'''Editor's Note:''' This is a very popular logo, thanks to the effective model work, its uplifting fanfare, and its prevalence on VHS releases in the golden age of the format. | '''Editor's Note:''' This is a very popular logo, thanks to the effective model work, its uplifting fanfare, and its prevalence on VHS releases in the golden age of the format. | ||

'''Logo:''' It's basically another on-screen text saying "UNITED ARTISTS PRESENTS" in the same futuristic white font on a black background. | |||
'''Trivia:''' After MGM acquired United Artists, most new UA films were released with this on-screen text following the MGM "Lion" logo of the era with the "MGM/UA Entertainment Co." caption above. Movies released in 1984 would use the "DIAMOND JUBILEE" variant to coincide with MGM's 60th Anniversary that year. However, the 1985 films A View to a Kill and To Live and Die in L.A. don't have this text. | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
*On Romantic Comedy, the text reads "A United Artists/Taft Entertainment Picture". | |||
*Some films such as Red Dawn and The Aviator (1985) have the text presented in the same font as the main titles. The former film does not have the text on a black screen. | |||
*Yentl has the text reading "A UNITED ARTISTS PRESENTATION". | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' None. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' None, or the opening theme of the movie. | |||
'''Availability:''' Usually preserved on United Artists films of the era, as it is technically an in-credit logo and later prints still use this text. Films with this logo include Octopussy, Rocky IV, Curse of the Pink Panther, WarGames, and some public domain prints of 1971's Born to Win, among others. Oddly, this in-credit text was used to plaster the 1968 logo on Support Your Local Sheriff! instead of the previous logo, and is intact on its most recent releases. This appeared on the original VHS release and the 2001 DVD of Youngblood, but recent prints replace this with the next logo, or in the case of Encore's print, remove it entirely (while retaining the MGM Lion logo of the era). | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' None. | |||

'''Editor's Note:''' Some people who prefer UA's older logos don't like this logo, but it still has amazing CGI and an excellent musical score. | '''Editor's Note:''' Some people who prefer UA's older logos don't like this logo, but it still has amazing CGI and an excellent musical score. | ||
