'''Visuals:''' We zoom out from a Western Hemisphere view of a detailed globe with some clouds. As we pan out, a sunburst appears and shines in the northeastern arc of the globe. A {{color|blue|bluish}}/{{color|darkviolet|purple}} starfield with a few nebular clouds appear in the background. The white text "'''UNIVERSAL'''TELEVISION" (in a sans-serif font called "Folio" and "'''UNIVERSAL'''" in bold) without a space between and with an abstract arc above is vertically wiped in front of the Earth globe with a translucent line once we are at a comfortable distance. |

'''Visuals:''' Against a {{color|blue|bluish}} starfield background that's almost similar to the one from the previous logo with some nebular clouds, we see a much more detailed Earth globe zooming out from the front right to the center which is now rotating forward this time like the other Universal logos. As the globe reaches the center, a sunburst appears flashing on the top-right part of the globe. As this happens, the text "'''UNIVERSAL'''TELEVISION", in the same font as before with the abstract arc above it, appears rotating in from the left and making a stop in front of the globe as the sunburst dims down a bit. Some light rays are seen behind the globe and some nebular clouds are seen moving in front of the globe. The byline "A Division of NBCUniversal" appears under the logo. |
