'''Logo:''' Over a light shaded background, we see the phrase "Produced by '''REVUE''' In Hollywood". The word "'''REVUE'''" is taller than the rest of the words, and appears in a very slim, 3-dimensional state. The angle is on the right, looking downward, with a small shadow behind the letters. The words above and below are seen in a cursive font.

'''Logo:''' Two filmstrip-like lines with letters (the top one being black and the bottom one being {{color|gray}} move in opposite directions of each other, with the top line moving left and the bottom line moving right. To the tune of the fanfare, five letters stack horizontally together, unevenly, spelling the name "{{Font|Franklin Gothic|'''revue'''}}". Then the remaining letters move away, revealing a white-outlined rounded rectangle shape (similar in shape to the Warner Bros. \\' logo). Then, the inside turns into a {{color|darkgray|dark gray}} color under the black and {{color|gray}} blocks of letters, with the words "filmed in hollywood at" above the blocks, "studios" below, and "MCA-TV EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR" under the shape appearing with it. The MCA byline, underneath the logo, is usually accompanied by its own union bug, which is a small globe with the words MCA over it.

*In 1962, a color version was introduced. The regular logo now takes place on a wallflower-type background with 60s star designs in {{color|darkorange|orange}}, similar to the 1st logo of Universal Television. The filmstrips on the top are {{color|orange}} and those on the bottom are {{color|teal|teal}}. The animation is the same, but the television tube inside later turns {{color|antiquewhite|ivory}} instead of black.

The only animation used was the TV tube finishing zooming out and later fading to the 1964 Universal Television logo in color.

*Early versions have a conjoined Revue/MCA logo, with the Revue logo on the left in a solid-lined TV tube border, and an MCA Arrowhead logo in a dotted-line TV tube connected to it on the right, Venn diagram-style. The usual Revue info is written on the left tube, and "mca tv exclusive distributor" is written on the right tube. The company name in which the show had been co-produced is written above, as usual. An MCA T.M. logo bug is sometimes seen in the lower left hand corner.

'''Logo:''' It looks just like the 1962 Revue "Blinking Negatives" logo, without the additional animation. The company name flickers 6 times, during the first 5 bars of the fanfare and makes a stop during the rest of the jingle. The phrase is "'''filmed at universal city, MCA-TV EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR'''" with a small MCA logo bug next to the distributor's byline (which was outside the logo as always). The color version has a wallflower-type background in {{color|red}} with white '60s-type star designs over it. The filmstrip blocks are {{color|red}} and {{color|blue}}, the background of the tubular border was {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}}, and all the block colors revert to black and white over and over. The B&W variation of the logo was the same as the B&W version of the Revue logo, but the only block colors that flicker are the black and white ones.

* Strangely, Horror Channel UK's print of ''The Incredible Hulk'' season 2 episode "Wildfire" and the ''Xena: Warrior Princess'' season 5 episode "Animal Attraction" on Tubi and The Roku Channel, the version with the website URL plays before the start of the episode, confusingly enough.

'''Logo:''' The logo starts on a black background with a {{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 its negative space zooms back and "{{Font|Copperplate Gothic|'''{{Big|UNIVERSAL}}'''}} '''MEDIA STUDIOS'''" with "{{Font|Copperplate Gothic|{{Big|'''UNIVERSAL'''}}}}" in the Copperplate Gothic Bold typeface and "'''MEDIA STUDIOS'''" in the Akzidenz-Grotesk Extended Medium typeface and underneath "{{Font|Copperplate Gothic|{{Big|'''UNIVERSAL'''}}}}", is below it. While that happens the {{color|gold|golden}} burst of light gets brighter and expands, a la the 1988 [[ABC Productions]] logo.
'''Bylines:'''
*Early 2009-2010: "{{Font|Copperplate Gothic|{{Small|'''A DIVISION OF NBC UNIVERSAL'''}}}}" (in Copperplate Gothic)
*Late 2009-October 19, 2011: "'''A Division of NBC Universal'''" (in Akzidenz-Grotesk Extended Medium)
'''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 is realistic.
*A rare variant without the earth exists.
'''Technique:''' CGI animation.
'''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 Reef'', the theme is high-pitched and sped-up.
*On the pilot episode of ''The Event'', the [[Universal Content Productions|Universal Cable Productions]] theme is used.
'''Availability:''' Common.
*It is usually seen on shows produced in this era such as ''Friday Night Lights'', ''House'', ''The Office'', ''Community'', ''The Event'', ''Life'', the final season of ''Heroes'', 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 got their own logo for Universal Cable Productions (now Universal Content Productions).
*It was also seen on on-demand prints of some new NBC shows in the 2011-2012 season including ''Up All Night'', ''Whitney'' and ''Free Agents''. Original airings of these shows starting in September 2011 used the next logo.
