'''Technique:''' Live-action footage. This logo was created and designed by Sandy Dvore (who also created the 1971 [[Lorimar Television|Lorimar]] "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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A low sonic tone plays in the background as the line fades in, then a soft "ping" is heard and a slow, somewhat somber five-note piano tune plays when the line begins rotating; a long "whoosh" is also heard throughout this section. When the "UA" is revealed and the words "United Artists" appear, they are accompanied by a short, swelling progression of violins immediately leading to an uplifting, dramatic 5-note orchestral conclusion. This theme was composed by Joe Harnell.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A descending "whoosh" is heard when the line fades in, followed by a slow, somewhat somber five-note piano tune when the line begins rotating. A longer "whoosh" is also heard throughout this section.

This was composed by Joe Harnell.


'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' An alternate take exists. It's a re-arranged version of the theme with an emotional piano theme and a more dramatic finish. It made its only appearance on disc two of ''The Film Music of Joe Harnell'' CD. You may listen to it [https://youtu.be/hQky16N5-rA here.]
