<!-- 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''. This variant currently appears in full on an American trailer for the 1980 release of ''Arabian Nights'' (a 1974 Italian film). --> | <!-- Please discuss legitimacy of this variation on Logo News and Discoveries thread: Allegedly, there is a variant just like the 5th logo.

*On some <u>full screen prints</u>, including the RCA VideoDisc release of ''Fiddler on the Roof'', the logo is squeezed to fit the 4:3 aspect ratio. On the cancelled VHD print of the film, the logo is cropped/zoomed in so that the "United Artists" text appears to be in the center of the screen, resulting in the "T" being cut off at the right side. | *On some <u>full screen prints</u>, including <u>the RCA VideoDisc release of ''Fiddler on the Roof''</u>, the logo is squeezed to fit the 4:3 aspect ratio.
