*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''.

'''Editor’s Note:''' This logo is a favorite among many due to its unique animation and funky fanfare. It's also one of the earliest examples of brand unification, as Transamerica used the same font and logo throughout all of its divisions.

'''Legacy:''' This is seen as one of UA's "black sheep" logos due to the lack of the "UA" design, some don't like this logo for this reason and for it's plastering, but this logo still has its fans thanks to its CGI and musical score.

'''Logo:''' Essentially the same as the previous logo, except this one includes a metallic version of the "UA Swoosh" logo from 1987. Instead of the cross-indentations of the "A" being swooshed in this time around, they are "sliced" in by a light effect from left to right, one by one. There is also a URL for "www.unitedartists.com" underneath the company byline.
