** There is a different version where it just says "E.T. THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY". In this version, "THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY" is in a different font and a small copyright notice appears at the bottom-right, which reads "©2001 UNIVERSAL STUDIOS". This version was used on ''40 Days and 40 Nights'' and on the premiere of the 20th anniversary ''E.T.'' re-release at the Shrine Auditorium on March 16, 2002. It also appears on the VHS release of ''K-PAX'', as well as the Canadian VHS releases of ''A Beautiful Mind'' and ''Big Fat Liar''.

* In 2002, the globe was graphically enhanced with a darker color, and in 2005, it would appear rotating below the arc at the beginning of the logo.

Universal would use this as the main variant starting with ''The Wedding Date'' in 2005. | * In 2002, the globe was graphically enhanced with a darker color, and in 2005, it would appear rotating below the arc at the beginning of the logo.
