And here we go.. The huge edit is done. Bunch of changes here. First, I rearranged the logos to hopefully their correct order. I also have discovered some more information of the logos that previously had no information. As such, I found new variants and a brand new logo. Lastly, I put up the dates together, due to the rearrangements. I also revised the availability section to the early logos.

'''Logo:''' In a black and white flower-like background, we see a person's head. Above the face is the curved text "GRAHAM MCNAMEE broadcasting as the". Under the face is the text "Universal Talking Reporter". The text fades out and is replaced by "UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL", with "NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL" being curved above the head, and the bottom now has a byline "By Arrangement With NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY". The logo then cuts to a cloudy background with a globe. We see the text "THE NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL", and a biplane passing the globe. The biplane leaves the text "UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL" behind.
