Nicknames: "Blue Light", "The Secret Transamerica T" Logo: The text "UNITED ARTISTS" starts appearing on a black screen in five segments, outlined by a blue light. After "UNITED ARTISTS" completely revealed, the Transamerica "T" and the byline "A Transamerica Company" (which is sometimes tinted gold) fade in below as "UNITED ARTISTS" turns orange. Then, little sparkles appear and disappear in various spots on the word "UNITED ARTISTS" for a few seconds before stopping. Variants: *There is a variant without the Transamerica byline. *A short version seen on trailers starts with the logo already revealed and the sparkles on the "UNITED ARTISTS" text. FX/SFX: The logo appearing in segments, the outline, the fade in of the "Transamerica T" and the byline (when it applies), and the little sparkles on the "UNITED ARTISTS" text. Music/Sounds: Silent or the films opening theme. On the 2001 Special Edition DVD release of Rocky however, it uses the 1995 music, due to a reverse plastering error (the previous 1998 DVD had the 1995 logo). Availability: Very rare, due to this logo being short-lived. The bylineless version can be found on the original 1976 film Carrie(which has no logical reason to be plastered). The rendition with the Transamerica byline is much harder to find due to plastering, and was seen on films such as Rocky, The Return of a Man Called Horse, and the 1975 version of Rollerball (where this logo was first spotted). It is, however, preserved on the 2001 DVD releases of Carrie and Rocky (with the 1995 music tacked on, due to sloppy editing!), but then replaced with the current logo on the 2006 DVD release of the latter. However, the 1990 VHS of Rocky has this logo plastered with the 1987 logo and the MGM/UA Communications logo. Also, the 1996 VHS and 1998 DVDs of Rocky have it plastered with the 1994 logo, along with the 2014 Blu-Ray. It is possible it may be on the 1981 USA RCA CED release, but this has yet to be seen. Also seen on current TV airings of Champion of Death (AKA, Karate Bullfighter), after the 2008 MGM logo. This logo was last seen on Bound for Glory, in which the R2 DVDs retain it, while the R1 releases have it plastered with the 1987 logo. Can also be seen in some trailers of films of the time period like Carrie and even The Pink Panther Strikes Again (the film would use the next logo below). Scare Factor: Minimal to low. It may frighten a few with the dark background, but the music on the 2001 DVD release of Rocky slightly lowers the scare factor.
