'''Availability:''' See 3rd logo. Was also spotted on a bootleg DVD of ''Shark Tale'' and an Australian cable broadcast of ''The Truman Show''. In the UK, if you go to see a 35mm screening of a Universal/Paramount movie from 2003-2007, this logo will appear before it - it was seen before a 35mm showing of ''Serenity''. The long version can be seen on US iTunes and Amazon Prime print of the 2014 Argentinian movie Delirium. Starting in 2010, the shortened version of this logo can be found on trailers of movies uploaded by the official UIP YouTube account in certain regions. It makes an unexpected appearance at the start of a recent CBS Europa (Poland) airing of the 2005 TV movie ''14 Hours''. | '''Availability:''' See 3rd logo. | ||
