San Diego Studio was established in 2001 by Sony Interactive Entertainment best known for being behind the massively popular video game series "MLB: The Show".

1st logo (October 2, 2007)
Logo: On a black background, a 3D grid of blue blocks appears with one row rising and growing in brightness, simulating waves. The screen rotates to where the grid faces the screen. Shortly before the camera stops moving, the blue blocks transform into a picture of a beach with palm trees during sunset. Then "SAN DIEGOSTUDIOS" fades in with a rough, water-like bar underneath and an orange color filled underneath the "O".

FX/SFX: 3D animation of the blocks rising, the camera moving, and the blocks transforming.

Variants:
 * On ModNation Racers the racer begins to startup his racer then it jumps in a blue foor with black screen and begins to accelerate. When it does so the blue wave appears with another racer riding outside the blue wave with another racer rides in it forming the same rounded shape with the words "SAN DIEGO STUDIO" fades in.
 * On Sports Champions and it's sequel Sports Champions 2 the PlayStation Move motion controller is seen. Then it acts like a table tennis rack in a purple color hitting a ball with green light showing the logo within in a 3D room.
