USA Cable Entertainment: Difference between revisions

===2nd Logo (1998-2004)===

* For co-produced shows, "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" appears above the logo.

* There is a variant of this logo where it is up-close.

* A filmed version of this logo exists.

* On HD prints of some season 2 episodes of ''Law & Order: SVU'', this logo is cropped to 16:9.

* Starting in 2000, the logo was enhanced. The flag animation in the beginning is slightly different, the text is now 3D, the "USA" text now has a shadow, and the flag "waves" once the logo is finished forming.

* For co-produced shows, "In association with" in a spaced-out Gill Sans font is seen above "'''{{Font color|red|STUDIOS}}'''".

* On ''Crossing Over with John Edward,'' "distributed by" is seen above "'''{{Font color|red|STUDIOS}}'''".

* A widescreen version of this logo exists, starting in 2000.

* Starting in 2000, this logo became the ID for "{{Font color|blue|'''USA CABLE ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" with "{{Font color|blue|'''CABLE ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" under the logo. This version exists with or without "Distributed by" appearing above the logo.

** This exists in both filmed and videotaped versions.

* There was a still shot version without "Distributed by" above the logo, which can be seen on ''Tremors: The Series''.

* There was another still shot of the 1998 version seen on the short-lived series, ''Payne'' and ''Brother's Keeper''.

* On USA Network TV movies from 1998-1999, a still/filmed version of this logo appears.  

* On some shows, the logo is stretched.

* On ''Xena: Warrior Princess'' starting with season 4, only one whoosh sound is heard.

* On later episodes of ''Young Hercules'', the finishing of the [[Renaissance Pictures]] logo's music is played over it.

* Some shows, like ''Maury'', ''Jerry Springer'' and some season 2 episodes of ''New York Undercover'' on Centric, have wind sound effects following the whoosh sound.

* Starting in 2000, the above sound variant is used, but more whoosh sounds are added for when the flag animates.

* Depending on how long the 2000 enhanced variant of this logo is shown on-screen, descending wind sounds may be heard when the flag starts waving.

* Sometimes, it is silent, or the end title theme of any show or TV movie may play over.

* NBC, CBS and ABC airings used a generic theme.

* The Studios USA variant appeared on network and syndicated shows of the time such as ''Law & Order'' episodes from the era, ''The Agency'', season 1 of ''The District'', ''Jerry Springer'' and ''Maury'', among others. Reruns of the latter two shows will however have the [[NBCUniversal Television|NBCUniversal Television Distribution]] logo. It was previously seen on ''Crossing Over with John Edward'' on Sci-Fi Channel (now Syfy). The cable variant appeared on shows and made-for-TV movies usually produced for USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel, such as ''Peacemakers'' (in which the NBC.com prints retains it), seasons 1-2 (and the first 5 episodes of season 3) of ''Monk'' on MeTV and on at least two season 1 episodes of ''Sitting Ducks'' last aired on the now-defunct Qubo network. Made-for-TV movies with this logo include ''Helen of Troy'', ''Prancer Returns'', ''Terminal Invasion'', ''Spartacus'' (2004), and the 2003 ''Battlestar Galactica'' miniseries, among others.  

* The Cable Entertainment version without "Distributed by" was seen on the 2000 TV movie ''Cabin by the Lake'', and the 2003 TV series ''Tremors''.

* The Studios USA version can be seen on 4:3 prints of 1998-2002 seasons of ''Law & Order'' (not on the Sundance airings, which use the 2004 NBC Universal Television Distribution logo, nor widescreen DVDs, which use the NBC Universal Television Studio logo instead, or on local reruns, which use the 2011 NBCUniversal TV Distribution logo), the first three seasons of ''Law & Order: SVU'' on MyNetworkTV and intact on its DVD box sets, the final two seasons of ''Hercules: The Legendary Journeys'' on TeleXitos, H&I, and when last aired on the Hub Network (before the rebrand to Discovery Family). It was also seen on ''Arrest & Trial'', which last aired on the now-defunct Fox Reality Channel.

* It also appears on ''Xena: Warrior Princess'' on DVD starting on season 4, some season 2 episodes of ''New York Undercover'' last seen on Centric (now BET Her) [plastering the 1991 Universal Television logo], and was also seen on ''The Mummy: The Animated Series'', in which Peacock's prints and DVD releases retain this.

* The still/filmed variant of the Studios USA logo is extremely rare, as it can be only found on original airings of TV movies produced for USA Network from 1998 to 1999, like ''Every Mother's Worst Fear'' or ''The Color of Courage''. Home media releases and reruns of these films remove this in favor of the 1997 [[Universal Pictures]] logo at the start of the films.  

* The Studios USA logo was also seen when ABC briefly aired season 1 episodes of USA Network's ''Monk'' in 2003.  

* Strangely, the Cable Entertainment logo was spotted at the start of a Roku Channel print of ''Joe Gould's Secret'' (2000), following the 1997 [[Universal Pictures]] logo, and as a result, plastering the [[USA Films]] logo that was originally used on that film.
