MGM/UA Communications Co.: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' On a black background, an outline of the MGM-UA logo zooms out, leaving a smoky trail behind it. The trail and "MGM-UA" outline splits into three. The smoky trails get sucked into the logo, which stops in the top center of the screen. The "MGM-UA" logo is a metallic, [[GBH IDs|WGBH]]-like outline. Then, the letters in the words "MGM/UA COMMUNICATIONS CO.", in red, appear one by one below "MGM-UA". A {{color|red}} line starts in the center of the company name and splits into two, one line going toward the top of the screen, and one toward the bottom. The lines wipe the screen and bring forth either the MGM "Lion" or the UA "Swoosh". The MGM-UA logo zooms toward the viewer as this happens.

*There is a variation that only uses this logo alone, as neither the MGM nor UA logo will follow. This is seen on ''Pumpkinhead'' (even on current prints where the 2001 MGM logo appears before it) and the original VHS release of ''Illegally Yours''.

*A black-and-white version exists.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A synth chord segueing into some whooshing sounds combined with a drum beat, followed by a synth trumpet fanfare, and then a metallic hit at the end (which is not present on the standalone variant).   

*The MGM/UA Communications-UA Swoosh mixture is seen on an old TV, VHS, and Laserdisc prints of several James Bond movies and movies from the ''Pink Panther'' series (and plasters old UA logos, such as the "Transamerica T").
