'''Availability:''' Rare, due to this logo being a placeholder. It was seen on United Artists' limited output of this time before it became an in-name only subsidiary of MGM. The only known theatrical releases to feature this logo are ''Crime and Punishment in Suburbia'' and ''The Claim''. This logo is also seen on DVD releases of ''The Black Stallion Returns'', ''Juggernaut'', as well as the Twilight Time Blu-Rays of ''The Dogs of War'', and ''Play Dirty.'' This logo is usually preceded by the current MGM Lion on older United Artists releases. | '''Availability:''' Rare, due to this logo being a placeholder.
