'''Logo''': A disc the size of a cold cream jar with the Stylized MGM lion's face on top and the words "MGM Television" on its side (more on that later) features in this logo. It began with this "jar" standing on its edge - the N in TELEVISION would be on the bottom - and we're looking at the Stylized Lion which is on the "lid". One roar is heard over the final strains of the special's closing theme, then this jar falls backwards and sideways simultaneously - quickly and fluidly - to reveal this legend on the side. Background drawing(s) or decoration was possible but unconfirmed. "MGM" is on its side as if rotated 90 degrees, and in the blocky font from the trademark on the record labels. "Television" was in a font that may be not unlike the Bobbi The Hippie font (also similar to the "mod" logo to the game show To Tell The Truth). | '''Logo''': A disc the size of a cold cream jar with the Stylized MGM lion's face on top and the words "MGM Television" on its side (more on that later) features in this logo.

'''Legacy''': | '''Legacy:''' This logo has been a mystery for a while, enough so that it didn't resurface until Twitter user Marc Acrylic [https://twitter.com/marc_acrylic/status/1658208443419730084 uncovered the logo] in 2023. | ||
