'''Visuals:''' On a black background, an arc slowly appears and brightens. A series of lights begin appearing below the arc and we see that this is another globe, looking over Europe. The camera moves down as the lights appear all over Europe, and then Africa (the Earth's continents now have a {{color|green}}, {{color|gold|yellow}}, and {{color|red}} color scheme).

A series of lights begin appearing below the arc and we see that this is another globe, looking over Europe. The camera moves down as the lights appear all over Europe, and then Africa (the Earth's continents now have a {{color|green}}, {{color|gold|yellow}}, and {{color|red}} color scheme). As we begin to zoom out, the word "UNIVERSAL", in a modified version of the font from the previous logo named Universal Serif (this time the text is still {{color|gold}}, but has the inner white part of the text rising out of a {{color|gold}} outline), rotates to the front of the globe as the lights emanating from the continents dim out. By this time, the globe is shining from the back. Unlike the previous 2 logos, no corporate byline is present as MCA was renamed to Universal Studios around the time this logo was introduced. | ||
'''Trivia:''' The logo, designed by Identica Partnership; was introduced to coincide with the rebranding of MCA, Inc. as Universal Studios, Inc. on December 9, 1996, and in fact, the logo technically debuted in print form on the same day.<!--However this is NOT enough to change the date of various pages since we don't cover print logos - for all intents and purposes this still debuted in 1997!--> | '''Trivia:''' The logo, designed by Identica Partnership; was introduced to coincide with the rebranding of MCA, Inc. as Universal Studios, Inc. on December 9, 1996, and in fact, the logo technically debuted in print form on the same day.<!--However this is NOT enough to change the date of various pages since we don't cover print logos - for all intents and purposes this still debuted in 1997!--> | ||

* This logo also precedes releases originally without this logo on video (and served as a de facto home entertainment logo), before direct-to-home media content (like ''An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars''), TV shows (like ''The Office'') and occasionally on cable channels, usually on made-for-TV movies (and as a result of that, sometimes deletes [[USA Cable Entertainment]] and other [[Universal Television]]-related logos at the end). | * This logo also precedes releases originally without this logo on video (and served as a de facto home entertainment logo), before direct-to-home media content (like ''An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars''), TV shows (like ''The Office'') and occasionally on cable channels, usually on made-for-TV movies (and as a result of that, sometimes deletes [[USA Cable Entertainment]] and other [[Universal Television]]-related logos at the end). | ||
