* An anamorphically enhanced widescreen version was created and used on all widescreen DVDs and some full screen DVDs of all pre-1997 Universal films. Strangely this isn't used on the 2002 2 Disc Limited Collector's Edition DVD of ''E.T. The Extra Terrestrial'' or the 2000 Collector's Edition DVD of ''Jurassic Park'', likely due to those using their own variants of the 1997 Universal logo before the main menus which can be viewed here. However, the 2003 "Double Secret Probation Edition" DVD of ''National Lampoon's Animal House'' still uses this while using its own variant before the main menu.

* Two non-anamorphic widescreen versions exist. The first one is presented in the 1.77 aspect ratio and is filmed. The other one is presented in 1.85 aspect ratio and is videotaped. The 1.77 version can be found on Universal DVDs distributed by [[RLJE Films|Image Entertainment]] such as ''Firestarter'', ''Sixteen Candles'', ''Midnight Run'', ''Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie'' and ''Weird Science''. The 1.85 version can be found on the DVDs of ''The Breakfast Club'', ''The Wiz'', ''Uncle Buck'', ''The Great Outdoors'' and the Collector's Editions of ''The Blues Brothers'', ''1941'' and John Carpenter's ''The Thing''. A cut short version of the 1.85 variant can be found at the beginning of ''The Making Of Jaws'' documentary on the 2000 Anniversary Collector's Edition DVD of ''Jaws''. Surprisingly, this is used at the beginning of the documentary ''Beware the Moon: Remembering An American Werewolf in London'', which can be found on the 2009 Full Moon Edition DVD/Blu-ray of ''An American Werewolf in London''.
