*As most releases only used a text notice, a few films have originally used this logo but were removed or updated with newer ones (or a MGM logo), thus making it an extremely hard find. However, it does appear on the Hopalong Cassidy film ''False Colors'', whenever CoziTV decides to rerun it. | *As most releases only used a text notice, a few films have originally used this logo but were removed or updated with newer ones (or a MGM logo), thus making it an extremely hard find.

*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). Among the other films that originally featured this logo were ''Stagecoach'' (it was blacked out on later releases after the rights reverted to producer Walter Wanger), ''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!''. | ||
*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). 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.
