Visuals: On a blue background is 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: A still card.
Audio: Silent, or the opening theme of the short or documentary film.
Availability: Most of their 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, among other films from the time.
