Visuals: On a still, waving American flag background, a white rectangle flips forward into view. Inside of the rectangle is a red segmented upside down trapezoid with a star in the middle and the blue script text "United American Video" also in the middle.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: None.

Visuals: On a mostly blue gradient starry background with black in the top right corner, an American flag flies in and zooms out at the top of the screen. As it reaches the center of the screen, a brief star shine appears, and the large letters "UAV", which are blue with red stripes and are meant to resemble the American flag, form from pieces. After this, a white star spins out and rests on the "A", causing the logo to glow white. The text "United American Video Corp." appears below the letters.
Variants:
- On some tapes, the below text is not shown at all.
- Sometimes, the words "For best picture quality, adjust tracking control on VCR." appear on the background before the logo begins.
- On some releases, that is preceded by the words "These classic cartoons were mastered from the best original film print available. Slight imperfections common in early cartoon animation may be visible.".
- A variant exists for Dutch releases. The first half of the logo is completely different, where the Dutch flag appears and zooms out, while the stars from the EU flag rotate in from the top left corner to surround the Dutch flag. The flag and stars then zoom out, the stars rotating slightly as they do, as the second half plays out as normal. Below the logo, "EUROPE" in a white-outlined Serpentine font fades in.
Technique: CGI by Alias.
Audio: A tremendous "whoosh" sound that slowly increases in volume, followed by a thunder rumbling sound. It closely resembles a jet flying close by.
Audio Variant: For its appearance on the 1990 Alias/Wavefront demo reel, the song "Wap-Bam-Boogie" by Matt Bianco is played underneath.
Availability:
- Seen on releases from the era such as Southern Comfort, Lovers & Liars, Gold Rush, Godzilla vs. Megalon, some Jay Ward cartoons such as The King And Odie Show, some tapes of The Andy Griffith Show and some early public domain cartoon tapes including Looney Tunes, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Popeye, and Superman.
- The Dutch variant is only known to appear on the tape Woody Woodpecker en Vrienden.

Visuals: On a black background, a giant, two-toned blue letter "A" comes lazily sweeping from the back, joined by (turning around, in a small white font) the letters making up the word "CORPORATION", and from the sides by the letters "U" and "V". A red bar indented with the word "CORPORATION" comes up from the opposite direction, spinning slowly like an axle, until it stops to interlock with those letters. The entire logo then immediately shifts to face toward the upper left and pauses for about 1.5 seconds, then the entire animation plays in reverse.
Variants:
- On some tapes that show the company's tracking control screen, the logo fades in and out at the point where the letter "A" and the word "CORPORATION" appear. This variant was first shown in 1993 and last shown in 1995.
- A shortened variant exists, which can be found on promos for the company.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The audio from the previous logo.
Availability:
- Can be found on tapes from this era such as public domain cartoon tapes, public domain movies, tapes of The Andy Griffith Show, UAV Gold releases, Animalympics and some old Davey & Goliath tapes.
- It also appeared on the 8 min. series of workout tapes including the Kathy Ireland series.
- It appears on the 1999 VHS of Gulliver's Travels (1939 film).

Visuals: A supernova (a large explosion from space) happens on a starry background. The UAV logo from the previous logo, this time with "ENTERTAINMENT" in white lettering on the red bar, flies into view. Once the logo is into place, light beams come out of it, and pans ever so slightly towards the screen. The supernova (as well as the light beams) then disappears, leaving the UAV logo floating in space.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: An explosion, a whoosh (different and much softer from the previous logos), and a synth note.
Availability: Seen on some later UAV Corporation tapes such as Gilad tapes, Kansas City Confidential, and Moses: Egypt's Great Prince.
