This version was seen 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 is also seen on the VHS release of ''K-PAX'', as well as the Canadian VHS releases of ''A Beautiful Mind'' and ''Big Fat Liar''. Shortly afterward, beginning with ''The Scorpion King'', the normal logo was reinstated.
* 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. Also, the light rays are darker and the shadow appears at the same time as the website URL, which is now set in the Geneva typeface, and fades in differently. Universal would use this as the main variant starting with ''The Wedding Date'' in 2005.

* Another variant has a darker mood. The presentation is the same as usual, except the initial darkness of the globe is darker than usual (pay close attention to that). Then, after the word "UNIVERSAL" is rotated from behind, either a darker, thicker shadow suddenly pops out, then gets brighter than normal towards the end after it locks in position. The entire globe zooms out farther than its intended mark, and instead of slowing to a stop, it stops hard in its far-back position. The globe appears much further back in letterbox format. This variant can be found on ''8 Mile'', ''American Wedding'', ''Seabiscuit'', ''Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World'', ''The Bourne Supremacy'', and ''White Noise''. The variant with the NBC Universal byline (and no shadow) can be seen on stereoscopic 3D prints of ''Despicable Me'' (the 2D prints use the normal variant with the NBC Universal byline).

* For the ''E.T.'' variant, the music was changed in an arrangement by John Williams and Elias Associates to go with the customized ''E.T.'' logo; there is only one horn fanfare/hits sequence, followed by the end fanfare. This then segues into the theme from ''E.T.'' as he and Elliott fly across the globe. Most of the other films with this variant use the opening theme of the film instead.

It has the same melody, but like the ''E.T.'' logo, it is in a different key and sounds more "powerful" with added drums; this version made its only appearance on ''The Scorpion King'' (the first film released after the ''E.T.'' variant ceased usage).

* On ''Scott Pilgrim vs. The World'', an 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.

'''Early Variant:''' Just like as they did with their 1990 logo when the company celebrated their 75th anniversary, Universal initially used a special variant of this logo on the year they celebrated their centennial milestone. The logo acts as another "grand unveiling" or "passing of the torch," as it begins with clips of the previous logos of the company's history, beginning with the 1927 logo and finishing with the previous logo; in which the current logo makes its majestic debut shortly afterwards, as shown below. The logo with the montage was only used as a promotional video for their 100th year.
