Logo: On a space background with the overhead view of the Earth at the bottom, a three-dimensional UFA logo flies in from the top-right in a tilted position, leaving thick solid red-yellowish-white trail with some plastic glare, then "UFA präsentiert:" in the typewriter font wipes in below. The logo and text fade out, leaving the space background, and the words: "Einen kurzen Blick in die große UFA-Video-Welt" would fade in with the same font as before.

FX/SFX: The logo flying in and the words typing in. Good 70's animation.

Music/Sounds: A high string note breaking into the triumphant fanfare accompanied by the swoosh.

Availability: Extremely rare.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd (known) Logo (1980's)

Logo: We zoom through the void of space, suddenly a pink laser comes in from the top-left and hits the near bottom-right corner, forming the grid floor. The horizon flashes and the grid shines, afterwards, the purple shimmering glowing rhombus rises from the horizon to the near-top, the light ping rises from the left corner of the rhombus to the top and shatters, revealing the familiar signature logo inside the blue rhombus, then the red outline wipes in quickly from the top followed by the white outline wiping in from the bottom. However, the logo zooms in and lowers a little, and the text quickly dissolves in below the rhombus, reading: UNIVERSUM FILM präsentiert

FX/SFX: The grid, rhombus, and the space background.

Music/Sounds: A spacey synth tune that turns turn into a dramatic fanfare. Whooshes and crashes are heard throughout.

Availability: Rare, was seen on German tapes.

Editor's Note: The synth tune suddenly turning to a dramatic one and the effects used will scare some.
