'''Visuals:''' There is 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.
'''Visuals:''' A large black circle is seen with the words "{{font|Serif|'''{{big|U}}NITED {{big|A}}RTISTS'''}}" centered within it as cote outs. The "{{font|Serif|'''{{big|U}}'''}}" and "{{font|Serif|'''{{big|A}}'''}}" are much larger than the rest of the text, and overlap each other. In the top left, "'''FROM'''" is seen in a very small, tall font, and the bottom has "'''{{small|A}} {{big|Transamerica}} {{small|COMPANY}}'''", with "'''{{big|Transamerica}}'''" within the circle as a cote out and in the company typeface.  


'''Variants:''' There were a few <u>color scheme variations</u> used for this logo besides the normal version:

**Centered logo and {{color|gold|yellow}} circle on a {{color|blue}} background.
*Depending on the film, the placement of the logo would vary slightly.
**Monochrome print logo on a black background, with a white outline forming the circle. This is used for trailers.

'''Audio Variants:''' On <u>American prints of the Italian James Bond spoof ''Operation Kid Brother''</u> (Original Italian title: ''O.K.

UA likely extended the animation of their logo at the time to match the length of the Titanus fanfare.
