'''Nickname:''' "The UA-Transamerica Circle"


'''Logo:''' We see the words "UNITED ARTISTS" appearing inside a circular field. The words "A Transamerica CORPORATION" (or "A Transamerica COMPANY") are seen in small letters underneath. The "U" and the "A" are somewhat taller than the rest of the company name, and they overlap each other. The word "FROM" appears above the UA circle, in teeny, tiny letters. The logo is contained inside a {{Font color|gold|yellow}} circle, focused off-center from the screen, but centered around the logo, which is inside a {{color|blue}} rectangle with rounded corners, encased inside an off-center {{color|purple}}

'''Logo:''' It starts with two sets of {{color|blue}} lines going into place, one by one on a black background. One line turns to the left, another turns to the right, and so on. There are six lines altogether, revealing the logo of Transamerica Corporation, United Artists' former owner. The stylized {{color|blue}} "{{Font color|blue|T}}" design zooms out to the right side to make room for the company name "United Artists", which appears in an Impact font. A small byline pops in afterward, reading "Entertainment from Transamerica Corporation", which appears under the UA name.

'''Logo:''' We see the text "United Artists" in a similar Impact font on a black background. A few seconds later, the {{color|blue}} "T" design fades in on the left side of the company name. Like the previous logo variant, the "T" is made up of 6 {{color|blue}} lines, with three stacked on top of each other on both sides. At the same time, a {{color|blue}} text that says "{{Font color|blue|A Transamerica Company}}" appears underneath the United Artists name.

'''Logo:''' The text "UNITED ARTISTS" starts appearing on a black screen in five segments, outlined by a {{Font color|blue}} blue light. After "UNITED ARTISTS" is completely revealed, the Transamerica "T" and the byline "A Transamerica Company" (which is sometimes tinted {{color|gold}}) fade in below as "UNITED ARTISTS" turns {{Font color|orange|copper}}. Then, various spots on the word "UNITED ARTISTS" sparkle for a few seconds.

'''Logo:''' On a black screen, a whitish line slowly fades in. The line then rotates clockwise at an extremely slow pace and reveals itself to be a {{Font color|lightskyblue|silvery blue}} stylized "UA". The logo is in the shape of a "U" with a bigger left side, and a diagonal line protruding from the shorter right side to form the "A." When the symbol finishes turning around, the words "United Artists" appear under it in the same font that was used during the "Transamerica" era.

'''Trivia:''' The logo was created and designed by Sandy Dvore (who also created the Lorimar 1971 "LP" logo). The "UA" was a wood model sprayed with chrome-like paint and suspended with a black rod covered in a velvet cloth to avoid reflection. The background was simply a black piece of paper. The model was then rotated on a small stage.
