Revue Studios (first known as Revue Productions, Inc.) was founded in 1943 by MCA when they originally produced live shows. The partnership of NBC and Revue extends as far back as September 6, 1950, with the television broadcast of Armour Theatre, based on the radio show Stars Over Hollywood. The company was renamed "Revue Studios" after MCA purchased the Universal Studios lot in 1958. Then in 1962, following the acquisition of Decca Records, who owned Universal-International Pictures at the time, Revue was renamed as Universal Television.

Technique: Live action.
Audio: A dramatic 1940s-esque horn fanfare.
Availability: This has appeared for a short time on some episodes of The Adventures of Kit Carson, among a few others.
Visuals: Over a light shaded background, the logo starts with the phrase "Produced by REVUE In Hollywood". The word "REVUE" is taller than the rest of the words, and appears in a very slim, 3-dimensional state. The angle is on the right, looking downward, with a small shadow behind the letters. The words above and below are seen in a cursive font.

To the tune of the fanfare, five letters stack horizontally together, unevenly, spelling the name "revue". Then the remaining letters move away, revealing a white-outlined rounded rectangle shape (similar in shape to the Warner Bros. \\' logo). Then, the inside turns into a dark gray color under the black and gray blocks of letters, with the words "filmed in hollywood at" above the blocks, "studios" below, and "MCA-TV EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR" under the shape appearing with it. The MCA byline, underneath the logo, is usually accompanied by its own union bug, which is a small globe with the words MCA over it.
