Background

After the opening of Universal Studios Florida in 1990, the two theme parks in both Universal Studios Hollywood and Florida needed to have a unified branding, thus leading to the creation of the combined Universal Studios Hollywood & Florida branding. In 1999, the brand was renamed to Universal Studios Theme Parks brand.

Logo (June 11, 1993-February 24, 2012)

  • Standard variant

  • Extra text variant (Blues Brothers 2000 version)

    Extra text variant (Blues Brothers 2000 version)

Visuals: The logo starts with searchlights moving, a la 20th Century Studios, on a city skyline with the 1990s Universal Studios theme park logo in yellow and the words "Hollywood & Florida" in pink script. The outlining border shines.

Variants:

  • On Action Man, the words "PRODUCTION FACILITIES PROVIDED BY" are above the logo.
  • A variant exists where "SEE THE STARS AND RIDE THE MOVIES!" is under the logo.
    • On Blues Brothers 2000 (directed by John Landis), the original white text fades out and "(ASK FOR BABS)" appears underneath instead.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: None.

Availability:

  • Appears at the end of Universal films in theaters initially from mid-1993 to 2012, debuting on Jurassic Park and appearing on other Universal films such as Hard Target, Casper (1995), 12 Monkeys, Dragonheart, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, The Mummy (1999), The Fast and the Furious (2001), Red Dragon, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Fast & Furious (2009), Despicable Me, and up to Wanderlust (unsurprisingly, the final mainline film to use the 1997 Universal Pictures logo).
  • On home media, it can be seen on the 2022-23 Kino Lorber Studio Classics Blu-rays/UHDs of Man on the Moon, Out of Sight, Mystery Men, and Red Dragon; finally showing up after almost 30 years of being absent from home media releases.
