Universal Studios DVD

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Logo (March 31, 1998-February 26, 2002)

Visuals: A series of clips from various Universal Studios-owned films plays (some of which are recorded off a TV screen). Between clips, the animation of the 1997 Universal Studios logo is seen. The logo then finishes as normal, only the globe rises up and the DVD logo fades in underneath.

Trivia: This logo was used as an advertisement for Universal Studios Home Video DVD releases instead of a usual logo. However, in this version the titles of various films are shown to promote their releases.

Variants:

  • The clips in the Universal sequence may differ depending on the country, year or brief period of time that the DVD was released in.
  • On 2001 releases of the Alfred Hitchcock Collection, such as Rear Window, the footage is replaced with clips from Hitchcock's Universal-controlled movies, and at the end of the logo, a yellow light shines through.

Technique: CGI, along with live-action or animated movie clips.

Audio: A sample from "Ecosystem" by John Pratt and Michael Alemania.

Availability: Seen on most DVD releases by Universal Studios Home Video from 1998 to 2002, such as The Little Rascals, Major Payne, Babe: Pig In The City, Winning, The Hurricane, the Collector's Edition DVD releases of the Jurassic Park trilogy, and The Fast and the Furious, among others, with the final release with this logo being the 2002 DVD release of The Musketeer, but it is absent on some Collector's Edition DVD releases, such as the 2000 Anniversary Collector's Edition DVD release of Jaws, the 1998 Collector's Edition DVD releases of The Blues Brothers, Daylight, and the 2001 Collector's Edition DVD release of How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000 live-action film), as well as some international DVD releases (except the Australian 1998 Collector's Edition DVD release of Twister).
