Background

On October 5, 2020, NBCUniversal Television Distribution was renamed to NBCUniversal Syndication Studios, in an effort to drop "Television" from its branding and in order to increase its streaming focus.

(March 1, 2021-)

Logo: On a white background, we zoom out as many purple dust-like particles sweep to the right, forming the current NBCUniversal logo as they pass by. Below, "SYNDICATION STUDIOS" in a Rock Sans font is formed with a line separating it from the NBCU logo. The purple particles can be seen moving around the logo after it finishes forming, and soon disappear.

Trivia: This logo was designed by Joseph Kiely and animated at Vivid Zero, a subsidiary of Smith Geiger Fathom.

Other concepts conceived before the final product include the NBC Peacock colors instead of purple, and a different design using the arc from the Universal logo. Those stills can be seen here.

Variant: An extended version was made where it starts on a close-up shot of the dust/particles forming the "NBC" portion, then it cuts to a close-up of the "Universal" section being formed the same way as it pans toward the left, followed by a close-up of the first few letters of "SYNDICATION" and the line above it also being formed by the dust/particles. The animation then continues as normal, right as the logo reaches its position. This version can be seen in the above link.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 2004 and 2011 NBCUniversal Television Distribution logos. The aforementioned long version is silent.

Availability: Brand new.

First seen on the March 1, 2021 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Maury and The Steve Wilkos Show in local syndication, as well as Freeform reruns of The Office studio in the future.
The extended version has not been used on any shows and can be seen on Vivid Zero's website.
