*An unused theme exists for this logo, having extra build-up, a faster main part, and a different piano orchestration at the end. | |||
*In an unusual variation that is likely an editing foul-up, the 2002 UK film ''24 Hour Party People'' accompanies this logo with the theme music of [[Pathé (France)|Pathé]], which had European distribution rights to the movie. This actually suits the logo well. | *In an unusual variation that is likely an editing foul-up, the 2002 UK film ''24 Hour Party People'' accompanies this logo with the theme music of [[Pathé (France)|Pathé]], which had European distribution rights to the movie.

*TCM's print of ''The Magic Sword'' has the second half of the 1982 logo fanfare playing over it. Quite possibly an editing error as well. | *TCM's print of ''The Magic Sword'' has the second half of the 1982 logo fanfare playing over it. Quite possibly an editing error as well. | ||

'''Availability:''' Common. It's seen on | '''Availability:''' Common. It's seen on most films released by UA in their final years, including ''Jeepers Creepers'', ''Ghost World'', and ''Hot Tub Time Machine'' (the last MGM release with this logo). This logo has now become the standard for plastering the Transamerica and later logos on notable films such as the ''James Bond'' and ''Rocky'' franchises. It also appears on PBS's print of ''The Last Waltz''. On the 2020 re-releases of the ''Rocky'' movies, this appears (after the 2001 MGM logo) on ''Rocky II.'' This logo hasn't been used since the release of 2012's ''Red Dawn'' (and even then, only as a legacy credit as the film had been sold to [[FilmDistrict]] due to MGM's financial situation at that time), as United Artists now operates in-name-only. This logo also appears preceded by the current MGM lion on new prints of older United Artists releases. | ||
