United Artists: Difference between revisions

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 blue rectangle with rounded corners, encased inside an off-center purple box, surrounded by offset {{color|darkred|dark red}} bars.

**A variant of the standard version with the blue rectangle resembling a TV tube, an larger but uneven {{color|gold|yellow}} circles, and a smaller purple section with rounded corners.

**Centered logo and {{color|gold|yellow}} circle on a blue background.

*It was allegedly first seen on ''You Only Live Twice'' (which used the blue TV tube variant on both sides of the pond).

*The blue background variant is only known to appear on the aforementioned Kino Lorber Blu-ray releases of the ''Dollars Trilogy''.

'''Visuals:''' It starts with two sets of 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 blue "{{color|blue|T}}" design zooms out to the right side to make room for the company name "{{font|impact|United Artists}}" in the Transamerica corporate typeface (a rounded, dotless version of Helvetica Extra Compressed), sliding in from the left. A small byline pops in afterward, reading "{{font|Helvetica|''Entertainment from Transamerica Corporation''}}", which appears under the UA name.

'''Audio:''' An ascending musical scale of six bass guitar notes accompanying each of the six blue lines, followed by a sharp drum roll, and concluded by a fanfare of horns and drums composed by Doug Goodwin, a staff composer at DePatie-Freleng also known for writing the theme song for ''The Pink Panther Show''.

'''Visuals:''' Merely a simplified version of the 4th logo. The text "{{font|impact|United Artists}}" is seen in the center of the screen, in the same font as the previous two logos. A few seconds later, the blue "T" design fades in on the left side of the company name, and at the same time, blue text that says "{{font|Helvetica|{{color|blue|A Transamerica Company}}}}" appears underneath the United Artists name.

'''Visuals:''' 5 blue lights start appearing on a black screen one-by-one, slowly revealing the bold text "'''UNITED ARTISTS'''". The lights appear in the following order: middle right, middle left, middle, far left, and then far right. After the text is completely revealed, it turns {{color|orange|copper}} and various spots on the word "{{color|orange|'''UNITED ARTISTS'''}}" sparkle for a few seconds. The Transamerica "T" and the byline "A Transamerica Company" (which is sometimes tinted gold) fade in below near the right.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a 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 the camera. The "UA" stops in the center of the screen, and the white text "United Artists" (in ITC Avant Garde Gothic) fades in below it.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a giant pattern of blue crystallized "UAs" in the same design from the previous logo is shown. The pattern smoothly merges together to form one medium-sized "UA" as it zooms out (a la the 1989 [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] "Glass P-Head" logo). A streak of light passes over the logo, leaving spikes on the "A". Then the text "United Artists" (in ITC Avant Garde Gothic) fades in underneath as the logo shines.
