Universal Education and Visual Arts
Background
Universal Education and Visual Arts is a educational film production and distribution arm of the Hollywood's oldest film studio, Universal Pictures, and closed its doors in the early 1980s. Its competitors were Learning Corporation of America, Time-Life Films, Centron Corporation, Encyclopaedia Britannica Films, Coronet Films, and National Film Board of Canada.
(1965?-early 1980s?)
Visuals: On a blue background, we see a white version of the 1963-1990 Universal Pictures logo. On the middle, the yellow words "UNIVERSAL EDUCATION AND VISUAL ARTS" and "presents" is seen below.
Variants:
- A distribution variant exists. Here, the "UNIVERSAL EDUCATION AND VISUAL ARTS" is still in the middle, but shifted to bottom to make room for the words "Distributed by" on top.
- A black and white version also exists.
- Depending on the film, either in 16mm or digitized prints, the color may range from crayola blue-deep white, cerulean blue-silver/silver white to medium turquoise/pacific blue-silver/deep white, respectively.
Technique: None.
Audio: Silent, or the opening theme of the short or documentary film.
Availability: Most of short films or documentaries have been lost, no logo at all, or have a in-credit notice at the start. The "presents" version was seen on Monet, while distribution variant was seen on At the Winter Sea Ice Camp - Part 4, available for viewing on Internet Archive, and can be seen on other films from the time.
