Universal Pictures Continues Yearlong 100 Anniversary Universal Pictures Unveils New Animated Logo_News Release 1 UNIVERSAL PICTURES CONTINUES YEARLONG 100th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION WITH REVEAL OF NEW ANIMATED LOGO STOCKHOLM, MARCH 1st, 2012 – As part of Universal Pictures’ yearlong 100th anniversary celebration, the studio will be revealing an updated animated logo to celebrate this special occasion. The new animated logo will be released worldwide on March 2nd and will be featured on all Universal releases going forward. The new logo honours the authenticity of the brand, and pays homage to the studio’s rich film history, cultural impact and global vision (A static version of this logo is featured at the top of this release). 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 honouring 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 symbolising the thousands of communities brought together by their shared love of film. In combination with the animated logo, award-winning film composer Brian Tyler (The Fast and the 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 utilising world percussion instruments. “We wanted to utilise 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 100th anniversary 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 centre of all online initiatives lies a rich, robust website dedicated to all things related to the yearlong celebration of Universal’s 100th Anniversary.

    CULTURE, TRAUMA, AND WELL-BEING: SOCIAL SUFFERING IN RURAL GUATEMALA By BRIAN PATRICK TYLER A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Brian Patrick Tyler To the kind and generous people of San Jose El Tesoro and to Kitty & Joe Tyler ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Preparing this dissertation research project – from the development of my research topic, to the preparation of grant proposals, the ethnographic fieldwork, and the years I took to finish the writing of this dissertation – was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Many people helped me get to the finish line, and far more helped me to find the joy in life. I must acknowledge the important insights and constructive critiques of faculty members at the University of Florida who helped me along the way, including Drs. Alba Burns, Peter Collings, Shawn Kneipp, and Alyson Young. My dissertation committee – Drs. Sharon Abramowitz, Chris McCarty, and Suzanna Smith – helped me to reconsider many of my intellectual positions, and have given me the most important critiques, and the encouragement, that will drive my thinking as I continue writing and researching the topics covered in this dissertation. Most important to me, personally and professionally, has been the encouragement and support of my mentor and dissertation chair – Dr. Clarence Gravlee – who brought me to Florida and who has been the most influential person in my academic training. I owe any success, now and in my future career, to him and I am eternally grateful for his belief in me.

  • Exploring the Soundscape of LEGO® Universe
    Exploring the soundscape of LEGO® Universe When LEGO® Universe died in 2012, it didn’t just shut off access to the imagined worlds of Avant Gardens, Gnarled Forest, and Forbidden Valley; it also took with it the brilliance of an epic soundtrack. Composed by Brian Tyler with additional music by John Harman and Richard Dekkard, the LEGO Universe soundtrack was a gorgeous symphonic creation of orchestral arrangements designed to stand the test of time. The LEGO Group was so taken with the music that the company used it at the entrance to LEGOLAND parks around the world. But it wasn’t easily available to fans, at least not until the company decided to team up with Dekkard and Tyler to remaster and release the music in 2021. Now anyone can purchase a digital copy of the official original game soundtrack or listen to the entire thing as a single continuous mix on any of your favorite streaming services as well as YouTube. And there are even talks about a potential limited run physical release of the album. Tyler said in a recent episode of podcast Bits N’ Bricks that he decided to help out with the remaster because he always felt like the LEGO Universe soundtrack was the “one that got away.” “I was so proud of it, and still am of this score,” he said. “I love it. And you know, I get asked about it all the time. ‘Is that going to be available?’ I mean, it's 10 years of me fielding questions saying, ‘I don't know, you know? I hope it is, you know?’ I was earnestly feeling like, ‘Dang, yeah, I hope it is, you know? I really want that for the fans and also for new people.
