Universal Pictures Home Entertainment: Difference between revisions

*On UK VHS and DVDs (mainly from [[Right Entertainment (UK)|Right Entertainment]], Universal distributed tapes from this company), the logo has the Universal City Studios byline as well as the URL.

*An anamorphically enhanced widescreen version was created and used on all widescreen DVDs and some full screen DVDs of all pre-1997 Universal films. Strangely this isn't used on the 2002 2 Disc Limited Collector's Edition DVD of ''E.T. The Extra Terrestrial'' or the 2000 Collector's Edition DVD of ''Jurassic Park'', likely due to those using their own variants of the 1997 Universal logo before the main menus which can be viewed here. However, the 2003 "Double Secret Probation Edition" DVD of ''National Lampoon's Animal House'' still uses this while using its own variant before the main menu.

*The original 1997 fullscreen version of this logo is videotaped, while the 1999 versions are filmed.

*Two non-anamorphic widescreen versions exist. The first one is presented in the 1.77 aspect ratio and is filmed. The other one is presented in 1.85 aspect ratio and is videotaped. The 1.77 version can be found on Universal DVDs distributed by Image Entertainment such as ''Firestarter'', ''Sixteen Candles'', ''Midnight Run'', ''Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie'' and ''Weird Science''. The 1.85 version can be found on the DVDs of ''The Breakfast Club'', ''The Wiz'', ''Uncle Buck'', ''The Great Outdoors'' and the Collector's Editions of ''The Blues Brothers'', ''1941'' and John Carpenter's ''The Thing''. A cut short version of the 1.85 variant can be found at the beginning of ''The Making Of Jaws'' documentary on the 2000 Anniversary Collector's Edition DVD of ''Jaws''. Surprisingly, this is used at the beginning of the documentary ''Beware the Moon: Remembering An American Werewolf in London'', which can be found on the 2009 Full Moon Edition DVD/Blu-ray of ''An American Werewolf in London''.

*A cut short version can be found at the end of most "making of" documentaries for VHS and DVD. It was also used at the beginning of VHS releases of Universal movies distributed by GoodTimes Home Video such as the 1998 VHS release of ''Jaws: The Revenge''.

*There is a variant of the short version where the URL "www.universalstudios.com/home" appears at the bottom. This was used on several "making-of" featurettes, such as ''The Stories Behind the Making of The Blues Brothers'' and ''Duel: A Conversation with Steven Spielberg''. The 1997 Universal Studios copyright may or may not appear in the bottom right. Surprisingly, the ''Conan Unleashed'' featurette on international DVD/Blu-Ray releases of ''Conan the Barbarian'' (1982) from [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] retains this variant at the end.  

*Another home video-specific URL version has the URL placed within the bottom letterbox fill. This appears on the ''Field of Dreams'' making-of featurette on its 1999 Special Edition release.

*There is a higher toned version which can be found at the beginning of ''Making An American Werewolf in London'', which can be found on the 2001 Collector's Edition DVD of ''An American Werewolf in London''.

*A silent version can be found at the end of ''The Stories Behind The Making of The Blues Brothers'', which can be found on the 1998 Collector's Edition DVD of ''The Blues Brothers''.

'''Availability:''' No longer current, but still very common. This was used as the de-facto home video logo. Appears on many Universal and Focus Features releases, direct-to-DVDs, DVD versions of older, pre-1997 Universal movies, and made-for-TV family movies such as ''Balto III: Wings of Change'', ''Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior'', ''Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein'', ''Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman'', ''The Land Before Time'' sequels starting with ''The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island'' and ending with ''The Land Before Time XIII: The Wisdom of Friends'', ''An American Tail'' sequels starting with ''An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island'' and ending with ''An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster'', ''LEGO: The Adventures of Clutch Powers'', the 1971-1982 Dr. Seuss/DFE animated specials, the Barbie direct-to-video films starting with ''Barbie of Swan Lake'' and ending with ''Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2'', ''Coraline'', ''Despicable Me'', and ''Hop'', among others. This logo with the NBC Universal byline was seen on ''An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars''. It also made a surprise appearance on the Australian DVD release of ''U2: The Best of 1990-2000''. This also made a surprise appearance on ''Pontoffel Rock, Where Are You?'' (''Pontoffel Rock & His Magic Piano'' on later video releases) on the 2012 Deluxe Edition DVD of ''The Lorax'' (1972) due to using the 2003 master as they forgot to cut the logo. Surprisingly, this appeared at the start of the Descriptive Video VHS of ''Shrek'' before the DreamWorks logo (the normal VHS release don't have it).
