'''Logo:''' On a black background, a golden, rounded square passes by, bringing in a bright light. Another square passes while we zoom out through another to reveal we were inside the golden filmstrip ribbon. The ribbon zooms out and settles in place, this time reading "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ART FOR ART'S SAKE</span>" (the English translation of the usual "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ARS GRATIA ARTIS</span>"). A bright light is seen filtering out of the words in the ribbon, filling it with gold. By the time the light fades away from the right, the ribbon gains an extremely shiny metallic luster (even brighter, shinier and much more realistic than that of the previous logos) and the English translation changes back to its familiar Latin version. The ribbons on either side of the circle unfurl into their familiar form as Leo (now an updated, photorealistic CGI rendering of the 1957 footage | '''Logo:''' On a black background, a golden, rounded square passes by, bringing in a bright light.

The mask (once again redesigned, with a solid mouth this time) and leaf-like design around it grow and fade from the darkness, and the company name zooms out (just like the previous logo) and shines on top of the ribbon, with "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">{{Font color|gold|TRADE MARK}}</span>" fading in shortly after. The entire logo has a subtle golden shine around it. | ||
'''Trivia:''' The logo was designed by Baked Studios. | '''Trivia:''' The logo was designed by Baked Studios. | ||

'''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic orchestral fanfare plays in the beginning (notably marking the first time the MGM lion's roar has been complimented with a proper fanfare), which ends in a somber, violin-esque descent as the 1995 roar track caps it off. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic orchestral fanfare plays in the beginning (notably marking the first time the MGM lion's roar has been complimented with a proper fanfare), which ends in a somber, violin-esque descent as the 1995 roar track caps it off. | ||
'''Availability:''' Brand new and current. It was first uploaded to MGM's official YouTube channel on March 8, 2021. The logo was originally supposed to debut on November 8, 2019 with the James Bond film ''No Time to Die'', but was delayed several times due to original director Danny Boyle's departure and the COVID-19 pandemic, and is now scheduled for release on September 30, 2021 in the United Kingdom and on October 8, 2021 in the United States. As such, it is expected to be seen on every film from MGM beginning with ''Wrath of Man'', | '''Availability:''' Brand new and current.

'''Editor's Note:''' Though the CGI Leo could take some time for some people to get used to, he nonetheless looks truly amazing due to him appearing much more lifelike than ever before thanks to his hyper-realistic appearance, not to mention that the logo itself is beautifully crafted. All in all, this logo is an absolutely stunning update to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo everyone knows and loves, especially since the 100th anniversary is approaching. Even better is the fact that this is also the first time the English translation of the Latin phrase has appeared on screen, which is an excellent touch alongside the beautiful fanfare. | '''Editor's Note:''' Though the CGI Leo could take some time for some people to get used to, he nonetheless looks truly amazing due to him appearing much more lifelike than ever before thanks to his hyper-realistic appearance, not to mention that the logo itself is beautifully crafted.
