United Artists: Difference between revisions

*It's unknown if this logo appeared on ''Mclintock!'' as most VHS copies have no logo while DVD copies of the non-restored version also have no logo and the restored version's DVD uses the 2002 Paramount Pictures logo.

*Noticeably, out of all the pre-1967 James Bond films, the only one where this appeared was ''Goldfinger'' (1964) (not fully confirmed).

*This logo was also seen on international prints of some pre-1948 ''Looney Tunes'' and ''Merrie Melodies'' shorts that they owned while plastering the Warner Bros. opening of the era.

**It has been preserved on ''Call Me Bwana'', ''Stranger on Horseback'', ''A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum'', ''Thunderbirds Are Go!'', ''Tomorrow, the World!'', ''Three Sundays to Live'', ''The Hound of the Baskervilles'', ''The Happy Thieves'', ''The Fabulous Dorseys'', ''The Horse's Mouth'', and ''How I Won the War'' (an early Transamerica-era film that was intended to be released six months earlier than it actually was; possibly the last film to feature the hexagon, before Transamerica took over).

*The 20th-anniversary variant appears on some prints of ''Of Mice and Men'' (as seen in the above photo), and ''A Chump at Oxford'', both Hal Roach Studios-produced films.

*On the 1990 [[MGM/UA Home Video]] Laserdisc of ''A Bridge Too Far'', this logo plasters over the Transamerica byline variant that is on the film itself.

*Very rarely, a video cassette or laser videodisc of these will preserve this logo's absence without also showing a later logo.

*This logo also recently appeared at the start of a January 3, 2023 Film4 airing of ''The Hound of the Baskervilles'' after the 2001 variant of the 1986 MGM logo as well.

**It was allegedly first seen on ''You Only Live Twice'' (which used the {{color|blue}} TV tube variant on both sides of the pond).

**It was also said to be seen on a Retroplex airing of the former.

*The trailer variant is seen on the ''Clambake!'' trailer, but on the main feature (Region 2 and 4 DVD releases only), it has an odd United Artists/Ledy-Gardner-Laven productions in-credit logo instead.

*The original U.S. theatrical run of ''The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly'' also did not originally have this logo, as confirmed by the original 1967 continuity script which described the first reel as going straight to the title sequence from the leader (the absence thereof is preserved on the 1990 MGM/UA VHS and laser videodisc release).

*It has recently resurfaced on the 1st episodes of ''Sheriff Hoot Kloot'' and ''Blue Racer'', as well as all episodes of ''The Dogfather'' on the Kino Lorber DVD and Blu-ray releases.

**It also makes a surprise appearance on the Magnetic Video Corporation Laserdisc release of ''Carrie'' (oddly enough, plastering the 6th logo).

*The ''Fiddler on the Roof'' variant appeared on early television broadcasts, and on the 1981 RCA CED (Magnetic Video Corporation's version was released later that same year, and by that time, Transamerica no longer owned United Artists; early copies thereof may retain this variant, though).

*The second version is much harder to find, but is still kept intact on the 1993 Republic Pictures Home Video VHS release of ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'', and on the MGM DVD release and ThisTV airings of ''The Killer Elite''.

*It also appears on the original [[Magnetic Video Corporation]] release of ''The Jazz Singer'', followed by the 1923 [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] logo.

**The black and white variant is also preserved on the RCA CED and Magnetic Video Corporation VHS, Betamax and Laserdisc releases of ''Raging Bull'', as well as the Blu-ray release and Netflix viewings of ''Stardust Memories'' (oddly after the 2001 MGM logo and 2001 UA "Swoosh").

**Also seen on the international prints of ''Piranha'', which is preserved on the Region 2 DVD after the 1994 logo.

**It also appeared on pre-1981 prints of ''Rocky II'', including HBO broadcasts (the best place to look for that, and previous versions of the Transamerica logos in general, would be through commercial-free cable TV broadcasts, and old network TV broadcasts from before 1981).

*It is also seen intact on the Region 2 and Region 4 DVD releases of ''Rocky II'', the Warner Archive Instant print of ''Americathon'', and the Shout! Factory DVD and Blu-ray releases of ''Deadly Blessing'' (a film [[Universal Pictures|Universal Studios]] owns because they control some of the pre-1996 [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment|PolyGram Filmed Entertainment]] library, in addition to being the very last film released in the Transamerica era), and ''Jaws of Satan'' (a.k.a. ''King Cobra'').

*This logo also makes a very strange appearance on the US Scorpion Releasing Blu-ray release of Terror Train (1980), whereas other prints have the 1953 20th Century Fox logo.

*This logo was on US trailers for the 1976 to 1981 MGM films ''That's Entertainment Part II'', ''Logan's Run'', ''Fame'', and ''He Knows Where You Sleep'' (on the latter two films this logo appears under the 1966 MGM logo).

**However, it does not appear on the actual release prints of MGM films from the era with MGM's logo at that time being used to start the films.

*Was seen on the original American prints of ''Last Tango in Paris'' (however, the original Magnetic Video Corporation VHS and Betamax releases use the contemporary "Transamerica T"), ''Rancho Deluxe'', ''92 in the Shade'', ''Undercovers Hero'', ''Trackdown'', ''Drum'', and other sleaze films Transamerica wanted nothing to do with. While ''Vigilante Force'' is rated PG in the United States and even bears the T on print advertising, the final product uses this logo because it's just as sleazy as the R-rated films with this logo.

*Was seen on later Magnetic Video Corporation and most 20th Century-Fox Video VHS, Betamax and Laserdisc prints of ''The Adventures of Robin Hood'', ''Rocky'', ''Dr. No'', ''Goldfinger'', ''A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum'', ''For Your Eyes Only'', ''White Lightning'', ''Now, Voyager'', ''The Return of a Man Called Horse'', and ''Rollerball'', among others.

*Currently appears on the 2002 MGM DVD and the Criterion DVD and Blu-ray releases of ''The French Lieutenant's Woman''; however, streaming prints and overseas Blu-ray releases have the 2001 logo in its place.  

*It also appears on some public domain DVD releases of ''The Magic Sword''.  

*It first appeared on ''The French Lieutenant's Woman'' and made its last appearance on ''The House Where Evil Dwells''.

'''Availability:''' Rare, due to this logo being a placeholder.

* It was seen on United Artists' limited output of this time before it became an in-name only subsidiary of MGM.

* This logo is usually preceded by the current MGM lion on older United Artists releases.
