Background

After the opening of Universal Studios Florida in 1990, the two theme parks in both Universal Studios Hollywood and Florida needed to have a unified branding, thus leading to the creation of the combined Universal Studios Hollywood & Florida branding. In 1999, the brand was renamed to Universal Studios Theme Parks brand.

Visuals: The logo starts with searchlights moving, a la 20th Century Studios, on a city skyline with the 1990s Universal Studios theme park logo in yellow and the words "Hollywood & Florida" in pink 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 (directed by John Landis), the original white text fades out and "(ASK FOR BABS)" appears underneath instead.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: None.
