1st Logo (2013-2017)

Visuals: On a white floored background, there is the blue USA logo zooming in and turning. Then, the "a" changes into an "o" as "original" forms, before the entire logo zooms out.

Variant: At the end of USA Network programs, the logo is shown at the bottom in a small format, with the USA Network Media Productions copyright stamp seen below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A calming piano with a whoosh sound, or the end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on USA Network's original programming at the time.

2nd Logo (2017-2021)

Visuals: On a black background, a red line stretches to the whole screen with a black line drawing from the left, which then stretches to the whole screen. A white line then draws in the middle, from which the USA logo slides up, and the word "ORIGINAL" slides down.

Variant: At the end of USA Network programs, the logo is shown at the bottom in a small format, with the copyright stamp seen below.

Technique: 2D computer animation by Loyalkaspar.

Audio: A three-note piano with a car driving sound, or the end theme of the show.

-Nickname: "USA Studios", "The Fountain"

+[[Category:Universal]]
-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.
