Photos by TheMisterFree and NakedTarzan01
1st logo (1992?-1996?)
Variant: On Pacific Blue, the logo appears on a red background.
FX/SFX: Not much animation.
Music/Sounds: A gentle, 4-note synth tune. On the red background variant, it's silent.
Availability: Only known so far to have been seen on Quicksilver, Free 4 All, Pacific Blue and other USA original productions of the era. Perhaps more notably it appears on the first season of Street Fighter: The Animated Series.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd logo (1996-1998?)
Nickname: "USA Studios", "The Fountain"
Logo: We pan down from a large entrance archway of a studio, rows of palm trees and buildings and we see a fountain, aglow with orange CGI "water", as the USA Studios logo (the USA Network logo of the era, a serif-font "USA" with a star shape integrated into the "U", with "STUDIOS" below instead of "NETWORK") rotates into place facing the camera from the right. As it rotates, the fountain sprays water upwards.
Variant: There is a short version.
Trivia: At this point, the "look" of USA Network revolved around the fictional "USA Studios" complex; idents provided glimpses of a control room, movie intros showed people inside the "USA Studios Film Vault", and schedule bumpers showed soundstages being prepped for production.
FX/SFX: Good CGI and live-action footage. Not bad for 1996.
Music/Sounds: A majestic two-note fanfare, ending with a harp crescendo. The short version uses a majestic 3-note jingle based off USA's signature of the era, combined with rushing water noises.
Availability: Was seen on USA original programs and movies of the era, such as Savage Dragon, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, the second season of Street Fighter: The Animated Series and Wing Commander Academy. Some original programs from this period don’t use this logo, namely Duckman.
Editor's Note: None.
4th Logo (1998-1999)
Logo: We see a on the white then zooms would have USA NETWORKS logo was shines then a URL fading in.
Variant: Sometimes the URL would not shown.
FX/SFX: The shines
Music/Sounds: A three-note tune used a USA Network jingle
Availlabity: Seen at the end Journey to the Center of the Earth (miniseries) on ION Television.
