Did the trick for me! Are those 'major' cords added to the first few notes? Simple clever choice. Those new notes made my arm hairs go WEEEEE!

What else would you expect it to say? It is a Comcast company.

Not the first time something has been there either. It used to say "An MCA Company".

They are 2 different videos. What I mean was "The intro to the show was released as a teaser when the announcement was made."

Yes, but notice the cut at the end where the new logo will follow. I think we can expect a slow rise, building crescendo until the new logo's start cuts the sound and it's formally introduced with it saying "Cinematic Spectacular" instead of "100th Anniversary".

Also, I am wholly impressed and emotional from this new sequence and I think I've played it 50+ times by now. :lol:

I'm guessing that's the new animated logo that's premiering in front of The Lorax tomorrow.

I know that the new logo "will" be involved, but it's not like this was just something that Sheikra just discovered. (No offense).

My point is, and I think this is a fair criticism, there is more to OU then just our forums.

Well, the new logo for the films makes we want to get some popcorn and be wowed... the logo for the Cine Spec thing makes me want to take a history of film class and then take a nap.

There was a whole release about the new animated logo here:

As part of Universal Pictures' yearlong Centennial celebration, the studio will reveal an updated animated logo in honor of its 100th anniversary, it was announced today. The new animated logo will make its debut with Universal and Illumination Entertainment's 3D-CG feature Dr. Seuss' The Lorax, which is being released in theaters nationwide on March 2, and it will be used on all film releases going forward. The new logo honors the authenticity of the brand and pays homage to the studio's rich film history, cultural impact and global vision. This is the seventh incarnation of an animated logo created for the motion-picture studio since its inception.

"Our Centennial year is the perfect opportunity to create a new logo that reflects our future while honoring our past," said Ron Meyer, Universal Studios President and COO. "Universal's new logo celebrates the studio's extraordinary legacy in creating lasting movie memories and connecting viewers across the globe."

For the new animated logo design, Universal teamed up with the Academy Award®-winning visual effects artists at New Zealand-based Weta Digital to capture Universal's vision for a contemporary logo that stayed true to the company's legacy identity of a "global vision." The visual dynamic of the new logo was inspired by satellite imagery that illustrated a view of the world on a clear night from space. Rather than focusing on the continents and physical boundaries that separate people, the new view is highlighted with tiny points of bright lights that pop across the globe—symbolizing the thousands of communities brought together by their shared love of film.

In combination with the animated logo, award-winning film composer Brian Tyler (Fast and Furious franchise) provided a new arrangement of Jerry Goldsmith's classic score, which has accompanied the logo since 1997. The iconic theme of Goldsmith's original composition remains, but the orchestration has been bolstered with a choir, new string parts and drum cadence utilizing world percussion instruments.

"We wanted to utilize the classic melody that we all know and bring it into the 21st century, while still being very respectful of what Jerry Goldsmith did originally," said Tyler. "I wanted it to be a celebration of all the great movies Universal has done over the years—connecting the past to the present."

In addition to the new logo, other key Universal Centennial initiatives include: a major film restoration commitment, home entertainment offerings, theme park celebrations and a special anniversary gala featuring many of the filmmakers and artists who shaped the studios' history. In addition, the studio will spotlight the 100th anniversary throughout various worldwide film festivals and other featured events, panels and activities. At the center of all online initiatives lies a rich, robust Website dedicated to all things related to the yearlong celebration of Universal's 100th anniversary.

A few pictures from Saturday:

Work being done on one of the projectors.

No longer boats in the boathouse. Now projectors.

Looks like moving head spots in the larger domes.

Edit: Moving head spotlights are manufactured by, "Vari-Lite - Phillips Entertainment". They are "Series 3000 Luminaries". I have yet to determine the exact model.

^Thanks for those!

I've been thinking we haven't seen a photo update from this in while.


EDIT: Does anyone have an inclination as to when we might see testing begin (if at all)? I suppose it is more likely all tests will occur at night, when the park closes, anyway.

Bad omen... Universal has resorted to hiring Louisiana craw-fishermen to handle their electronics. If the top of his jeans back pocket were any lower we might be in trouble. Thank goodness for the shirt tail.

Regarding the pictures... anyone industry on here that recognizes the projectors or lighting additions in the above photos? Any tech insight will be appreciated by a few if not many.

^ It appears there is some kind of energy star or whatever sticker on the outside unit. So, my first inclination is that might be a super AC unit. If so, it tells me that the projectors are quite bright and quite hot.

^ Teebin, you are correct. That is a mini-split A/C unit used for equipment cooling.
