'''Logo:''' A large flash appears from the far right side of the Universal globe, which is on a new, detailed starfield background. We move around the globe as the flash dims away and see the shiny {{color|gold|golden}} word "{{color|gold|{{font|Copperplate Gothic|'''UNIVERSAL'''}}}}", in a brand new font (in Copperplate Gothic Bold), appears from behind the globe and circling it. We zoom out and the globe moves to the center, as the word "{{color|gold|{{font|Copperplate Gothic|'''UNIVERSAL'''}}}}" straightens itself out and takes its place across the globe. The byline "{{color|gold|'''AN MCA COMPANY'''}}", in {{color|gold}} and in spaced-out letters to fit the width of "{{color|gold|{{font|Copperplate Gothic|'''UNIVERSAL'''}}}}", appears below the logo.
