USA Network Originals

1st Logo (1980-1992)
Logo: On a white background, we see the red text "USA" in a Futura font, and below it was the text "NETWORK", also in a Futura font.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the logo is in-credit.
 * An all-white version of the logo exists.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Rare. Seen on several USA originals, not all of that had the logo. It was kept on Bumper Stumpers and The Hitchhiker.

2nd Logo (1992?-1996?)
Logo: Against a gray stone background, we see the USA Network logo below a box with the text "PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH", and they both slowly zoom in.

Variant: On Pacific Blue, the logo appears on a red background.

Technique: Not much animation.

Music/Sounds: A gentle, 4-note synth tune. On the red background variant, it's silent.

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.

3rd Logo (1996-1998?)
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.

Variant: There is a short version.

Technique: CGI and live-action footage.

Music/Sounds: A majestic two-note fanfare, ending with a harp crescendo. Sometimes, it 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 Silk Stalkings, 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.

4th Logo (1998-1999)
Logo: On a black background, the 1996-1999 USA Network logo fades in.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen only on Happy Hour.

5th Logo (1999-2000)
Logo: On a black background, the 1999-2002 USA Network logo wipes in. It keeps zooming, while the logo wipes into various sizes.

Variant: On the G vs. E pilot, the logo is still.

Technique: Computer animation.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Rare. It was seen on The Stalking of Laurie Show and the pilot of G vs. E.

6th Logo (1999-2000)
Logo: On a black background, a flash zooms out, revealing it was the 1999-2002 USA Network logo from the era, zooming out, and a light shines. The word "NETWORKS" in spaced-out letters blurs in, and a light shines around the logo.

Variant: Sometimes, the URL is shown below the logo.

Technique: Computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A harp theme, which ends in a piano sounder.

Availability: Rare. It was seen on the first season of G vs. E, as well as Journey to the Center of the Earth.
