'''Logo:''' We see the words "UNITED ARTISTS" appearing in front of a design of a bald eagle. Above this "A" is seen, and below it "Release" is seen. The latter two phrases are in cursive. | '''Logo:''' We see the words "UNITED ARTISTS" appearing in front of a design of a bald eagle. Above this "A" is seen, and below it "Release" is seen.

'''Logo''': It's basically another on-screen text saying "UNITED ARTISTS PRESENTS" in the same futuristic white font on a black background. | |||
'''Trivia''': After MGM acquired United Artists, most new UA films were released with this on-screen text following the MGM "Lion" logo of the era with the "MGM/UA Entertainment Co." caption above. However, the 1985 films ''A View to a Kill'' and ''To Live and Die in L.A.'' don't have this text. | |||
'''Variants''': | |||
*On ''Romantic Comedy'', the text reads "A United Artists/Taft Entertainment Picture". | |||
*Some films such as ''Red Dawn'' and ''The Aviator'' (1985) have the text presented in the same font as the main titles. The former film does not have the text on a black screen. | |||
*''Yentl'' has the text reading "A UNITED ARTISTS PRESENTATION". | |||
*On ''Oxford Blues'', the text reads "METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER PRESENTS" in a same futuristic font of "UNITED ARTISTS PRESENTS". | |||
'''Technique''': None. | |||
'''Music/Sounds''': None, or the opening theme of the movie. | |||
'''Availability''': | |||
*Was seen on United Artists films of the time period, as it is technically an in-credit logo and later prints still use this text. Films with this logo include ''Octopussy'', ''Rocky IV'', ''Curse of the Pink Panther'', ''WarGames'', and some public domain prints of 1971's ''Born to Win'', among others. | |||
*Oddly, this in-credit text was used to plaster the 1968 logo on ''Support Your Local Sheriff!'' instead of the previous logo, and is intact on its most recent releases. This appeared on the original VHS release and the 2001 DVD of ''Youngblood'', but recent prints replace this with the next logo, or in the case of Encore's print, remove it entirely (while retaining the MGM Lion logo of the era). | |||
