*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. | *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'' (not fully confirmed). Among the other films that originally featured this logo were ''The Magnificent Seven'', ''West Side Story'' (at least on general release prints), ''One, Two, Three'', and The Beatles' films ''A Hard Day's Night'' and ''Help!''. | *Noticeably, out of all the pre-1967 James Bond films, the only one where this appeared was ''Goldfinger'' (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 ''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). It also appears on the Scream Factory Blu-ray of ''Doctor Blood's Coffin'', the Kino Lorber DVD and Blu-ray of ''10 Seconds to Hell'', and the Twilight Time Blu-ray and Vudu prints of ''Inserts'' (made in 1976, but it was rated X, so Transamerica didn't want its name nor insignia on the film, and since it was a period piece set in the '30s UA simply decided to use this logo as a stylistic choice in lieu of an in-credit notice), TCM airings of ''Tomorrow, the World!'' and ''Return from the Ashes'', and ThisTV airings of ''Gentlemen Marry Brunettes''. | *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.

*This was also seen on international prints of ''The Man with the Golden Arm'', in which it makes a surprise reappearance on an Australian TV airing and on the German Blu-ray. The MGM/UA VHS of ''Marty'' also preserves this, and it's been suggested that this even appeared on its original VHS and Betamax release, from CBS/Fox Video. | *This was also seen on international prints of ''The Man with the Golden Arm'', in which it makes a surprise reappearance on an Australian TV airing and on the German Blu-ray.

*On ''Topkapi'', the logo was small and in-credit at the bottom-right corner of the end credits, with the words "Released by" above it. The in-credit variant can also be seen on all the British-made films from London Productions that were distributed by UA, though it does not appear on the 1942 ''Jungle Book'' film. | *On ''Topkapi'', the logo was small and in-credit at the bottom-right corner of the end credits, with the words "Released by" above it.

*On James Bond films of this period, it originally appeared on ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service'' (appears on a 16mm print), ''Diamonds Are Forever'' (appears on the RCA CED version), ''Live and Let Die'', and ''The Man with the Golden Gun''. The black & white version has been spotted on the 1989 VHS and current prints of ''Sleeper'' and surprisingly, current releases of ''Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia''. It is currently unknown if any other full screen versions of Woody Allen titles on DVDs retain their original United Artists titles. | *On James Bond films of this period, it originally appeared on ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service'' (appears on a 16mm print), ''Diamonds Are Forever'' (appears on the RCA CED version), ''Live and Let Die'', and ''The Man with the Golden Gun''.

*Also seen on the Magnetic releases of ''The Black Stallion'', ''Annie Hall'', and ''La Cage Aux Folles''. Also seen on the international prints of ''Piranha'', which is preserved on the Region 2 DVD after the 1995 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). | *Also seen on the Magnetic releases of ''The Black Stallion'', ''Annie Hall'', and ''La Cage Aux Folles''.

Factory DVD and Blu-ray of ''Deadly Blessing'' (a film Universal Studios owns because they control some of the pre-1996 PolyGram Filmed Entertainment library, in addition to being the very last film released in the Transamerica era, though not the last to use this logo--that would be ''The French Lieutenant's Woman''), and ''Jaws of Satan'' (a.k.a.
