'''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 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 {{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|darkviolet|purple}} box, surrounded by offset {{color|darkred|dark red}} bars.

'''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}} "{{color|blue|T}}" design zooms out to the right side to make room for the company name "United Artists". 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 4th logo, 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 "{{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 {{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 {{color|orange|copper}}. Then, various spots on the word "UNITED ARTISTS" sparkle for a few seconds.

'''Logo:''' On a black screen, a metal line slowly fades in. It then rotates clockwise at an extremely slow pace and reveals itself to be a {{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 in 1968-1976.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a {{color|blue}} "UA", which looks similar to the previous logo but is more uniformed in structure and has three cross-indentations on the "A", zooms toward us. The "UA" stops in the center of the screen, and the white text "United Artists" (in ITC Avant Garde Gothic) fades in below it.

'''Logo:''' Over a black background, we see a giant pattern of {{color|blue}} crystallized "UAs", in the same design from the previous logo. The pattern smoothly merges together to form one medium-sized "UA" as it zooms out. A streak of light glides by to slash the "A", leaving spikes on the "A". Then "United Artists", in ITC Avant Garde Gothic, fades in underneath and the logo shines.

'''Logo:''' It starts with a couple dozen bright stars showering over. The backdrop is a dark-colored marble wall, which appears a few seconds later. The glittering stars glide over the screen causing the words, "UNITED ARTISTS" with "U" and "A" bigger than the rest of the letters, wiping in from the left. After this progression, two stars criss-cross each other's paths and fade away left and right underneath to reveal, in smaller text, the words "PICTURES INC.", in spaced-out letters. As the logo completes, one big star goes against the "U" and flashes. Then it shines, a la the [[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]] Torch Lady's torch shining.

'''Logo:''' On a black screen, white streaks appear, streaking to form a new UA logo that looks similar to the 1982 and 1987 logos, except the logo is a little narrower and there are no streaks. The words "UNITED ARTISTS" come from both sides of the lower part of the screen and converge. The words "AN MGM COMPANY" soon fade in afterwards, where we later see a shining wipe effect on the UA logo.

'''Trivia:''' This on-screen rendition was ultimately a placeholder for the reintroduction and revitalization of the "UA Swoosh", which the revised print logo was already using during this time.

'''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.
