* In 2002, the logo was enhanced with a darker color scheme and slightly revised animation. The presentation is the same as usual, except the initial darkness of the globe is darker than usual. After the word "UNIVERSAL" circles around the globe, a darker, thicker shadow suddenly appears underneath it before becoming more transparent as the animation finishes. The entire globe also zooms out farther than its intended mark, and instead of slowing to a stop, it simply stops at its furthest position. Also, the URL is now set in Geneva. This variant was used in tandem with the 1997 version, and can be seen on ''8 Mile'', ''American Wedding'', ''Seabiscuit'', ''Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World'', ''The Bourne Supremacy'', and ''White Noise''. It also appears with the NBC Universal byline (and no shadow) on stereoscopic 3D prints of ''Despicable Me'' (2D prints use the 2005 variant with the NBC Universal byline). | * In 2002, the logo was enhanced with a darker color scheme and slightly revised animation.

The globe now faintly appears below the arc at the beginning of the logo. Also, the light rays are darker, and the shadow underneath the "UNIVERSAL" text appears at the same time as the URL. This would be used as the main variant going forward. | ||
