In the beginning, MGM used the live-action theatrical logos of Jackie (black & white cartoons only), Coffee (1934-1935 cartoons), and Tanner (1935-1942 cartoons) on early MGM cartoons.
The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio (also known as MGM Cartoons) was the in-house division of [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] (MGM) film studio in Hollywood, responsible for producing animated shorts to accompany MGM feature films in Loew's Theaters. Founded in 1937 as the successor to [[Harman-Ising Productions]], the cartoon studio created some popular cartoon characters, including ''Tom and Jerry'', ''Droopy'' and ''Barney Bear''. It went defunct in 1958, as most of the animation staff were moving to a new studio known as [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons|H-B Enterprises]]. The studio would be succeeded by [[Sib Tower 12 Productions]] (renamed MGM Animation/Visual Arts in 1966), founded in 1962 by Chuck Jones, a former [[Warner Bros. Cartoons]] employee.
