=== Background ===
On June 14, 2007, the NBC Universal Television Group (now "NBCUniversal Television Group") reincorporated its television production arm of [[NBCUniversal Television|NBC Universal Television]] to its then-current name not only to focus on television production, but also digital platforms. The logo debuted on November 1, 2007. On September 12, 2011, Universal Media Studios was reverted back to "[[Universal Television]]".

'''Nicknames:''' "Sunburst", "Globe Dome", "The Universal Dome", "Sunburst Dome"
 
'''Logo:''' The logo starts on a black background with a {{Font color|gold|golden}} burst of light (very likely intended to be the sun). Then, a half-globe motif figure with the features of Earth in its negative space zooms back and "{{Font|Copperplate Gothic|'''{{Big|UNIVERSAL}} MEDIA STUDIOS'''}}" in the Copperplate Gothic typeface with "{{Font|Copperplate Gothic|'''MEDIA STUDIOS'''}}" under "{{Font|Copperplate Gothic|{{Big|'''UNIVERSAL'''}}}}", is below it. While that happens, the {{Font color|gold|golden}} burst of light gets brighter, and expands, a la the 1988 [[ABC Productions]] logo.
 
'''Bylines:'''
*Early 2009: "{{Font|Copperplate Gothic|{{Small|'''A DIVISION OF NBC UNIVERSAL'''}}}}" (in Copperplate Gothic).
*Late 2009-October 19, 2011: "'''A Division of NBC Universal'''".
 
'''Variants:'''
*Both long, short, and still versions exist for this logo.
*''The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien'', ''Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'', and ''Last Call with Carson Daly'' have the NBC Studios, Inc. (later NBC Studios, LLC) copyright stamp. The version on Fallon's show has a very cheap looking zoom out effect.
*The 2010 edition of NBC's ''Christmas in Rockefeller Center'' has the NBC Universal, Inc. copyright stamp below the NBC Universal byline.
*On ''Crusoe'', the logo is still and shares the screen with the [[Power]] logo.
*A prototype version exists where the earth looks realistic.
*A rare variant without the earth exists.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' The light expanding, and the half-globe motif showing parts of the earth.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' A 5-note rock jingle. Composed by 5 Alarm Music.
 
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
*A short version exists, where only 3 notes are heard.
*Some series, such as ''House'', used the 1999 [[NBC Studios]] low tone theme on some early episodes.
*On ''The Marriage Ref'', the theme is high-pitched and sped-up.
 
'''Availability:''' Common.
*It is usually preserved on shows produced in this era, such as ''Friday Night Lights'', ''House'', and ''Parenthood''.
*Surprisingly, this logo has appeared on syndicated episodes of ''Jerry Springer'' and ''Steve Wilkos'', replacing the NBC Universal Television Distribution logo for a while. However, on later rebroadcasts of ''Springer'' and ''Wilkos'', they would use the current NBCUniversal Television Distribution logo.
*Starting in November 2008, it didn't appear on shows produced for cable (such as ''Monk''), as those get their own logo (for "[[Universal Content Productions|Universal Cable Productions]]").
*It was also seen on some new NBC shows in the 2011-2012 season, including ''Up All Night'', ''Whitney'', and ''Free Agents''.
 
'''Editor's Note:''' It's somewhat reminiscent of the ABC Productions logo from 1988.
