Nicknames: "The Nightmare Globe", "CGI Globe", "CGI Zooming Globe", "Sonic the Hedgeglobe", "The Gold Universal Nightmare", "Really, Really Fast Zooming Globe", "MCA Globe", "CGI MCA Globe", "CGI Zooming MCA Globe" Logo: From a dark outer space background with stars moving forward in medium speed, a colorful, more physically-correct earth than its Universal predecessor at the time (now with greener land, a bluer-looking body of water and an icy white Arctic Ocean surrounded by clouds) zooms toward the screen with lightning speed as if to break through the screen and capture the viewer and then immediately pans down to reveal a large gold shining group of letters, "MTE" in the MCA font (though slightly resembling the GTE logo), rotating and then zooming back against the globe which now appears again from the bottom, facing a bit down, and has stationed itself behind the letters, rotating also at an abnormal speed. After the letters and globe lock into place, the byline "AN MCA COMPANY" "glitters" in starting from a little left of the center, revealing some of the MCA logo in its stylized font, and then the rest of the byline and the words "AN" and "COMPANY" in a bold Helvetica type font. All the byline is on a stone-like texture. The text shines afterwards. FX/SFX: The extremely fast zooming out of the globe, the rotating of the gold shining text. A unique, magnificent early CGI MCA/Universal globe rendition of Universal that appeared to define the future of MCA logos years ahead of its 75th Anniversary. Music/Sounds: A custom extended rendition of the 1975 Universal Television theme consisting of a deep tympani drum roll, accompanied mainly by a harp, followed by a swift whooshing sound (for the globe), and concluded by a slow eight-note horn fanfare (three extra notes precede the general five notes from the Universal Television counterpart), of which the last note is the loudest. Sometimes, the ending theme of the show plays over it. Availability: Rare. It was found on a few movies aired on HBO and USA such as Silhouette, The Hollywood Detective, Running Against Time, Curiosity Kills and on a few series in syndication. Notable shows where it would have been most available include early season 1 episodes of Swamp Thing and She-Wolf of London, early episodes of They Came From Outer Space, and season 1 episodes of Dream On. It is seen at times on Sleuth (now "Cloo") and Chiller, and still preserved on the DVDs of Dream On, Swamp Thing, and She-Wolf of London. Some said shows on Hulu have this logo intact. The videotaped version was found on the 1989 TV movie, Trapped. However, on Hulu viewings of Dream On (which was the rerun prints from Comedy Central from the '90s), it was plastered by the 1990 MCA TV logo. Scare Factor: Medium to high. The combination of the zooming globe and the music (performed in a way unlike any other in the history of MCA/Universal) is deadly, especially when it's preceded by a logo with a black background, as well as the first time around you have seen it. But the scare factor is lower for those who are used to seeing it.
