'''Editor's Note:''' The history of this updated logo's creation is actually rather interesting. Although the 2008 roar track was a wasted effort. Why even make it if they decided to stick with the 1995 roar? | '''Editor's Note:''' The history of this updated logo's creation is actually rather interesting.

'''Editor's Note:''' A great effort to modernize the MGM logo. The moving filmstrips as well as the zooming out from the eye is a great touch to actually give the logo a little more substance. However, the size of the ribbon is off-putting, as Leo's head doesn't fit in the circle anymore. | '''Editor's Note:''' A great effort to modernize the MGM logo.

Sometimes, there is no music and instead has the opening theme playing over with the roars intact. | ||

'''Editor's Note:''' The CGI Leo could take some time to get used to and those who prefer the previous logos may also be annoyed. Nonetheless, it's a stunning update to the MGM logo especially since the 100th anniversary is approaching. The English translation of the Latin phrase is also an excellent touch alongside the beautiful fanfare. | '''Editor's Note:''' The CGI Leo could take some time to get used to and those who prefer the previous logos may also be annoyed.
