<u>Logo</u>: The logo starts on a black background with a golden burst of light (very likely intended to be the sun). Then, a half-globe motif figure, with the features of earth zooms back and "'''UNIVERSAL MEDIA STUDIOS'''" in the Copperplate Gothic typeface in place since 1990 with "'''MEDIA STUDIOS'''" under "'''UNIVERSAL'''", is below it. While that happens, the golden burst of light gets brighter, and expands, a la the 1988 [[ABC Productions]] logo.
