** Title logos for each title in the main series. Up to the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI sixth entry]], he was the series' character designer. He has since handed that duty to Creator/TetsuyaNomura and has produced promotional artwork for each entry thereafter.
*** Excluding VII (only dubiously, Amano still worked on the concept sketches) and IX, all of the mainline series uses his work for the title. Nomura handles the character designs of the game, but Amano still does the artistic graphics.
** He also did ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'''s character designs, as ''FFIX'' was meant as a throwback to the first six games in the series. Ironically, however, ''FFIX'' is the only installment of the main franchise whose [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Logos_of_Final_Fantasy central logo]] was designed by someone else than Amano.
