Universal Studios Florida

1st Logo (1989-1993)
Logo: Simply the Universal Studios Florida logo of the time. Text regarding the filming location is above.

Variants:
 * This logo appears in-credit on Orlando-based episodes of Super Sloppy Double Dare.
 * Swamp Thing has this logo against a black background.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Can be seen on Swamp Thing on Me-TV. All reruns of Super Sloppy Double Dare taped in Universal keep this logo intact.

2nd Logo (Late 1989?-March 28, 1991)


Logo: We start on a black background while the music begins to play, and then we see clips of classic and then-contemporary Universal Pictures movies (including Jetsons: The Movie, E.T., Jaws and Harry and the Hendersons) inside the letters "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS" which scroll across the screen on the same background. As the letters are scrolling, a male announcer tells us a basic description of Universal Studios Florida. As the letters finish scrolling, the 1990s Universal Studios theme park logo zooms out, revealing a city skyline with moving searchlights (likely representing Hollywood). A blue-ish spark (which is likely supposed to be a male fairy) then writes the word "Florida" in pink signature and underlines it (making the finalized logo "Universal Studios Florida"). The logo's border shines while the searchlights keep moving until we cut to black.

Technique: A combo of CGI and live-action.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic orchestral piece that becomes majestic toward the end, with the announcer talking over it.

Music/Sounds Variant: Starting in 1990 (most likely after Universal Studios Florida opened), the announcer tells us a different description; here, he starts speaking almost immediately after the letters start scrolling.

Availability: Can be seen on all MCA/Universal Home Video VHS tapes from at least late 1989 through 1991. It also appeared on some Hanna-Barbera Home Video tapes in 1990 (usually following a promo for The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera). The last tape to have it was White Palace.

3rd Logo (1998-2002)


Logo: Same as the Universal Studios Theme Parks logo, but "THEME PARKS" is replaced with "FLORIDA".

Technique: Same as the Universal Studios Theme Parks logo.

Music/Sounds: Either the music of the commercial or none.

Availability: Unknown.
