G2 Films (also spelled as "G² Films") was the indie/art-house movie arm of MGM established in 1997 and was first known as "Goldwyn Films", with the acquisition of [[Orion Pictures]] and [[Samuel Goldwyn Entertainment]]. It was later changed to "G2" (or "G Squared") Films from 1999-2000 after Samuel Goldwyn, Jr. sued MGM for using the "Goldwyn" name without his permission.

There is a small number two (hence the squared symbol seen in mathematics) on the upper right hand corner of the "G", where we later see the word "FILMS" makes a wipe effect from the right under the logo and the byline "AN--MGM--COMPANY" fades in beneath.
