Universal Studios Tour

Background
Universal Parks & Resorts is the theme park subsidary of NBCUniversal. It owns and operates the well-renowned Universal Studios theme parks around the world.

(1963-1991; May 27, 1994; April 28, 2000; November 8, 2019)
Logo: On a blue background, we see the pre-1990's Universal Studios logo in a yellow circle with a black outline. The black outline turns red with a white outline with the text "THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER OF THE WORLD" as well as six stars (three on each side) surrounding it. The logo then fades into artwork featuring a palm tree with a GlamorTram and a backlot facade along with the text "When in Hollywood Visit Universal Studios".

Variants:
 * Depending on the film, the tint of the text and background may vary.
 * There is a short version of the bumper where it starts with the "Visit Universal Studios" slide. This appears on such films as American Graffiti and An American Werewolf in London.
 * On films directed by John Landis, the words "(Ask for Babs)" fade in below.
 * Sometimes, the words "PRODUCED AT" and "CALIFORNIA, U.S.A." are respectively above and below the Universal Studios logo. This variant starts with a blank background and has the Universal Studios logo zooming in along with the text within a second or two. This can be seen on productions filmed at Universal Studios, as opposed to being merely produced or released by Universal.
 * Early in its life, "CITY" was placed next to "STUDIOS" and it zooms in. The next slide reads "WHEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA VISIT UNIVERSAL CITY STUDIOS" with a cameraman and people and (very hardly) film actors in it.
 * The short version was parodied in both The Flintstones and its prequel, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. Here, the text is in stone, reads "WHEN IN HOLLYROCK VISIT UNIVERSHELL STUDIOS", and has an overall different design.
 * On the 1981 DiscoVision release of The Wiz and the 1990 MCA Home Video VHS of The Hindenburg, only the first screen is shown.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme.

Availability: Seen at the end of theatrical prints of Universal movies until 1991 such as Back to the Future, Smokey and the Bandit, The Burbs, and Firestarter (1984), as well as on the 1984 MCA Home Video VHS reissue of The Funhouse (the original 1981 MCA Videocassette, Inc. release leaves it off), the 1991 VHS release of Cape Fear (1962), the 2021 Powerhouse Films Blu-ray of Eye of the Cat, and HBO Now's print of All of Me, which was a Kings Road release (it also appears on the Thorn EMI Video release and subsequent HBO/Cannon Video reissue). The John Landis variant is retained on all home releases of films that use it (namely National Lampoon's Animal House, The Blues Brothers, An American Werewolf in London, and Into the Night). The logo also made a surprise reappearance on theatrical screenings of Last Christmas (2019).

Editor's Note: None.

(1991-December 22, 1999, 2007-February 24, 2012)
Logo: We see searchlights moving on a city skyline with the 1990s Universal Studios theme park logo in and the words "Hollywood & Florida" in  script. The outlining border shines.

Variants:
 * On Action Man, the words "PRODUCTION FACILITIES PROVIDED BY" are above the logo.
 * A variant exists where "SEE THE STARS AND RIDE THE MOVIES!" is under the logo.
 * On Blues Brothers 2000, the original white text fades out and "(ASK FOR BABS)" appears underneath instead.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Appears at the end of Universal films in theaters from 1991 to 1999, and from 2007 to 2012, such as Hard Target, Jurassic Park (1993), Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Fast & Furious (2009), and Despicable Me (2010). On home video, it can be seen on the 2022 Kino Lorber Studio Classics Blu-ray of Man on the Moon.

Editor's Note: None.

(December 29, 1999-2007)
Logo: On a black starry space background, the Universal globe (slighty less-detailed from the 1997 Universal Pictures logo) glows and eases back slightly as a ring revolves with "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS" above it and "THEME PARKS" below. The text shimmers while rotating and when it rest, the "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS" shines.

FX/SFX: The ring, the shining and shimmering, the glowing behind the globe.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme to the program or none.

Availability: Seen at the end of Universal films in theaters from 1999 to 2007, such as The Hurricane, Erin Brockovich, and Gladiator. It was also seen in the beginning of the promo on the 1999 VHS of More Barney Songs.

Editor's Note: None.

(March 2, 2012- )
Logo: We fade into a far-right, zoomed-in shot of the 1997-inspired Universal globe and starfield. A white flash brightens, which is then followed by the word "UNIVERSAL" appearing from behind the globe and circling around it. As the text moves to its center position, a golden arc segues in and rotates into the view of the camera, stopping at the bottom of "UNIVERSAL" and revealing "PARKS & RESORTS" underneath. After the camera pans out to its usual distance, the arc shines and reflects the globe and text as they both cast a shadow behind it. The URL address (also in ) finally appears under the globe before the logo fades out.

Trivia:
 * Despite the globe, text, and background being based on the 1997 Universal Pictures logo, the animation is reminiscent of the one from 1990, albeit at a faster speed.
 * The finished product looks identical to the Universal Parks & Resorts print logo that was used from 2002-2015.

Variant: At the end of theatrical prints of Candyman (2021), the logo is still.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Current. It can be seen on theatrical prints of most Universal films after the credits since 2012 such as Ouija (2014), Despicable Me 3, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Halloween (2018), and A Dog's Journey, along with theatrical screenings of movies produced by DreamWorks Animation beginning in 2019 including How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Abominable, and The Boss Baby: Family Business. Also appears at the end of the new 2021 Shout! Factory 4K UHD Blu-ray of Krampus: The Naughty Cut, which marks the logo's official debut on home media.

Editor's Note: An interesting mix of the 1997 Universal logo's aesthetics with the 1990's animation. Unfortunately, the logo's strict use for theatrical presentations dooms it to obscurity. It's also worth noting the discrepancy in branding, with the globe and text inspired by the 1997 logo being used in contrast to the 2012 one (similar to the Universal Animation Studios logo).
