Universal Cartoons

Not to be confused with Universal Animation Studios.

1st Logo (September 2, 1929-1931)
Logo: It's almost the same as the movie logo of the 1920s, except it's a cartoon version and a still logo.

Variant: Another variant of the logo was kept intact on Oswald's mid-30s Universal shorts. The "The End" is seen on the upper left corner, and the globe, with clouds, is seen on the lower right corner, as in some of the movies from the 1930s. The words "IT'S A UNIVERSAL CARTOON" in capital letters overlap the globe.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the cartoon.

Availability: Commonly seen at the end of the Walter Lantz-produced Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons.

2nd Logo (1932-1936)
Logo: Unknown.

Technique: The earth moving.

Music/Sounds: See 1st logo.

Availability: Seen on cartoons from that era.

3rd Logo (1938-1947)
Logo: Same as the movie logo. On later cartoons this is in color and is blue-tinted.

Variant: On Air Raid Warden (1942), Ration Bored and Pass the Biscuits Mirandy! (both 1943), the second ending is shown with the phrase "BUY MORE WAR BONDS FOR VICTORY". The latter has a plate of grenade biscuits replace “The End”.

Closing Titles: On a blue, red or customized background, "A WALTER LANTZ CARTUNE" is seen above the screen in very small letters. Below the text, the following variants:
 * The early ending involved some credits and "The End" on the bottom.

 * The third variant, more common than the other, the "The End" is smaller and the Screen Cartoonists Guild logo is seen on the bottom.
