'''Nicknames:''' "The Globe VIII", "The Screens IV" | |||
'''Logo:''' In a cloudy background, we see a globe, which transitions into an explosion. The explosion fades to a boat, which fades into another explosion, which fades into a marching army, which transitions to a ship going against a wave, which transitions back to yet another explosion. After the explosion, we fade into some smoke and a horse race. During the entire duration of this, we see the "UNIVERSAL Newsreel" text, with the "Newsreel" text being in a script font. Under that, is "COVERS WORLD-WIDE EVENTS" and a copyright stamp. | |||
'''Variant:''' A closing version exists, where in a gradient/shiny-looking background, we see the text "THE END" stacked to each other. Under that, we see "UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL" and "COVERS WORLDWIDE EVENTS" stacked to each other. | |||
