** Another version exists that has "RELEASE" appear underneath the MCA byline. This was used to plaster the Paramount logo at the end of 1980s reissue prints of Alfred Hitchcock films owned by Hitchcock himself (including ''Rear Window'' and ''The Man Who Knew Too Much'', including one BBC Two airing of the latter from August 11, 2001), and also appeared on US theatrical prints of ''The Slipper and the Rose: The Story of Cinderella''.

** At the end of Discovery Channel Southeast Asian prints of ''Jaws'' and ''Jaws 2'', the logo is faster and the credits music also plays over the logo.

** On most movies from 1989 and 1990, the MCA byline has more of a {{color|orangered|red-orange}} color, and the Van Allen belts are more {{color|darkviolet|purple}}. This can be found on ''Parenthood'', ''Uncle Buck'', ''Field of Dreams'', the VHS release of ''Born on the Fourth of July'', ''Opportunity Knocks'', ''Coupe De Ville'', ''Bird on a Wire'', and the theatrical trailers for ''Back to the Future Part III'' and ''Problem Child'' (both of which ultimately used the 75th Anniversary variant of the 9th logo). However, some movies from 1989, such as ''Back to the Future Part II'', ''The Dream Team'' and ''K-9'', would still use the original variant of the MCA byline. A clip of this variant was used for the Universal 75th Anniversary logo, which also uses clips from the 5th and 6th logos.

* "Flat": Presented in 1.14:1 open matte for 35mm uncropped film scan prints, 1.37:1 academy or 1.85:1 "matted" widescreen, the logo appears to move somewhat faster than the widescreen version. The "UNIVERSAL" text is not blurred and simply fades in. Seen on films such as ''Coogan's Bluff'', ''Duel'', ''Charley Varrick'', ''The Sentinel'', ''National Lampoon's Animal House'', ''The Jerk'', ''Little Miss Marker'' (1980), ''Coal Miner's Daughter'', ''Somewhere in Time'', ''An American Werewolf in London'', ''E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial'', ''Fast Times at Ridgemont High'', ''Cat People'' (1982), ''Videodrome'', ''Monty Python's The Meaning of Life'', ''Sixteen Candles'', ''The Breakfast Club'', the first two ''Back to the Future'' films, ''Weird Science'', ''Brazil'', ''Out of Africa'', ''An American Tail'', and ''The Land Before Time''. In an earlier variant, used in tandem with the normal version, "A UNIVERSAL PICTURE" starts blurred, but becomes clearer, along with the Edward Muhl byline. The globe zooms in faster in this variant, used on movies like ''Shenandoah'', ''Send Me No Flowers'', ''Charade'' and ''Father Goose''. A B&W version of this variant can also be seen on ''Kitten with a Whip'', which was featured on an episode of ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' (with the logo intact). It was also the default pan-and-scan version of the logo and plastered the above variant on older VHS copies of most if not all Universal films shot in scope (a notable exception being the original VHS of ''The Dark Crystal'', which was released by Thorn EMI Video).

** In the early years of the "Flat" version of the logo, a small registered trademark symbol ("®") appears below the "L" in "UNIVERSAL", which faded in alongside the zooming text. By 1975, a larger "®" was added in the same position, but it fades in after the text zooms out. However, the smaller "®" behind the bigger "®" can still be seen.
