'''Logo:''' The logo starts on a black background with a {{Font color|gold|golden}} burst of light (very likely intended to be a sun). Then a half-globe motif figure with the features of Earth in it's 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.

'''Logo:''' We zoom out from a Western Hemisphere view of a detailed globe with some clouds. As we pan out, a sunburst appears and shines in the northeastern arc of the globe. A {{Font color|blue|bluish}}/{{Font color|purple|purple}} starfield with a few nebular clouds appear in the background. The white text "'''UNIVERSAL'''TELEVISION" (in a sans-serif font called "Folio" and "'''UNIVERSAL'''" in bold) without a space between and with an abstract arc above is vertically wiped in front of the Earth globe with a translucent line once we are at a comfortable distance.

'''Editor's Note:''' An excellent effort to bring the classic Universal Television name back, except one problem: the globe is rotating to the left instead of to the right. Strange, isn't it? But this was short-lived as it was replaced a month later.

'''Logo:''' Against a {{Font color|blue|bluish}} starfield background that's almost similar to the one from the previous logo with some nebular clouds, we see a much more detailed Earth globe zooming out from the front right to the center which is now rotating forward this time like the other Universal logos. As the globe reaches the center, a sunburst appears flashing on the top-right part of the globe. As this happens, the text "'''UNIVERSAL'''TELEVISION", in the same font as before with the abstract arc above it, appears rotating in from the left and making a stop in front of the globe as the sunburst dims down a bit. Some light rays are seen behind the globe and some nebular clouds are seen moving in front of the globe. The byline "A Division of NBCUniversal" appears under the logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A three-note orchestrated theme, consisting of the first two notes of the three-note NBC chimes jingle and a final note that sounds similar to that of the 1997 Universal Pictures fanfare, composed by Jerry Goldsmith. This jingle sounds quite similar to the NBCUniversal Television logo music. Composed by FirstCom Music.
