Universal Orlando August 1 Press Conference

[Scott W.]

Fair.

But also:

I don't know if this is what you were getting at but I'm fairly certain that we're looking at the backside of the logo and it will spin around like the Universal globe to reveal itself.

Please don't call the park something with Epic in the name.

I'm hoping that using Epic will still be the advertising campaign.

this was my thought...the word "EPIC" is already so over used in marketing of so many products. there isn't anything "unique" about it.

 

[RFRees]

Fair.

But also:

I was just starting to search for hidden messages in the stars for the EPIC picture when you posted this... now realizing that the space backdrop is the exact same section of space as that Universal logo.

Here's a better look at the hidden detail.

Looks like a time piece.

Steampunk/clockwork hub ahoy...

 

[Imperius]

If they changed it to Epic Worlds I’ll be sad. Epic shouldn’t be an any theme park name.

If thats the case, it looks like the pointed inverted V's on either side of the logo could be edges of a banner that says "Fantastic Worlds" or whatever they call it

Not sure what the circular things at the top and bottom are all about

Universal's Epic Steampunk Worlds. :thumbsup:

And people also hate "Fantastic Worlds" so they're screwed either way. We had the same arguments about Volcano Bay.

Names are a weird, because they change meaning over time.

The author of the 007 novels named the character "James Bond" because it was the dullest most boring name he could think of... now we think the name "James Bond" kicks serious ass.

"Epic Worlds" or "Fantastic Worlds" might sound stupid now, but a year after the park is open you may not think twice.

 

[CMM]

Before seeing the more detailed version, I had thought it looked like it might be something of an Astrolabe, but it's clearly not.

Sort of looks like a tunnel/portal, no? But I'm guessing that's not it and some sort of textual logo will be in the dark circle.

 

[Imperius]

Can see them naming it Epic Worlds. Don’t want people saying let’s go to Ew

 

[BBPH]

EPIC UNIVERSE

They literally trademarked this for everything under the sun July 18th.

 

[Skipper Justin]

EPIC UNIVERSE

I love the European Union.

 

[JungleSkip]

They can call it "Universal Orlando Resort Themed Amusement Park Number 4" for all I care. I'm getting a new park.

They're very reminiscent of the upper loop on a pocket watch:

Looks like a time piece.

I'm mostly just being silly, but the light could indicate the "time" on this timepiece, pointing to 12:31.

December 31st confirmed opening date!!

 

[JoeCamel]

Looks like a time piece.

Dr. Who confirmed!

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Since EPIC UNIVERSE was trademarked, I can see Universal's Epic Universe being their take on "Walt Disney World" so sum up their entire resort. Would make sense.

People will probably just refer to it as "Worlds" anyway. Like IoA is "Islands" and US as "Studios"
