Lord Buddha the God of heaven, please send us all back to earth, turn back time and change the past to before 2000’s as in September 26, 1999 when I was a 2 year old so I can speak with my first words, singing a song, exercising, watch education tv shows, reading, counting, learning, writing, playing outside, games and toys, spend more time family from my old home in Sterling, and friends who are typical average ability regular kids from Sterling elementary school with me with typical average regular ability when I was a 5 year old in 2002 and get iPhone 1 when I was a 9 year old in 2007 so they go to Sterling Middle School and Parkview High School with me when I was a 12 year old in 2009 and a 15 year old in 2012 to avoid Autism and become a typical average regular person in my new life as a second chance.
At the start of the early 2000's until the present, they really build it up to sound so grand and epic. Plus, with computer technology constantly improving, they're making the Earth look more realistic which does add to the scale. While on the other hand, the theme music during the 1990's had a more whimsical feel to it. Like you're getting ready to make way on some magical journey. Actually when you think about it, it's sort of similar to the old Walt Disney melody. For as iconic as the current theme is today, I'll always keep going back the 90's version.
Not just the early 2000s, but the start of a brand new millennium, one that generations have been waiting for. That's why people went all out on these things by 1999-2000.

Yeah… don’t get me wrong I still like the current day universal music but the 90s one was on a different level especially the early 90s one showing all the previous ones up to the at the time current one
The modern 100 year anniversary Universal Intro has long been immortalized in my heart as one of the signs of my youth and fond memories. In some movies I just loop the intro for me because this intro builds hype. Even though the 2000s one was my first
Especially the 2012-2013 one. A montage of past Universal logos set on emotional music to reflect how long of a company has gone,and then the epic entry of the new logo. Dang that's deep xd
Same. I have decided to watch the festive animations we got on dvd (they have my fave universal intro), and the rest of those short films on YT, because it's always a struggle to keep up with live broadcasts.
So much nostalgia here takes me back to the great 90s . The 75th Anniversary tickles me back to my childhood when I saw Back to The Future 3, especially at 4:58 the score (One Last Wish) from Casper 1995 composed by the great James Horner. Then the 100th Anniversary at 5:41 I loved this so much. Our technology has grown with each decade.
1993 thru the 90’s version will always be the best for me. Epic, yet classy and subtle at the same time. Still beautifully shot on film yet with that beautiful transition of “old film” and newer clarity that only 90’s film stock had. Be still my heart.
2000s universal logo just seems so proud that it made it *that* far into its existance and became one of the best logo ever. They knew it too since we still use it today, and it's the longest logo still going.
As a kid who was born in 87 and grew up in 90s, i love that 1993-2000 intro, looks beautiful and calm yet majestic music. And I could see the country i lived back then, Malaysia one of the first country appear in the intro. And growing up watching mostly american movies, i always daydreamed living in USA and living the life like the american kids in the movies; going to school without wearing school unifor, play baseball or american football, or cycling down the suburbs with other kids. Nostalgic. I wish to visit US soon
I loved the crystal ball icon and always waited for it before an Abbot and Costello movie... All of those logos are dynamic. The last one the graphics are so realistic I feel the "U" will bump into my arm!! Thanks for posting!!
I love the 1960-2000 logos. They remind me of my childhood when I would go through my dad old VHS tape collection and when we would go to blockbuster to pick out a movie to watch as a family. Probably shouldn't have watched some of the R rated stuff but TBH most of the adult stuff went over my head.
3:45-3:50 actually, the 1990 universal logo ended in 1997, after liar lair was released. Also, they started the 1997-2012 logo from lost world Jurassic park.
I'm biased since I was born in the 80s but for me it's the 1990-1993 and 1993-2000 themes. That was my childhood. That theme was truly magic and you knew you were going to a different world. Going on a true adventure. No worries, no stress, just joy being lost in the moment watching a great movie.
I think I can match the Universal openings with the Legend of Zelda series. Here’s what I came up with: The Legend of Zelda - 0:35 Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - 0:48 A Link to the Past - 0:58 Link’s Awakening - 1:47 Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask - 2:20 Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages - 2:48 Wind Waker, Minish Cap - 3:26 Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks - 3:48 Skyward Sword, A Link Between Worlds - 4:34 Breath of the Wild - 4:56 Tears of the Kingdom - 5:58
1:18 How so the 1933-34 logo has the Woody Woodpecker theme when the character was created in the 40s? Someone must get their facts more straight here...
My favourite version is a tie between the 90s one (especially with the old ones at the beginning) and the one we got now which is basically the one that came after the 90s one but it sounds more epic-er.
Occasionally they have had eccentric "specialized" logos, as when they had a "Dr. Seuss" - style globe for *_The Cat in the Hat,_* and some SF film where Earth's cities went dark one by one.
While I really like the current Jerry Goldsmith theme they've been using since 1997 (and even more now with the improved pacing, added choir and percussion), there's something about the previous James Horner theme that sounds so whimsical and gorgeous, like you're about to get whisked off to a magical, dreamlike realm a'la Peter Pan. Always loved it growing up watching Universal movies on VHS. 🥰
How’d they make the 1933-1950 logo? Is it actually just hand drawn or what? The way the letters move and the reflection on the globe makes it look almost too advanced to be hand drawn.
@@-TacoMan- In order for that to be done,the company would have to make a pact with the world leaders to build 9 space stations in the shape of the letters in a $20,000,000,000 budget,then send a telescope with a 4K cinematic camera and amazing speed and then record the space stations moving in unison to form the end logo.
Being from the mid-late 2000’s I still kind of remember the 80’s Universal logo. Mainly due to my family’s DVD collection. Spanning from the late 90’s to today. With some movies being rereleases
Very impressive. I remember seeing those logos before especially the 1990 one and the 1997 one as well. The 1990 logo is my most favourite one of all time. That 1960-1987 logo must be the longest running one. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

80s kid grew up in the 90s. 3:27 is what I know as movie time. The newest version is really lovely. You need a good ear to pick out the slight changes like the soprano choir voices making the angel sounds at 5:40 and a beautiful baseline accompanying them are all not in the original. Check 4:34 and 5:33 for comparison. New One much punchier.
