That mirror ball logo has to be the best. Especially impressive is that it was created at a time when computer animation did not exist. The "UNIVERSAL PICTURES" lettering orbiting the globe is so precise, and the whole design is pure 1930s art deco at its finest. The earlier logo with the plane circling the globe is interesting with the engine sound. The 100th Anniversary edition is also very impressive with its "in your face" presence. Thanks for this entertaining presentation.
The most recent intro is my favourite. When you see it on that gigantic theatre screen, with the fanfare pounding your ears, it stirs the soul. I hope we don't ever lose this experience to Covid and to at-home streaming video.
This is probably the most complete of the Universal logo compilations on TH-cam. Great job! I especially appreciated the identical or only slightly-different versions of the same logo (just because they came from different films).Over the years, I have collected RKO logos, and have done the same thing, so I appreciate your passion.
Exactly. It was all animated. For example, when I look at the 20th Century-Fox logo, it's probably the best example of old-time animation. The only ones which I don't think used animation were MGM and Columbia. In the case of Metro, there is the famous picture of Leo the Lion, they showed Leo posing before a microphone. In the case of Columbia, when the studio modernized its logo in 1936, they had a woman holding a torch, dressed in a gown.
My favourite? The 75th Anniversary version. Nice spacing of the letters, musical accompaniment suggesting someone saying "relax, it's a Universal picture, we know what we're doing", and so many stars... Their current one isn't too shabby either.
6:46 is my favorite. 14:35 is from the greatest Universal Picture ever conceived. 14:41 is from Jaws. and 14:56 is from "The Last Remake of Beau Geste"
Thanks. In my recent logo history videos, I have been adding text that inform the viewers of how long the logos were used for. Since this video is turning 4 years old soon, I am planning an updated version of this logo history on Universal Pictures.

You know when I was a little girl, I used to think that DreamWorks Pictures was older than Universal Pictures because of how the logos looked back then.
From 6:09 to 6:18, I can already assume that the 1936 logo that looked bluish was from the Woody Woodpecker cartoons. And guess what? Universal made the Woody Woodpecker movie (I mean the one in 2017).
I loved this compilation - great job, man! 20:49 is my favorite, the logo's from the early-mid 1990s, right? It's the one I remember from my childhood. Good visuals but fantastic theme!
I loved the 1936-1946 logo. But the version of that one I loved what the one where that random guy knocked down all the letters. It was pretty hilarious.
Greetings my friend, i like your logo history videos, all your videos are great, specially the 20th Century Fox and this one, but one thing, you forgot to put in this one the logo variants of 2 Fast 2 Furious, Ted and the Minions variant, that would be great to add. I just want to request, ¿Its possible you can make A Warner Bros Pictures Logo History? that is the one im looking for, thanks, good luck with your channel, peace and God bless, man!
at 12:34 obviously was from Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds I also remember from 1970 movie Pufsnstuf when Jack Wild mention in one of the songs about the world briefly appears the Universal logo but with no letters
Good old Universal. When Hollywood entered its Golden Era in the 1930s, Universal Pictures came dangerously close to going under. Founder Carl Laemmle and his son, Carl Jr., couldn't seem to find the right formula compete with the likes of MGM, Warners, Paramount, RKO and Fox. Because it didn't own theaters, it was in the same company with Columbia and United Artists as Hollywood's "Little Three." But a teenage girl named Deanna Durbin saved the studio with a string of hits. Some horror classics helped, too. By the 1950s, young stars like Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis lifted a bit and Hudson's partner in comedy, Doris Day, lifted the studio even more. But when Universal gave Steven Spielberg a chance, it finally competed with the big boys. Now, the studio is over 100 years old. RKO has been long gone since 1957, Mighty MGM is gone, too. Fox still makes good movies, but its owned by Walt Disney. Universal has survved.
Carl Laemmle wasn't really vain. Most accounts I've read term as a generous man. For one, he's responsible for sending money back to Germany to bring a relative named William Wyler to Hollywood. Universal is an industry giant now, but in 1936, the studio almost went under and Carl and his son were forced out.
You forgot uvifyducutcyrx4d6rrf7tc variant that was left on a cutting room floor in 1958 and never seen by anyone. Come on people, this is still an impressive collection.
Here after watching the more recent version:
th-cam.com/video/g_MexoLpI6c/w-d-xo.html
Carl Lemmele would be proud to see his pride and joy has lasted over a century.
That's Carl Laemmle.

I absolutely adore the Universal Pictures logo
George Ishaq who doesnt!!
"Did you like it? Write me your opinion!" That's pretty cool actually, I would've loved to write to Carl Laemmle about the studios' films back then :D
I also liked his closing credit "A good cast is worth repeating", so you could remember whose performance pleased you.
I love the ones from about 4:19 to 5:45. Beautiful mirror ball effect. Even more dramatic and stunning without the music.
goldpet66 I thought it was disco ball lol
goldpet66 they put the spinning globe music many times, but the 3rd is totally silent
I always wondered how they did that back in the days before the days of computer graphics.
It was painstaking to make that back then.
Exactly. It was all animated. For example, when I look at the 20th Century-Fox logo, it's probably the best example of old-time animation. The only ones which I don't think used animation were MGM and Columbia. In the case of Metro, there is the famous picture of Leo the Lion, they showed Leo posing before a microphone.

Jurassic Park: The Lost World was the first film to use the late 1990s Universal logo. Right at 22:15.
Still waiting for the movie to start, c'mon guys... ;)

Waterworld Variation, AWESOME!
You forgot the 'reversed' opening version from 1982's "E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial".
23:00 This version of the 1997 Universal logo was used on international full screen VHS and DVD Releases.
Universal logo is my favorite one
Jacob Whitehouse which era
Jacob Whitehouse Universal was with my favorite “Paramount”
Mine too.
My favourite? The 75th Anniversary version. Nice spacing of the letters, musical accompaniment suggesting someone saying "relax, it's a Universal picture, we know what we're doing", and so many stars...
Their current one isn't too shabby either.
I've always liked that one too, partially because I remember it debuted with Back to the Future Part 2 in the theater.
My logo favorite of Universal Pictures is from 1990 to 2010
actually it's 1997 to 2010
Victor Hernandez I mean both two logos
I liked the 1997-2011 and the 2012-current logos
Erik Garcia that's my childhood one
Nicole Marsden Jurassic Park: The Lost World was the first film to use the late 90s Logo.
6:46 is my favorite.
14:35 is from the greatest Universal Picture ever conceived.
14:41 is from Jaws.
and 14:56 is from "The Last Remake of Beau Geste"
This is a very great and comprehensive selection. I would appreciate some indication of when these logos were released and how long they lasted.
Thanks. In my recent logo history videos, I have been adding text that inform the viewers of how long the logos were used for. Since this video is turning 4 years old soon, I am planning an updated version of this logo history on Universal Pictures.
1:57
Sometimes, I feel just as chill as the plane in this logo.
that plane ain't chill it's like AHHHHH WHY IS THE EARTH SO TINY AHHHHHHHHH
A very, very nice compilation. I have enjoyed one and each second of the video.
Love the latest one-- loud horns, and the larger letters swinging around. You think the "U" is gonna hit you in the arm!!! Thanks for posting!

6:09 Woody Woodpecker is one of my Best Favorite Cartoon Franchise EVER!!! Guess Who?!! Hahaha HAA ha, Hahaha HAA ha, Hehehehehehehehehe!!!
In my opinion, the Universal International logos had the best music, which are from the scores of whatever movie it was.

IABI TV
Lol so true!
I Iove the music in the E.T 20th Anniversary Variant from 23:42 to 24:06.
Despicable Me was the 1st film to use the late 1990’s universal logo in widescreen
15:23 He broke the old Universal Pictures logo!
Golly. Imagine showing an early 90s Univeral logo to a 1940s film-goer. They'd *lose their minds.*
Logos In High Pitch (i.e. PAL Format) Always Annoy Me.
18:42 used in childs play 2
I like the 1997 to the 2012 version but I like the 20th anniversary edition from the 2002 release of et the extra trastual the best
You know when I was a little girl, I used to think that DreamWorks Pictures was older than Universal Pictures because of how the logos looked back then.

17:09 - The extended theme to the closing of Universal's Revue MCA-TV from the 1960's.
Universal studios, my favorite movie studio.
23:58 steven steillberg: NOPE
best logos ever
The Land Before Time was a classic
I loved this compilation - great job, man! 20:49 is my favorite, the logo's from the early-mid 1990s, right? It's the one I remember from my childhood. Good visuals but fantastic theme!
this is just all in all a really awesome job
I love Universal pictures theme😗😍👍🏻💙🎶🎼💲
15:32 i like how this man take off the letters from the globe
Make Universal Television logo history with all logos!
no
I think there is already a collection of Universal TV logos on here. Maybe 2.
Very good,,tank you
I loved the 1936-1946 logo. But the version of that one I loved what the one where that random guy knocked down all the letters. It was pretty hilarious.
Is this one from Dr. Seuss' The Lorax (2012)? (25:40-26:04)
Wyatt Osuba Well Yes. It was the first Universal Picture to have the logo.
11:11 The opening piano riff to Elmer Bernstein's classic score for "To Killa Mockingbird."
Where's the variation of Hop and Pitch Perfect 1 and 2?
These are very interesting to watch.
I know it's part of Universal, but did we really need the "Cat in the Hat" variation?
Robert Jindra time stamp?
Yes so people could understand the logo variant for one of Dr. Seuss' books. I can totally understand why so many people don't like that movie.
And people thought it would be better than How the Grinch Stole Christmas. That was a joke.
Where’s the Universal logo for Scott Pilgrim VS The World?
Gerardo Otero if you want to see the Universal logo variant for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), go check out LogosForTheWin for the answer.
🎵Universal now on Earth, Universal now on Earth, Universal now on Earth! Universal, Universal!🎵
11:41 These variations look so modern, they could play it now too
did I miss the 3d logo's for 'it came from outer space", creature from the black lagoon, revenge of the creature?
All CinemaScope Logo Locations:

15:26 So much horror
Very nice work
That's where the opening to "Jurassic Park" (1993) is in
18:45 I saw this is Back To The Future III, right?
Greetings my friend, i like your logo history videos, all your videos are great, specially the 20th Century Fox and this one, but one thing, you forgot to put in this one the logo variants of 2 Fast 2 Furious, Ted and the Minions variant, that would be great to add. I just want to request, ¿Its possible you can make A Warner Bros Pictures Logo History? that is the one im looking for, thanks, good luck with your channel, peace and God bless, man!
Sure, I'll be working on that one as soon as possible :)
Of Course, Man😉
Good job. It gives us a little picture of Hollywood history.
at 12:34 obviously was from Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds
I also remember from 1970 movie Pufsnstuf when Jack Wild mention in one of the songs about the world briefly appears the Universal logo but with no letters
This my logo from Ella the movie!😉
the 100th anniversary music is on as my alarm on my phone to get me up in the mornings cause its really loud

I like meet the Parents, Meet The Fockers & Little Fockers, Paul, Despicable Me Franchise, a Dog's Purpose and many more variation
1997 version was my childhood
6:10 It's From Woody Woodpecker!!
25:09辺りは「とある魔術の禁書目録」「とある科学の超電磁砲」シリーズや「ご注文はうさぎですか？？？」シリーズのDVDのオープニング(NBCユニバーサルエンターテインメントジャパン名義)でも流れております。
Universal pictures logo variation with mariachi band
I love 0:34 :) That's so awesome! Where did you find that one?

Universal
Internationals initials stand for
Ultra
Instinct
From 18:45 to 19:20 that’s the universal opening from Back to the future 3
Love it!!!!
4:34 that logo is glorious
Also the fact that some logos were in color made the mirror ball logo more beautiful
26:04 Where is that from again?
Felix Brown Probably _Oblivion_ (2013)
IABI TV what is Oblivion (2013) about?
@@WyattOsubaProductions Some Alien invasion sci fi movie by Tom Cruise. Like Edge of Tomorrow but with little action,aliens,and more bleak.
Why does the opening theme to the 1940's remind me of "Superman"?
2:05 what’s this from I need to find it. :-(
(10:50) 🎵🎵...Pillow Talk!🎶
11:27 CIC
I can’t see this logo without thinking about The Office (US).
@0:28, @1:06 "...but Carl's not vain, or anything like that; he truly _cares_ about these pictures!..."
Carl Laemmle wasn't really vain. Most accounts I've read term as a generous man. For one, he's responsible for sending money back to Germany to bring a relative named William Wyler to Hollywood. Universal is an industry giant now, but in 1936, the studio almost went under and Carl and his son were forced out.
Mi música favorita 13:07
8:57
Looks like 1995.
Dan P. Lyons not the music and the logo! But the first 90s logo is the 75
Whats the music?
Dan P. Lyons ,
(4:22-4:29) ...Live the music and the art-deco theme.
I liked the part where it showed the Universal logo.
17:13 is my favorite
You Forgot The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle Variation with Theme Song
1:31 nust have been from Trolley Troubles (Oswald the Lucky Rabbit)
*must
HEY LOOK A ANGRY BIRDS PIG COMMENTING ON TH-cam
These logos make me want to be a graphic designer
You forgot uvifyducutcyrx4d6rrf7tc variant that was left on a cutting room floor in 1958 and never seen by anyone.
Come on people, this is still an impressive collection.
I wanna watch Woody woodpecker because of all the logos
Nice one
16:21 was the best of all time! BTW where's the reversed E.T. variant?
18:58 CGI in 1990 was amazing at the time.
What was the last one?
