Capcom

Capcom is a Japanese video game, manga and anime development studio located in Osaka, Japan.
Capcom's predecessor, I.R.M. Corporation, was founded on May 30, 1979 by Kenzo Tsujimoto. Tsujimoto was still president of Irem Corporation when he founded I.R.M. Tsujimoto worked concomitantly in both companies until leaving the former in 1983.
Capcom was created on June 15, 1983 following the privatization of Japan Capsule Computers by Kenzo Tsujimoto starting as a sales company for Sambi and then delying into video games a year later.
Among its most famous sagas are Street Fighter, Mega Man, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Ace Attorney and the saga Marvel vs. Capcom, a series of fighting games co-starring Marvel Comics characters. They also host their own eSports championships.

Capcom was named after Tsujimoto's short-lived company Japan Capsule Computers. Its first logo has the name written in ITC Korinna Extra Bold typeface with (or sometimes without) a rectangular border surrounding it. The color of the logo varied in its early years.

=====1985–1994=====
In 1985, the wordmark was slightly redrawn to its current form (albeit with the bottom of the C's aligned to the rest of the letters, except for the O) and colored white. Also, the rectangle gained a red color. This logo was used in tandem with the previous one and the next one until 1994.
=====1989–present=====
The rectangle was dropped in favor of a blue border with its gaps filled in while the wordmark became yellow and the C's were slightly moved downward.
