1st Logo
Nickname:"Blinking Negatives" Logo: It looks just like the 1962 Revue "Blinking Negatives" logo, without the additional animation. The company name flickers 6 times, during the first 5 bars of the fanfare and makes a stop during the rest of the jingle. The phrase is "filmed at universal city, MCA-TV EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTOR" with a small MCA logo bug next to the distributor's byline (which was outside the logo as always).

- (October 7, 1973-1980) Visuals: Same backdrop as the previous logo, but the phrase was shortened again to... FROM. UNIVERSAL. AN MCA COMPANY. This time, "UNIVERSAL" is in the same font as used in that era's movie logo and also appears textured (in fact, this looks like a still of the 1963-1990 movie logo, with MCA information added in afterwards).
- (September 14, 1975-October 29, 1991) Visuals: Same as the previous logo, but with a few differences: The font color seems to be mainly white, ivory, pink, or yellow (though this may be due to film deterioration), while still a bit planetary.

Universal-International Television was a short-lived division of Universal Pictures, prior to the merger with MCA. This is one of the rarest and most confusing logos ever made.
Universal Media Studios (which is for the first time since 2007) reverted back to its original moniker name, Universal Television on September 12, 2011, along with a redesigned logo and new staff.
