Even in its initial existence as MTE, finding (or, for that matter, paying attention to) its logo was rare even while ''Dream On'' was on the air. On December 9, 1996, MCA was reincorporated as Universal Studios, and as a result, MTE was renamed to "Universal Television Entertainment" (a.k.a. "UTE") in 1997, and was later renamed to "Studios USA Pictures" (not to be confused with "USA Pictures") in 1998.
