3. The logo is made up of an image of the earth with the words universal that arch around
the planet. The word Universal connotes to everything and everyone . The colours used
for the text is white and gold which because of where the logo is placed around the
earth its almost as if the logo is heaven as our visual assumptions of heaven is where
the ground is the clouds which are white and the gates and buildings are made of gold
which are the colours used on the text. When the full text is on screen for when the film
starts the earths rotation stops on America due to this being an American company.
