Background: NBC Universal Television is the television production/distribution arm of NBC Universal, created on May 12, 2004 by the merger of General Electric Company’s NBC and the entertainment division of Vivendi Universal, S.A., and was formed though the union of the Universal Studios and NBC production and distribution arms. This was the first time NBC adds the Universal name to its production and distribution arms. For Universal, it’s the second time that its production and distribution arms have a new name, since 1998 when Universal became Studios USA, but now the NBC name was added. All shows in production by either Universal TV, NBC, or USA Cable Entertainment changed to the NBC Universal logo starting on September 20, 2004.
(July 2004- )
Nickname: "Sunburst"
Logo: Over a golden burst of light hovering in space, the text "NBC UNIVERSAL," sandwiched between Universal's circular globe motif with the six-feathered peacock between "NBC" and "UNIVERSAL," in Cooperplate Gothic Bold font, slightly zoom out to its familiar distance.
Bylines: One of the several disclaimers fade in below:
- Television Studio (for network and cable programs; retired as of November 2, 2007.)
- Television Distribution (for first-run syndicated programs and off-network reruns)
Variants:
- On Medical Investigation, the the NBC Uni TV Studio logo featured the words "In association with" below "Television Studio".
- From November 5-9, 2007, April 21-27, 2008, and November 17-23, 2008, the NBC Universal Television Distribution logo was placed on a sky background with a URL "GreenIsUniversal.com" (in green, of course!) and green grass below the logo, with leaves falling off the logo and green butterflies flying past the logo, to celebrate "Green Week"/"Earth Week", observed by all NBC Uni properties that week; all of the television operations changed their bugs to feature a green tint (NBC, MSNBC, USA, etc.).
- On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brian, and Last Call with Carson Daly, the NBC Uni TV Studio logo featured the NBC Studios copyright stamp.
- On November 20, 2008, there is another variant of the "Green is Universal" variant. It features the 2007 Green Is Universal logo on the same background used on the 2007 Green is Universal background. The letters starts popping up one by one for the logo. We later see the wind blowing up the letters to form the slogan "Green Your Routine" underneath the logo.
FX: The logo zooming out.
Music/Sounds: A re-orchestration of the 1999 music plug from the 1996 NBC Studios logo.
Music/Sound Variants:
- On The Martha Stewart Show, the end title theme played over this logo.
- Several series used the 1999 NBC Studios theme.
- Several other series used the 2nd theme from NBC Studios in 2000. (i.e. post-2004 Will and Grace and Starting Over eps.)
- There is also a silent version that appeared on Complete Savages.
Availability: Common; the "Television Distribution" variant appears on shows such as Jerry Springer, Maury, The Martha Stewart Show, The Steve Wilkos Show, TV One Access on TV One, Access Hollywood in local syndication, and reruns of Law & Order: Criminal Intent on Bravo and local reruns of Saved by the Bell. The "Television Studio" version is fairly common and it pops up frequently on reruns of Law and Order: SVU on USA Network and Bravo and 2004-2007 episodes of Monk on USA, House on FOX, and among other shows on several other networks such as Sci Fi, TNT, USA, and Sleuth.
Scare Factor: None.

I just saw the logo! It had the words "UNIVERSAL MEDIA STUDIOS" on a globe dome, in a yellow aura. "MEDIA STUDIOS" was under "UNIVERSAL"
The music and graphics were awesome! |
