''' | '''Visuals:''' On a dark background (shot on the Revue camera), we see a reel of film with a black rectangle in front of it. The words "DISTRIBUTED BY" in a Futura font, appear atop the reel. Inside the rectangle are the words: | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' Virtually the same alignment as before, except that the reel doesn't take up as much picture space, is placed on a sunburst background, the text "DISTRIBUTED BY" is in a different font, "MCA", "TV" and "LTD." (the latter now shown in block letters) are in a variation of the same 3-dimensional font as the then-current Revue logo, "TV" and "LTD." are smaller than "MCA", and "EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIVES" doesn't take up as much reel space. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a dark screen, 5 trilons turn to reveal an arrowhead which has the letters "'''mca'''" in a lower-case font inside, set against a satiny background. After a second or two, the letter "'''a'''" appears on top of the "'''mca'''", while "'''tv'''", underneath, and the word "'''release'''", under the arrowhead, fade-in. The trilons then turn in a different direction, and the screen is dark once again. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' Similar to the 1971-1991 [[Universal Television (1963-1998)|Universal Television]] logo, except the company name is replaced by: | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' Like [[Universal Television (1963-1998)|Universal Television]]'s 1971-1991 logo, we see a still of the then-current Universal “Zooming Globe”, but the logo now reads, in the same font as the MCA byline on that logo: | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a space background, we see a 3D Earth model, taken from the contemporary MTE logo. In front of it is the following in a {{color|gold}} color: | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' We see the rotating globe against the starfield background from the 1990-1997 [[Universal Pictures]] logo (this time, the globe and the background are in a {{color|darkviolet|purple}} tint). The company name "{{color|gold|'''MCA TV'''}}" (which is now in the font used on the MCA Records and [[MCA/Universal Home Video]] logos) slides in from the top of the screen, zooming out, and makes a stop in front of the globe. The words "{{color|gold|'''EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR'''}}" in a Univers Black Extended font, fade in below the MCA name. There is also a shine effect afterward. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' Same as the 1991 Universal Television logo, except this time, the words "{{color|gold|'''MCA TV'''}}" (in the previous logo's typeface) appear from behind the rotating globe and make a stop in front of it. The words "EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR" fades in under "{{color|gold|'''MCA TV'''}}", along with the registered trademark "®" symbol next to it. | ||
'''Variant:''' There is a prototype variant of the logo where the starfield background is stretched out more vertically. | '''Variant:''' There is a prototype variant of the logo where the starfield background is stretched out more vertically. |
