(1992?-1996?)

Logo: Against a gray stone background, we see the USA Network logo below a box with the text "PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH", and they both slowly zoom in.

(1996-1998?)

Nickname: "USA Studios", "The Fountain"

Logo: We pan down from a large entrance archway of a studio, rows of palm trees and buildings and we see a fountain, aglow with orange CGI "water", as the USA Studios logo (the USA Network logo of the era, a serif-font "USA" with a star shape integrated into the "U", with "STUDIOS" below instead of "NETWORK") rotates into place facing the camera from the right. As it rotates, the fountain sprays water upwards.

Variant: A short version exists.

Trivia: At this point, the "look" of USA Network revolved around the fictional "USA Studios" complex; idents provided glimpses of a control room, movie intros showed people inside the "USA Studios Film Vault", and schedule bumpers showed soundstages being prepped for production.

FX/SFX: Good CGI and live-action footage. Not bad for 1996.

Music/Sounds: For the long version used the majestic two-note fanfare with harp crescendo For the short version used the majestic orchestral fanfare used based off USA's three-note jingle of the era, combined with rushing water noises.

Availability: Was seen on USA original programs and movies of the era, such as Savage Dragon, Wing Commander Academy, A Prayer in the Dark, and Buried Alive II.
