'''Revue Studios''' (first known as '''Revue Productions, Inc.''') was founded in 1943 by MCA when they originally produced live shows.

Then in 1962, following the acquisition of Decca Records, who owned [[Universal Pictures|Universal-International Pictures]] at the time, Revue was renamed as [[Universal Television (1963-1998)|Universal Television]]. |

To the tune of the fanfare, five letters stack horizontally together, unevenly, spelling the name "{{Font|Franklin Gothic|'''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 {{color|darkgray|dark gray}} color under the black and {{color|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. |

Availability:
Logo: Over a light shaded background, we see 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.
Variants:

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.
