<!-- Please discuss legitimacy of this variation on Logo News and Discoveries thread: Allegedly, there is a variant just like the 5th logo. It starts off with "United Artists" and the Transamerica "T". Then "Entertainment from Transamerica Corporation" fades in, possibly as a way of United Artists bidding "farewell" to Transamerica after 14 years. This was seen on original theatrical prints of ''For Your Eyes Only''. Surprisingly, this variant currently appears in full on an American trailer for the 1980 release of ''Arabian Nights'' (a 1974 Italian film). -->
