Background

On December 9, 1996, following the rebranding of MCA as Universal Studios by Seagram & Sons, Universal renamed the MCA Television Entertainment (MTE) division as Universal Television Entertainment.

On October 20, 1997, Universal sold off USA Network, Sci-Fi Channel, and Universal Television to HSN Inc. (a company owned by Barry Diller) for $4.075 billion, and renamed it to Studios USA Television LLC. Therefore, UTE was renamed to Studios USA Pictures.

1st Logo (January-October 22, 1997)

Visuals: Same as the placeholder of the 1997 Universal Television Enterprises logo, a shortened bylineless version of the 1990 Universal Pictures logo, without any modifications whatsoever.

Technique: Models filmed with motion control.

Audio: Same as the 1991 Universal Television logo.

Audio Variant: On Escape from Atlantis, the logo is silent.

Availability: It was seen on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess.

  • This logo appears after the credits on the original airings of the 1997 telefilms, such as Any Place but Home, Buried Alive II, Divided by Hate, Escape from Atlantis and Our Mother's Murder (aka Daughters).

2nd Logo (September 1997-1998)


Visuals: Same as the 1997 Universal Television logo, but the name reads as "UNIVERSAL TELEVISION ENTERTAINMENT" as it fades in under the logo. The copyright notice is intact.

Variants:

  • A long version of the logo exists.
  • A filmed version also exists, which appears on the miniseries House of Frankenstein.

Technique: CGI by Picturemill.

Audio: Same as the 1997 Universal Television logo.

Audio Variants:

  • A long version of the 1997 Universal Television fanfare exists.
  • NBC and CBS airings used a generic theme.

Availability:

  • It appeared on the 1997 miniseries House of Frankenstein, and was also seen on original TV prints of TV movies such as No Laughing Matter.
