MGM/UA Communications Co.: Difference between revisions

*A variation that only uses this logo alone exists, which appears on ''Pumpkinhead'' (even on current prints where the 2001 variant of the 1986 MGM logo appears before it) and the original VHS release of ''Illegally Yours''.

*A black-and-white version exists.

*Adapted for widescreen (2.35:1) films, the "MGM-UA" logo does not zoom out further than usual.

*On trailers for films on MGM/UA Home Video VHS releases, the logo plays as normal, but the logo video zooms out and lands on a film cell and it slides away. Another film cell appears and the trailer begins.

*Depending on the film quality, the silver may appear as light brown.

*A 1.37:1 "academy" version of this logo exists, which appears on full-screen and UK VHS prints of films as well as a 2004 [[ITV1|ITV1]] UK airing of ''Rain Man'' (1988).

*On a 2004 ITV1 UK airing of ''Rain Man'' (1988), the "Subtitles" text fades in at the top right when the trail and "MGM-UA" outline starts split into three. The "Subtitles" text also fades out when one of the letters in the words "MGM/UA COMMUNICATIONS CO." starts to appear.

*A French dub of ''Rain Man'' (1988) has a low-pitched version of this jingle with the United Artists logo.

*On the 2017 Arrow Films remastered Blu-ray release of ''A Fish Called Wanda'' (1988), as well as the 2017 Scream Factory Blu-ray release of ''Poltergeist III'' (1988), the 5.1 tracks have the MGM/UA jingle play and when the MGM logo appears, cuts to the 1995 roar due to sloppy reverse plastering. The 2.0 stereo tracks on both films have the original audio and 1986 roar. Also, the 5.1 track for ''A Fish Called Wanda'' (1988) has the MGM/UA jingle in high-tone.

*On the 2021 Severin Films remastered Blu-ray release of ''Overboard'' (1987), the logo is silent until the MGM logo shows up and the 1995 roar is heard. This is likely due to Severin reusing audio from the previous MGM master with the 2001 logo.

*On a Russian dub of ''Child's Play'' (1988), the MGM/UA United Artists variation plays audio for the 1994 UA logo due to a reverse plastering error.  

*On the 1989 and 1994 VHS releases of ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'' (1968), the opening theme of the movie (more accurately, the sound of racecars) is heard over the MGM/UA United Artists variation (this also replaces the 1968 "Transamerica T" UA logo).
