Background

On September 9, 2017, Sprout rebranded as Universal Kids and its in-house production company was rebranded as Universal Kids Originals. Coinciding with this, the network became targeted primarily at school-aged kids (from 7-12 years old). The network is owned by NBCUniversal.

1st Logo (October 13, 2017)	2nd Logo (October 13, 2017-April 11, 2019)	3rd Logo (April 12, 2019-)

1st Logo (October 13, 2017)

Visuals: On a white background, the Universal Kids logo (which consists of Universal Pictures' print logo's globe which is cut in half and the words "UNIVERSAL KIDS" in teal) appears and the words are revolving around the globe. The words "ORIGINAL SERIES" in purple and stacked appears at the last rotation of "UNIVERSAL KIDS". A copyright notice for Bravo Media is at the bottom.

Technique: 2D computer animation, done by ELOSIA Studio.

Audio: A remixed techno hip-hop beat accompanied with the sound of kids shouting "Ooh!".

Availability: It only appeared on Universal Kids' website and the original upload of the first episode of Top Chef Junior on YouTube. However, Universal Kids took it off their website sometime later. When it was eventually re-uploaded back onto their website, this logo was removed.

2nd Logo (October 13, 2017-April 11, 2019)

Visuals: On a light blue (or teal) background, the words "UNIVERSAL KIDS ORIGINAL" slide into the center of the screen. "UNIVERSAL KIDS" slides in from the left side and "ORIGINAL" slides in from the right. Sometimes, copyright info would appear below.

Variants:

On Nina's World, the Sprout logo appears on a dark blue background before it zooms away from the viewer while the dark background changes into a teal background via a zooming-out circle effect and the green flower of the Sprout logo. The words are already formed in this variant.
Starting in 2018, the font has changed slightly.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Same as the first logo. For the Nina's World variant, the music is slightly altered.

Availability: Seen on Top Chef Junior and The Noise. The variant is seen on Nina's World and most likely other Sprout Original shows. As of 2019, no new original shows are being produced, so now the only other programs the air on Universal Kids are acquired/imported ones.

Legacy: The Nina's World variant was possibly made to remind younger audiences that Sprout was going to become Universal Kids.

3rd Logo (April 12, 2019-)

Visuals: On a teal and green-blue background, the text "universal kids original" appears via a swiping in effect with a copyright notice appearing below the text. Then the text disappears.

Variant: Starting with Remy & Boo, the Universal Kids current logo now appears on the screen without the copyright notice.

Technique: Traditional animation, done by Kill 2 Birds.

Audio: A techno theme, different than the last two logos. Starting with Remy & Boo, a different theme was played.

Availability: Seen on Universal Kids Originals from the period, such as Remy & Boo.

-'''Logo:''' We see a child’s hand opening a pop-up book. When it opens, lots of pictures unfold, such as trees, bushes, and flowers. A big orange flour is seen with the 2009 Sprout logo, with the text “sprout” in blue with a green 5-pedal flower above the “out” The text “Original” is also shown.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The hand opening the book, and the text. All is live action.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' A remix of the Sprout theme, with kids saying, “Sprout?!?!”
-'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on several Sprout original series (including ''The Chica Show''), most of which are no longer on TV. However, it may be preserved on Hulu and Amazon Prime prints of ''The Chica Show''.
-'''Editor's Note:''' The kids suddenly shouting “Sprout!” can get to some. It's presumed that this was supposed to appear on ''Astroblast,'' hint that the closing theme fades out when it could've finished.

-'''Logo:''' Against a grainy white background, we see a kid and another grownup (possibly the parent, depending on the skin color) standing. The grownup holds a text reading, “original” and the kid holds a bullhorn. When [s]he says, “Sprout!” pieces of the Sprout logo come out. Then, the both say, “Original!” and the grownup holds up the text [s]he was holding so we can see it.
-'''FX/SFX:''' Live action. This was filmed in New York City.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as before, and the people speaking.
-'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' There are instrumental, dialogue-less versions of this logo.
-'''Availability:''' Extinct. This was first shown on episodes of ''Astroblast'' on Sprout. This can also be found on ''Ruff-Ruff, Tweet and Dave,'' before being plastered with the 2015 logo.
-'''Editor's Note:''' It's a cute and memorable logo, and a favorite among thirsty 8-year-olds.
-===4th Logo (2015?-September 9, 2017)===
-{{YouTube|id=_oMj19pGcmM}}
-'''Logo:''' On a turquoise background, we see the Sprout logo morphing in purple, green, yellow, and orange. Then, when the flower is green and the text is a darker blue than the background, the text “original series” in white pixelates in.
-'''FX/SFX:''' 2D animation.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' A remix of the Sprout theme used with an airy tune and dreamy synths.
-'''Availability:''' Common; it appeared on every single Sprout show by the company, plastering the previous logos. It appeared on ''Floogals, Dot, Astroblast, Chloe’s Closet,'' before being deleted in 2011 and many more. It also made its last appearance on ''The Ollie & Moon Show.''
-'''Editor's Note:''' This can be annoying to those who felt like this was hammered into their minds on purpose.

-'''Editor's Note:''' A plain and bland-looking logo and the Sprout variant seems to copy the concept of the 2014 [[Sony Pictures Entertainment|Sony]]/[[Sony Pictures Television]] logo combo, and the Sprout logo being on there is considered by to some to be unnecessary. However, the Sprout variant was possibly made to remind younger audiences that Sprout was going to become Universal Kids.
