Universal Studios was founded in 1912 and is one of Hollywood's "Big Six" film studios. It is owned by NBC Universal and has several subsidiaries involved in film production and distribution. The Universal logo features the word "Universal" arched around an image of the earth. The white and gold text colors are meant to evoke images of heaven. When fully on screen, the earth's rotation stops with America in view, reflecting the company's American origins. The logo has evolved over the years from its 1914 origins to the current 100th anniversary version.
