Following the dissolution of MCA, Universal Studios introduced a brand new logo on December 9, 1996, and was given a proper animation to accompany it in 1997, which first appeared on The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Despite being replaced in 2012, this logo is still used by Universal Pictures International, and Universal Music Group (the latter broke up from the studio in 2004). Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment also used it until 2023, when All Interactive Distribution took over physical media distribution. A stylised version is used for Universal Animation Studios.
