventure of Yohko, among others.

2nd Logo (2005- )

Logo: On a black background, a fiery yellow spark draws out the text "RightStuf", with the "f" in "Stuf" being semi-enclosed inside a stylized exclamation mark.

Variant: Beginning in the 2010s, the logo was changed to match RightStuf's current logo, consisting of a circle with a translucent slanted exclamation mark inside of it, and "RightStuf" on the right. All of the logo is in red.

Technique: Computer particle effects.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on current releases from the company, proceeding the Nozomi Entertainment logo on said label's releases.
