*Was prolific on video releases and cable during the 1980s. This logo was used to update its catalog and provide a visual branding presence in the process, especially considering that most pre-Transamerica UA films did not have a logo at the beginning. | *Was prolific on video releases and cable during the 1980s.

*This plasters older logos on the CBS/FOX releases of ''The Spy Who Loved Me'', ''The Black Stallion'', ''Rocky'', ''Thunderball'', ''You Only Live Twice'', ''Goldfinger'', and ''It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'', the Playhouse Video release of ''Apache'', the 1983 MGM/UA Home Video release of ''The Last Waltz'', the 1983 Warner Home Video rental-only VHS and Betamax release of ''A Fistful of Dollars'' (it also appears on the 1985 CBS/Fox Video laserdisc) | *This plasters older logos on the CBS/FOX releases of ''The Spy Who Loved Me'', ''The Black Stallion'', ''Rocky'', ''Thunderball'', ''You Only Live Twice'', ''Goldfinger'', and ''It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'', the Playhouse Video release of ''Apache'', the 1983 MGM/UA Home Video release of ''The Last Waltz'', the 1983 Warner Home Video rental-only VHS and Betamax release of ''A Fistful of Dollars'' (it also appears on the 1985 CBS/Fox Video laserdisc), the RCA SelectaVision CED release of ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'', and Amazon Prime Video's print of ''Heaven's Gate'' (the shorter theatrical cut). | ||

*Most 1980s UA releases were released with the MGM/UA lion logo (which still survives on some current prints). However, it can still be found on some '90s MGM/UA Home Video releases such as the early 1990s MGM/UA release of ''The Secret of NIMH'' (in addition to the 2007 DVD release and the Blu-ray), along with the 1991 VHS of ''West Side Story''. Also seen on UK prints of ''The Plague Dogs'' (the shorter U.S. version was distributed by Embassy Pictures and had their logo in place), and is also intact on Optimum Releasing's DVD release and Shout! Factory's Blu-Ray of the movie. Strangely appears on an VHS trailer for ''Teachers'' (on a 1986 Australian tape of ''American Flyers''). Also, it plasters the 1st UA logo on a CBS/FOX release of ''Witness for the Prosecution'', in which this logo is shown in B&W. Also currently seen on ''Rocky III'', preceded by the 2001 MGM lion (the 2001 and 2004 DVDs, as well as the Fox Blu-ray releases, also preserve it) and ''The Wilby Conspiracy'', preceded by the 2008 MGM lion. It can also seen on TCM airings of ''The Horse Soldiers''. | *Most 1980s UA releases were released with the MGM/UA lion logo (which still survives on some current prints).

*This is also seen on the 2004 MGM DVD and 2010 Blu-ray of ''The Thomas Crown Affair'', as well as on the 2018 Kino Lorber 4K remastered Blu-ray. Can also be seen on '80s prints of older 007 films, mainly on VHS and Laserdisc (it also appeared on an '80s British reissue print of ''From Russia with Love''). The variant appeared on a video from Kyron Home Video in Colombia. (NOTE: In terms of packaging, this logo only appeared on British, European, Latin, African, Australian, Asian, and Japanese 1980's video releases of UA films from Warner Home Video. CBS/Fox video releases simply had the MGM/UA logo on the packaging. This was perhaps due to branding rights that were different overseas, especially since this logo only actually appeared on film on occasion). | *Also seen on UK prints of ''The Plague Dogs'' (the shorter U.S. version was distributed by Embassy Pictures and had their logo in place), and is also intact on Optimum Releasing's DVD release and Shout!
