"Skullduggery" (1970) gave Universal’s globe a full identity crisis: reversed Van Allen belts, a backward spin, then a zoom straight into New Guinea. Wild logo variant.
Boring United Artists logo using the Transamerica T from the matrix company, from "The Missouri Breaks" (1976).
United Home Video/VideoMark logos, from "Joe Bob Biggs: Dead in Concert" (1985). United Home Video operated from 1985 to 1989 before reverting to VCI.
United Artists Television was a major supplier of syndicated and network programming in the era: one of the absurdest premises in television history. From "My Mother the Car".
Sun Creature/Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe (2023): one logo says “elegant Copenhagen animation house,” the other says “the ghosts of Scooby-Doo and The Flintstones have returned in corporate armor.” From "Ivandoe".
Vipco—Video Instant Picture Company—began as VIPC, with a trademark showing those letters inside a graphic resembling VHS cassette spools. Customers misread it as “Vipco,” and the company adopted that name.
United Artists Transamerica T logo, from "Jennifer on My Mind" (1971): rich kids meet in Venice, and Michael Brandon’s Marcus ends up with a dead girlfriend, a car trunk, and a very bad plan.
Rank Video and CFTF Presents released "Hijack!" (1975): a Children’s Film Foundation thriller in which three kids are seized by a fugitive with a grenade and flick-knife, then taken to sea on their father’s yacht.
The “Turning UA” was United Artists’ theatrical logo from 1982 to 1987—the one that opens "The Plague Dogs". A thin white line rotates in blackness until it resolves into a silvery, stylized UA monogram, then “UNITED ARTISTS” appears beneath it.
The 1995 United Artists logo: no Transamerica T, no crystalline UA—just blackness, converging light streaks, and “UNITED ARTISTS PICTURES INC.” assembling like a Bond title sequence.
