'''Visuals:''' There is a circle with "UNIVERSAL" written above and "FILMS" written below. Inside the circle is some small text that says "TRADE MARK". A Saturn-like ring surrounds the circle, which reads "THE TRANS-ATLANTIC FILM CO. LTD." (Universal's British distributor at the time). | |||
'''Technique:''' This logo is a painting filmed by a cameraman. | |||
'''Audio:''' The closing theme of the film. Otherwise, it uses a violin theme. | |||
'''Availability:''' Like the last logo, this is hard to come across because most of their silent films of this time were destroyed, while some went into public domain and have recreated titles replacing the Universal references. This is harder to find as there are more films destroyed with reissue titles plastering this logo, though a select few films, however, have turned up with their original credits and this logo intact. It last appeared on a silent film aired on TCM's Silent Sunday Nights. However, it can be found on the film ''By the Sun's Rays''. | |||
