'''Nicknames:''' "Boring NBCUniversal", "The Boring Line"

'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see the word "{{color|purple|NBCUniversal}}" in its corporate font and "{{color|gray|INTERNATIONAL}}" zooming and fading in. Then, a {{color|gray}} line draws itself in, and the word "{{color|gray|STUDIOS}}" slides down from the line.


'''Variants:'''
'''Variants:'''
* A short version exists starting with the line drawing.
*A still version exists.
*Sometimes, this logo also shares the screen with other logos (including the 2021 [[BBC Productions|BBC]] logo).
* Another version exists where the animation is on a black background and the whole text is in white.
* An in-credit version exists.
* Sometimes, the logo is still on a black background with the text in white.
* On ''You, Me and the Apocalypse'', the logo is next to the 2016 Sky Group logo on a white background.

'''FX/SFX:''' The zooming, text fading in and the line drawing.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None, or the closing theme of the show. On the Thailand version of ''Still Standing'', there is a loud whoosh at the beginning.

'''Availability:'''
* It was seen on shows produced by its labels such as ''The Real Housewives of Sydney'', ''London Spy'' and ''Hyde & Seek'', among others.
* This logo also appears on then-new seasons of current shows which are ''Top Chef Canada'', ''The Real Housewives of Melbourne'' and ''The Real Housewives of Cheshire''.
* ''Silence, on joue!'' (the Quebec adaptation to ''Hollywood Game Night'') still uses this logo as of 2022.

'''Editor's Note:''' This logo pales even in comparison to the panned [[NBCUniversal Television#2nd Logo (March 5, 2011- )|2011 NBCUniversal]] logo, which while simple and plain bad, at least still has a nicely-done background, and a nice fanfare (although it was reused).

'''Logo:''' On a black background, two {{color|purple}} electric rays shoot down somewhere in the screen. Then, the screen zooms out and a bunch of electric rays shoot down, as the word "NBCUniversal" in its corporate font, appears one-by-one at where the electric rays shoot. When the electric rays end, "NBCUniversal" and its reflection fully appears and changes color into {{color|purple}}. At the same time, we see a black glass model word "INTERNATIONAL" and its reflection appear, and it changes color to white. A white line draws itself in, and an electric ray transforms into the word "STUDIOS" after that.

'''Variants:'''
*On the company's official YouTube upload of the logo, the line and "STUDIOS" are missing.
*An in-credit version exists.
*There is a longer version of this logo.
*It sometimes shares the screen with other logos.
*On Netflix’s Tales of the City, the logo appears below the 2011 Universal Television logo.

'''FX/SFX:''' Everything in the logo. Nice special effects.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A synth tune with some electric sounds at the beginning, and a whoosh sound at the end.

'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
* On an episode of ''The Real Housewives of Cheshire,'' we hear a lot of whoosh sounds and a chime sound at the end.
* There is a high-pitched version on an episode of ''Gone''.
* On another episode of ''The Real Housewives of Cheshire'', it uses the show's closing theme.
* Sometimes, the theme is re-arranged.

'''Availability:''' Common.
* Seen on new shows produced from this company from 2017 onwards such as ''Hanna'', ''Tales of the City'', ''Gone'', ''Fires'' and ''Transplant''.
* It also appeared on new seasons of returning shows which are ''Top Chef Canada'', ''The Real Housewives of Melbourne'' and ''The Real Housewives of Cheshire''.
* With the rebrand to Universal International Studios, this logo's days might be numbered.

'''Editor's Note:''' A much better animated effort than both the previous logo and the 2011 NBCUniversal logo.
