This <u>later variant</u> is seen on ''Licence to Kill'', ''All Dogs Go to Heaven'', and ''Rocky V'', among others. | *In its <u>early years</u>, the [[MGM/UA Communications Co.]] logo preceded this logo.

'''Availability:''' Despite being subject to plastering with the 1994 and 2001 logos, it still appears on UA-released films of the period, such as ''Baby Boom'', ''Rain Man'', and ''Rocky V'' to name a few. This logo was often paired off with the popular MGM/UA Communications logo (which is sometimes cut off like on current prints of ''The Living Daylights'' and a 1993 MGM/UA Home Video VHS print of ''Rocky''), and both logos are thus regarded as favorites; however, the short version seems slightly easier to find than the normal variant. | '''Availability:''' Despite being subject to plastering with the 1994 and 2001 logos, it still appears on UA-released films of the period, such as ''Baby Boom'', ''Rain Man'', and ''Rocky V'' to name a few.
