I'm an 80s girl, I was born in the 1980s, I'm also a big universal movies fan, I've an entire collection of universal movies, both, VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray, and my favorite universal movies is, Darkman, Beethoven, Jetsons the movie, the land before time, we're back a dinosaur's story, back to the future part 2 and 3,Problem Child, etc, etc.
Yes! And when he died in 2015 Universal should’ve used the tune in honor of him. Legend. You should watch Horner in Vienna. A special tribute to their “lost son” they called him.

I mean, the cumulative data of several thousand years worth of cartography, particularly from the age of sail onward meant they knew at very least what and where all of the larger landmasses were, and the size and shape of the earth have been known by mathematicians ever since Eratosthenes calculated them in around 250 B.C. It's not exactly rocket science to figure it out from there.
Those first two logos bring back happy memories of my childhood. When I was a kid in the '60s and early '70s the classic Universal horror movies of the '30s and '40s were shown on T.V. many Saturday afternoons.
Whenever I see the art deco style Universal crystal globe I always think back to those classic horror movies you mentioned that were produced during those years of the '30s to '40s. I was a '50s/'60s kid and usually saw those old movies late on Saturday nights.
The music played during the Universal Studio's Globe opening sequence in this video montage is not the original famous recording of Jimmy McHugh's music composition, but is a different orchestra playing the well-known theme music.
+Matthew Osborne Most of the pre-1927 logos were on silent films and a lot of those, especially with the first two logos, were either destroyed or are in the public domain.
Last night was very exciting for me, since I went to see the 40th anniversary re-release of Jaws. At the beginning, Logo 4 popped up and I can't describe my excitement at seeing it on the big screen!
Ever since i was a little kid and developed a strong passion for movies, universal pictures has always been my favorite film studio of all time because although there are probably other film studios out there that have had a stronger impact on cinema history, the movies that universal make have a certain indescribable magic that really needs to be seen to be believed. Whether the genre is horror, comedy, drama, si fi, adventure, once you experience the magic of a universal picture, it will change the way you think of movies forever.
Wow, these old logos were so wonderful back then.. I'm born in 1996 but I prefer more the logo of 1997 - 2012 because I was used to it, but those were so good tho :)
I wonder how in 1927, they had an image of the globe before the German V-2 rocket captured the first image, in 1946. And also, before the infamous, "Marbled Earth." Photo taken in 1972, released by NASA. I know about data mapping, and cartography. I also know it takes thousands of years of history and exploration to conclude such details about the unknown. Even through speculation and estimated guesses, they certainly got the model of it down wayyy before any hard evidence of the image came to be. That strikes me as odd.
If you're talking about the 100th Anniversary variant, I actually think the high pitch gives the logo more power. It shows dramatic emphasis, if you know what I mean. Impressive accident on Comicfreak's part...
I have wondered this for decades: How was that 1936 mirror ball logo shot? My son and I looked at it in slow motion on a big screen TV over and over, and we just can't figure out how those art deco letters seemingly float in space encircling the ball and how those stars are all spinning on their axis. There is a visible ridge of some kind on the mirror ball - but you don't see anything connecting the letters to it. And what sort of mechanism produced all those spinning stars? And where in this image were they? Are we seeing real spinning stars or a reflection of them from somewhere else? This thing was a special effects masterpiece!
+Wes Clark - It sure is, I would love to know how this was set up, the stars and the deco letters all move in unison with the globe so they must all be somehow attached,
The new one from 2012 looks awesome! ^^ But frankly, my favorite is the logo that lasted from 1963 to 1990. It just feels more epic, more nostalgic. You know what I mean? :3
2:24 What ive grown up watching is this theme. Im 12 and its hard to believe that a company *SINCE 1912 April 30!* has lived to see the year 2016... But its true.
logo 6
so many memories
so many memories
Gazment Haruni logo 5 is good also but 6 is the best
Gazment Haruni ikr
A lot... Ah.. the very first Despicable Me..
lol
The best intro to any company ever
I remember how much I got goosebumps when I first saw the new logo in theatre. It still does... :')
I'm an 80s girl, I was born in the 1980s, I'm also a big universal movies fan, I've an entire collection of universal movies, both, VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray, and my favorite universal movies is, Darkman, Beethoven, Jetsons the movie, the land before time, we're back a dinosaur's story, back to the future part 2 and 3,Problem Child, etc, etc.
Every time I hear the 100th anniversary intro I get chills! It's amazing
When you see the universal logo you know your in for a good show.
Yea for real, it gets me real hyped 😂
back to the future... love
Demitro my favourite franchise from Steven Spielberg and Universal Pictures
Nope , I the New Line Cinama gives that chillls
Yep just too bad they didn't buy Star Wars instead of that stupid Disney.
The 80's and 90's movies made by this exact company are just the best they've ever made
Who agrees?
Blues Brothers, An American Werewolf In London, Halloween 2, Conan The Barbarian, E.T, The Thing, Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Totally agree.
@@yelladude6969 yup universal and Warner are my favorites
Yes I totally agree.
Don't forget Gladiator (2000)
Definitely like the 1991-1997 one the best! Love that James Horner tune...
Yes! And when he died in 2015 Universal should’ve used the tune in honor of him. Legend. You should watch Horner in Vienna. A special tribute to their “lost son” they called him.
Does anyone else just love the 100th anniversary logo, every time I hear the music behind it, it gives me chills
i like the 75th anniversary one
0:04 The Man who laughs (1928)
0:16 House of Frankenstein (1944)
0:31 Creature from The Black Lagoon (1954)
0:58 Monsters Go Home! (1966)
1:08 Childs Play 2 (1990)
1:44 The Nutty Professor (1996)
2:05 Scream 3 (1999)
1:02 that ones at the beginning of my Back To The Future DVDs
That's what I'm watching right now lmao. Had to look it up to see when they changed the music
I wonder if the plane in the first logo was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's Atlantic flight.
Max Power ; I think so.
The world looked very different then.
Logo 5 is the best for me. It's the ambience that surrounds it sets you up for an exciting movie experience, but also captures the 90s quite well.
Logo 5's Music Pitch Sounded Better Than The Original
Universal Pictures' logo underwent wonderful transformations to one of the most spectacular presentations ever made for any company.
Hearing the 1990/1991 version makes me want to watch a gosh darn movie
The 75th Anniversary Variant sounds more majestic high pitched.
So if the first Space mission was in 1957,then how did we know what the earth looked like from space in 1927? Lol who knows
I mean, the cumulative data of several thousand years worth of cartography, particularly from the age of sail onward meant they knew at very least what and where all of the larger landmasses were, and the size and shape of the earth have been known by mathematicians ever since Eratosthenes calculated them in around 250 B.C. It's not exactly rocket science to figure it out from there.
It's called math
@@gdevine5576 haha the eery thing is the future logos look exactly like the pictures of earth we have now
now is 2020, 21 century and we still DON'T have ONE single REAL photo of earth from space nor one single satellite!
It’s called indoctrination
Whenever Universal's logo appears, you know the movie's gonna be great.
75th anniversary one will always be my fave!

1936 logo is so much SWAG!
Yes ❤🧡😊👌
@@rachelblanche2907 😊😊

+7Lukibi99Tore7
That's the Miklos Rozsa version from _Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid_ (1982).
Lol how did they know how the earth looked like in 1927 when we didn't go to space until 42 years later. 🤔
Because space is fake lol
I'm pretty sure we had globes before we went into space
why does it say 1927? universal pictures started in 1912.
Yeah, but Universal never had a proper logo.
+Matthew Osborne
Most of the pre-1927 logos were on silent films and a lot of those, especially with the first two logos, were either destroyed or are in the public domain.
so the earliest suriving logo is the 1914-1919 logo perhaps
The original was just the words "Universal" with a black background.
Very true. That's why their 100th Anniversary was this year. They had logos from 1912-27, But I couldn't find them!
90-97, very nostalgic and almost completely forgot about it
Wow, I hear the Superman march theme by John Williams in the second logo music
John Williams conducted the theme in 1978. It was Universal that HAD it first.
Last night was very exciting for me, since I went to see the 40th anniversary re-release of Jaws. At the beginning, Logo 4 popped up and I can't describe my excitement at seeing it on the big screen!
75th Anniversary logo will always be my favorite
Awesome studio, awesome intros. Can't think of any company with a better intro..
This is the best intro ever made...
That music is amazing
1997-2012! I'm really nostalgic for that one.
So beautiful.
We still always see the one from may 23, 1997 like if u see it all the times too😂👌🏽❤️
Likebeggar
Last one is my favourite but without the high pitched sound.

How does the first logo predate the first picture of earth from space??
I love the first anniversary one, music is awesome and bringing back the old logos. I remember when we first saw it and everybody went, "cooool."
Logo 4 and 5 ... a punch right in the nostalgia feels
1:44 is my favourite
Logo #4 brings back the memories in my childhood ;u;
Wait! What year were you born in though?! :o
They get better and better with each new design
The next new design will probably be really brilliant
All the music on the logos are high pitch. While the 1997 one is low pitch.
The 1920s logo is used film such as the trailer for Casper (1995), Balto III (2004) and the horror films for 2005 and 2007.
100th anniversary logo last appeared on January 18th,2013
I'll update the video soon. Thank you!
Well, in a few other films from then it was used- Mostly to set a tone of being in the distant past.
1991-1997 is my favorite, brings me back
100th anniversery logo is awsome!and shiny in a animated way :)
The music also sounds awsome.but I like with a bass bost better.
Logo 1, many memories with many great horror films.
Wow, these old logos were so wonderful back then.. I'm born in 1996 but I prefer more the logo of 1997 - 2012 because I was used to it, but those were so good tho :)
Nice job, thanks.(I've always preferred the one with the little airplane.)
My favourite one has to be logo 2
The last two Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes films had the "Art Deco" logo, but had a theme other than the Jimmy McHugh jingle usually heard.
I love both logo 5 and 6, I grew up with both
Logo #2 has always been my favorite.
i like the high pitch man!
Cool! Why did you change the pitches of the music? Is it to avoid getting blocked and sued? Anyhow, thanks for posting!
Last one always gives me chills
The pitch change used to avoid copyright was unnessesary since none of the sound tracks or animation were copyrighted.
I remember back to the future 3 on vhs using all of the logos until the 1990 version
I LOVE IT!!!!

2nd Logo was extended to 1947 for the Walter Lantz Cartunes before moving to United Artists and back to Universal-International in 1950.
If you're talking about the 100th Anniversary variant, I actually think the high pitch gives the logo more power. It shows dramatic emphasis, if you know what I mean. Impressive accident on Comicfreak's part...
i like logo6
it makes me feel so ancient

The 5th is my favorite one
That intro has gone through so many changes
Logo 6 is the one I grew up with.
0:16 How on earth did they make this version??
I remember there was a logo 4 version that had the background music from logo 2.
thanks fo video)
Logo 5 is the best, remember me universal films of the 90's (Jurassic Park and many authers)..
They showed all their logos back to back it's like they were full of themselves at the time.
How the fuck did they animate that stuff back in 1927??
joenasjo they would've painted stuff on the lenses of the camera and the aircraft was probably a model aircraft on a string.
joenasjo no fucking clue
joenasjo Computers made of asbestos.
Clay tablets, chalk, water, paint and a 100 shilling camera
Cool
how do you know the shape of the world? you were gone to space in 1961 the first time..
or were you planned ahead?
The new one from 2012 looks awesome! ^^
But frankly, my favorite is the logo that lasted from 1963 to 1990. It just feels more epic, more nostalgic. You know what I mean? :3
Yeah.
LOGO 7 WAS AMAZING EPIC AND AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh, I love the Universal intros.
congrulation for universal picture.. i wish they have a logo very cool
the last one oooh goosebumps... :)
Sued means somebody takes you to court and accuses you of taking their copyrighted property.
NBC+Universal=NBCUniversal
I love the one on Jurassic park and also the one on back to the future 1 and 2
Got chills at #7
don't forget the end logo used on some movies (Jaws) to remind moviegoers to visit their theme parks and ask for babs.
Universal studios always was my favorite opening
1:07 oh my god i love this ONE SO MUCH SOUNDS AMAZZZZZING THAN THE ONE NOW WISH THIS ONE WAS STILL IN MOVIES
2:44 BOOOO!!!!!!!!
BTW, this actually sounds quite nice in the key of A instead of D.
1:21 I missed this so much!
Logo 4 is the intro in Ouija: Origen Or Evil
Christian Tanoue True. I saw the movie about a hundred million times. My favourite is Logo 4.
The 2nd one and the 7th one is my favorite one.
2:20 BOOOOO!!!
2:44 Yaaaaaayy!!!
I particularly remember the 75th anniversary version at the onset of Back to the Future: Part 3
Tristan:the music's in high pitched because I don't want to get sad lol
Dude, why did you put alternate versions on Universal logo history?
Logos 4 and 6 are my favorites.
2:24
What ive grown up watching is this theme. Im 12 and its hard to believe that a company *SINCE 1912 April 30!* has lived to see the year 2016...
