*Don't expect to find this on ''It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'', ''The Miracle Worker'', ''The Barefoot Contessa'', ''The Killing'', ''A Fistful of Dollars'', ''For a Few Dollars More'', ''Tom Jones'', ''The Pink Panther'', or ''How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying''. Very rarely, a videocassette or laser videodisc of these will preserve this logo's absence. | *Don't expect to find this on ''It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'', ''The Miracle Worker'', ''The Barefoot Contessa'', ''The Killing'', ''A Fistful of Dollars'', ''For a Few Dollars More'', ''Tom Jones'', ''The Pink Panther'', or ''How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying''.

''' | '''Legacy:''' 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. | ||

'''Availability:''' Rare. It was seen on the initial UK theatrical prints of the James Bond movie ''The Living Daylights''. When the movie was released in US and most international countries later, it was replaced with the next logo. It is, however, intact on all modern releases of the film. | '''Availability:''' Rare.

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

'''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. | '''Availability:''' Common.

''' | '''Legacy:''' A refinement of the previous logo, thanks in large part to the use of the 1987 design. | ||
