*"Scope": Shown in a wide ratio of 2.20:1 or 2.35:1 widescreen, the globe appears to zoom in rather slowly, and the "UNIVERSAL" text is blurred when it fades in, becoming clearer as it zooms out. The logo is much wider than usual, to accommodate the extra space. This is seen on films shot in this format such as ''High Plains Drifter'', ''The Sugarland Express'', ''Jaws'', ''The Car'', ''Halloween II'' and ''III'', John Carpenter's ''The Thing'', ''Scarface'' (1983), ''Firestarter'' (1984), ''The Dark Crystal'', ''The Last Starfighter'', ''Dune'' (1984), ''Legend'', ''Prince of Darkness'', ''They Live'' and ''Born on the Fourth of July''. It also had a bylineless variant of its own, which can be found on ''Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here'' (1969) and ''The Day of the Jackal'' (1973). A sepia-tone variant can be found on ''The Deer Hunter''. | *"Scope": Shown in a wide ratio of 2.20:1 or 2.35:1 widescreen, the globe appears to zoom in rather slowly, and the "UNIVERSAL" text is blurred when it fades in, becoming clearer as it zooms out.
