* On "Switchin' Kitten" and "Down and Outing", the then-current MGM movie logo would play (without "CARTOON" at the bottom, and without the theme song accompanying it) followed by a screen saying "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER CARTOON", whose font and background vary depending on the cartoon. The theme song would start whenever this screen came up. While the standard movie logo also appeared on "Buddies Thicker Than Water" and "Carmen Get It!", the second screen was not shown and the opening music played over it.

* On Chuck Jones' ''Tom & Jerry'' cartoons, as well as the short "The Bear That Wasn't", the logo was modified, and Tanner replaced Leo in the circle. The text "METROCOLOR" Is shown below the logo.
* ''Chuck Jones Tom and Jerry'' Variant: After showing Tanner roaring, it later fades out to reveal none other than Tom in the circle, who meows pretty angrily in an attempt to imitate a lion's roaring, and hisses. Then, the ribboning fades into a simple blue circle and moves upwards as the black background changes to orange, Tom "roaring" all the while. "T" and "M" appear besides it, and "and" appears below. "JERRY" appears letter-by-letter below all t hat as Jerry drops into the "Y," smiling pleasantly, and waves his hand. Tom notices this and hisses.
* Closing Title Variant: On 1963's "Pent-House Mouse" (Chuck Jones's first T&J short), "The End" is in a completely different font. It also cuts to the "MGM Tom and Jerry Cartoon" screen instead of fading.
