Universal Studios Turns 100 and Plans a Year of Celebrations

Universal Studios is marking its 100th anniversary in 2012 with a year long celebration and a brand new logo featuring a more realistic looking globe, an effect that looks like an eclipse of the sun, and bigger letters.

The year long campaign will also involve Universal Studio's theme parks in Orlando and Hollywood. The 2 studios are preparing for what is being billed as "a specially themed entertainment experience that will celebrate Universal’s heritage."

Whether that will come in the form of parades or guided tours, you can be sure we will let you know as soon as we hear anything..

Universal has also announced that it plans to restore 13 films to mark their anniversary, beginning in January with a special 50th anniversary release of "To Kill a Mockingbird," debuting on Blu-ray for the first time. The other restored films will hit Blu-ray later in the year in special commemorative packaging.
