'''Logo:''' On a blue background, we see the pre-1990s [[Universal Studios]] logo in a yellow circle with a black outline. The black outline turns red with a white outline with the text "'''THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER OF THE WORLD'''" as well as six stars (three on each side) surrounding it. The logo then fades into artwork featuring a palm tree with a "Glamor Tram" vehicle and a backlot facade along with the text "{{color|gold|When in Hollywood Visit Universal Studios}}".
Line 28 ⟶ 40:
*A widescreen version exists for films in a Scope format in which a cameraman on a platform is added to the left side of the screen.
*A rare French variant has the circle logo zoom in, then the text "UNE PRODUCTION" and "DES STUDIOS UNIVERSAL, CALIFORNIE U.S.A" and "LE RENDEZ-VOUS MONDIAL DU SPECTACLE" appears. The logo doesn't fade into the bus set here.
*On the Spanish VHS release of ''Earthquake'', the logo zooms in normally, but then stops and the text "Producita en UNIVERSAL STUDIOS California U.S.A" fades in on top of the logo. A couple seconds later, the text gets replaced with "Realizada por THE FILMAKERS GROUP".

Universal Destinations & Experiences (formerly Universal Parks & Resorts) is the theme park subsidiary of NBCUniversal. It owns and operates the Universal Studios theme parks around the world.
Logo: On a blue background, we see the pre-1990s Universal Studios logo in a yellow circle with a black outline. The black outline turns red with a white outline with the text "THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER OF THE WORLD" as well as six stars (three on each side) surrounding it. The logo then fades into artwork featuring a palm tree with a "Glamor Tram" vehicle and a backlot facade along with the text "When in Hollywood Visit Universal Studios".
Variants:
Trivia:
Technique: 2D animation.
Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme.
Availability:
Legacy: For many years, the non-Landis variants were regarded as tough to find due to their theatrical exclusivity (not to mention low-quality on most of the findings). As mentioned starting in the late 2010s and into the early 2020s, higher-quality finds have become easier; although this logo can be rather plain to begin with (though it's fine enough). The Landis variant is a funny running joke, especially for fans of that director and Animal House.
Logo: We see searchlights moving on a city skyline with the 1990s Universal Studios theme park logo in yellow and the words "Hollywood & Florida" in pink script. The outlining border shines.
Variants:
Technique: 2D animation.
Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.
Availability:
Legacy: It's decent if a bit basic advertising for the then-recently opened Florida park that did its job. How it was unexpectedly revived in 2007 is a mystery as that particular logo was long out of use. It is nice that the John Landis variant was carried over, though, even if for one film.
Logo Against a black background, the words "COME TO" fades in, then, the lens flare forms "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS THEME PARKS" with blue light rays emitting from it, as the light rays die down, the names of the locations of Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Florida "HOLLYWOOD, CA" and "ORLANDO, FL" fades in below. The words are set in the Universal Serif font.
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: The music of the commercial with whooshes.
Availability Seen on Universal Studios Home Video VHS tapes from 1997 until 1999.
Logo: On a black starry space background, the Universal globe (slightly less-detailed from the 1997 Universal Pictures logo) glows and eases back slightly as a ring revolves with "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS" above it and "THEME PARKS" below. The text shimmers while rotating and when it rests, the "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS" text shines.
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme to the program or none.
Availability:
Legacy: A much more fitting logo for the then-recent Universal rebranding of 1997. It's not quite clear why this logo was pulled from Universal films after 2007, though.
Logo: We fade into a far-right, zoomed-in shot of the 1997-inspired Universal globe and starfield, albeit with blue nebulas. A white flash brightens, which is then followed by the word "UNIVERSAL" appearing from behind the globe and circling around it. As the text moves to its center position, a golden arc segues in and rotates into the view of the camera, stopping at the bottom of "UNIVERSAL" and revealing "PARKS & RESORTS" underneath. After the camera pans out to its usual distance, the arc shines and reflects the globe and text as they both cast a shadow behind it. The URL address (also in gold) finally appears under the globe before the logo fades out. Also, some clouds are added to the globe.
Trivia:
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: No longer current, but still common.
Legacy: Considered an interesting mix of the 1997 Universal logo's aesthetics with the 1990s animation. The logo's strict use for theatrical presentations, though, dooms it to obscurity. It's also worth noting the discrepancy in branding, with the globe and text inspired by the 1997 logo being used in contrast to the 2012 one (similar to the Universal Animation Studios logo), perhaps to reflect the theme park division's logo at the time (though it has since also been changed to a 2012-esque design).
