Universal Education and Visual Arts

Background

Universal Education and Visual Arts was the educational film production and distribution arm of Universal Pictures. It closed its doors in the early 1980s. Its competitors were Learning Corporation of America, Time-Life Films, Centron Corporation, Encyclopaedia Britannica Films, Coronet Films, and National Film Board of Canada.

Logo (1965?-early 1980s?)

Visuals: On a blue background is a white version of the 1963-1990 Universal Pictures logo. On the middle, the yellow words "UNIVERSAL EDUCATION AND VISUAL ARTS" and "presents" is seen below.

Variants:

A distribution variant exists. Here, the "UNIVERSAL EDUCATION AND VISUAL ARTS" is still in the middle, but shifted to bottom to make room for the words "Distributed by" on top.
A black and white version also exists.
Depending on the film, either in 16mm or digitized prints, the color may range from crayola blue-deep white, cerulean blue-silver/silver white to medium turquoise/pacific blue-silver/deep white, respectively.

Technique: A still card.

Audio: Silent, or the opening theme of the short or documentary film.

Availability: Most of their short films or documentaries have been lost, no logo at all, or have a in-credit notice at the start. The "presents" version was seen on Monet, while distribution variant was seen on At the Winter Sea Ice Camp - Part 4, among other films from the time.
