Took some time to disassemble the Rock n' Roller to figure out how the game deals with the controls. It is definitely possible to make a patch for Ninja/Shinobi tap.

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a Ninja Tap logo present on the original or compatible games released at that time?
I'm about to finish my 8 players game using 2 Ninja Taps and I'd like to put a logo to indicate their use.

I don't think there is one. Perhaps you can take inspiration from the original sticker to make one.

The official Ninga Tap logo was indeed present on the compatible games.
You can see it on this page, but it is not really readable.

On Twitter I was provided with a low resolution version of the logo:

I made a vectorized version:

I am waiting for confirmation from former PCCM member to know if they have high resolution version; if not I will use this one.

Never seen elsewhere. In my opinion it is Gigamix who created it. It looks like the logo is intentionally pixelated or did you zoom in on the image?

The pixelated version of the logo comes directly from the PCCM Ninja Tap driver files.
Gigamix apparently used a high-res version for the packaging of its games (I don't know if PCCM provided it).
I'm waiting for former PCCM member Hoshino for confirmation.

Does anyone have a box of Cyber Operation or Magical Labyrinth games so we can check?

PCCM member Hoshino-san validated the following pictures as official logo for Ninja TAP device:

They can be used on MSX application that support this device.

For my game Crawlers, which supports up to 2 NinjaTAP (8 joysticks), I will add the logo and a "x2", but it is not mandatory.

It seem I don't have the ritghs to add the pictures to the wiki article about PCCM Ninja Tap.

I like the version with rounded corners better on the Attachate page you linked above.
Where is the vectorized version?

I can't upload SVG file on the wiki. The vectorized image are available there: https://aoineko.org/msx/files/NinjaTAP.zip
