* On ''Scott Pilgrim vs. The World'', a 8-bit rendition of the fanfare, composed by Nigel Godrich, is heard. It is also the first track of the film's score soundtrack as "Universal Theme". According to the soundtrack, Jerry Goldsmith (the original composer of the fanfare) was credited, while both versions were mentioned in the digital release's trivia subtitle track. According to the storyboards of this film, it was supposed to have a bass rumble, a guitar squall, and drums, drumming over the 16-bit logo. The logo's regular music was used when Lucas Lee (played by Chris Evans) comes out of his green room for the shooting of his film, in which the hits and the last note are synced to his actions, such as cracking his neck, using his skateboard and landing on his feet at the scene. However, the logo's regular music is used on a still version of this logo (in low quality to match the game's visuals) in ''Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Video Game'' and the next logo (without the Comcast byline) in the Definitive Edition. | * On ''Scott Pilgrim vs. The World'', a 8-bit rendition of the fanfare, composed by Nigel Godrich, is heard.
