===Background===
'''SNL Studios''' (a.k.a. '''Saturday Night Live Studios''') is a production company founded in 1997 as a joint venture between ''SNL'' creator and producer Lorne Michaels and [[NBC Studios]]. [[Paramount Pictures]] was also part of the venture, but their part was dissolved in 2004 when NBC merged with [[Universal Pictures]] to form NBCUniversal. SNL Studios has produced ''Saturday Night Live'' in association with [[Broadway Video]] (also founded by Lorne Michaels), as well as produce movies, mainly those featuring ''SNL'' sketch characters. No on-screen logo was used until 1999.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, several lines of {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} light fly by from the right as "SNL STUDIOS" (in white, in the same font used for the show title the company was named after from 1995-2006) dimmers in and out as the light scrolls. It all dies down, except for the bottom of the company name where it leaves circles (in order) the last "S" in "STUDIOS", the "I", the "U", the "T", the "S" and finally a streak under "SNL".

Visuals: On a black background, several lines of blue light fly by from the right as "SNL STUDIOS" (in white, in the same font used for the show title the company was named after from 1995-2006) dimmers in and out as the light scrolls.

Trivia: This logo has some elements of the SNL opening montage from seasons 24-25.
Variants:
Technique: CGI by Pentagram.
Audio: The closing theme of the TV show. The theatrical version has a mystical xylophone theme that ascends as it goes along, which ends with a six-note saxophone solo (reminiscent of the saxophone bits in SNL's themes) and twinkles. This was composed by Howard Shore.
Availability: It debuted on the Saturday Night Live 25th Anniversary special and appears on the end of SNL episodes from the 25th season (1999-2000) onward, and it also can be found on current prints of the first five seasons of the aforementioned show. The movie version can be found on Superstar and The Ladies Man.
