[23] Rosen said he insisted on the name as he disliked "Mega Drive" and wanted to represent "a new beginning" for Sega. [25] Sato said some design elements changed, such as the gold-colored "16-bit" wording, because it was believed that the color would be mistaken for yellow. He believes that the changes in design are representative of the differences in values between Japanese and American culture.
