'''Availability:''' Only known so far to have been seen on ''Quicksilver'', ''Free 4 All'', ''Pacific Blue'' and other USA original productions of the era. Perhaps more notably it appears on the first season of ''Street Fighter: The Animated Series''.

'''Nickname:''' "USA Studios", "The Fountain"


'''Logo:''' We pan down from a large entrance archway of a studio, rows of palm trees and buildings and we see a fountain, aglow with orange CGI "water", as the USA Studios logo (the USA Network logo of the era, a serif-font "USA" with a star shape integrated into the "U", with "STUDIOS" below instead of "NETWORK") rotates into place facing the camera from the right. As it rotates, the fountain sprays water upwards.

'''Trivia:''' At this point, the "look" of USA Network revolved around the fictional "USA Studios" complex; idents provided glimpses of a control room, movie intros showed people inside the "USA Studios Film Vault", and schedule bumpers showed soundstages being prepped for production.

'''Technique:''' Good CGI and live-action footage. Not bad for 1996.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic two-note fanfare, ending with a harp crescendo. The short version uses a majestic 3-note jingle based off USA's signature of the era, combined with rushing water noises.

'''Availability:''' Was seen on USA original programs and movies of the era, such as ''Savage Dragon'', ''Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm'', the second season of ''Street Fighter: The Animated Series'' and ''Wing Commander Academy''. Some original programs from this period don’t use this logo, namely ''Duckman.''
