→1st Logo (May 17th, 1930-October 23, 1967): Changed premiere date to May 17th, 1930. I have full evidence of this, namely.. a Swedish event by the name of Stockholmsutställningen 1930. SF Studios' film was released at this time, or as the Swedish movie database claims. Don't believe me? See for yourself. https://www.filmarkivet.se/movies/stockholmsutstallningen-1930/ Oh, and deleted the dead video embeds.

*Despite being around for a good 37 years, this logo was extremely difficult to find due to scarce use on certain films as well as rampant plastering by the means of MGM and later UA variants. Now with MGM sub-licensing its films to video labels who are doing new scans and remasters, they usually leave the original studio card indents intact on their film scans unlike MGM themselves. In recent years, this logo has started to become far more common than it was over the last few decades. | *Despite being around for a good 37 years, this logo was extremely difficult to find due to scarce use on certain films as well as rampant plastering by the means of MGM and later UA variants.

*As most releases only used a text notice, a few films have originally used this logo but were removed or updated with newer ones (or a MGM logo), thus making it an extremely hard find. However, it does appear on the Hopalong Cassidy film ''False Colors'', whenever CoziTV decides to rerun it. | *As most releases only used a text notice, a few films have originally used this logo but were removed or updated with newer ones (or a MGM logo), thus making it an extremely hard find.

*It's unknown if this logo appeared on ''Mclintock!'' as most VHS copies have no logo while DVD copies of the non-restored version also have no logo and the restored version's DVD uses the 2002 Paramount Pictures logo. | *It's unknown if this logo appeared on ''Mclintock!'' as most VHS copies have no logo while DVD copies of the non-restored version also have no logo and the restored version's DVD uses the 2002 Paramount Pictures logo. | ||
