'''Editor's Note:''' One of the most popular logos to exist. In fact, Leo is the most famous out of all the MGM lions. | '''Editor's Note:''' One of the most popular logos to exist. In fact, Leo is the most famous out of all the MGM lions. | ||

'''Availability:''' Very rare. It was seen only on two films: ''The Subject Was Roses'', which has the logo intact on its Warner Archive DVD-R release, and ''2001: A Space Odyssey'', which had the logo edited out on most TV prints, but is preserved on DVD and Blu-ray as well as some international TCM airings and the 2018 IMAX re-release. This logo remained intact on video covers from early MGM/CBS releases. The trailer variant can be seen on the trailers for films such as ''He Knows You're Alone'' and ''Fame'', among others. | '''Availability:''' Very rare.

'''Editor's Note:''' Even as far as abstract logos go, the onscreen graphic feels like a wasted effort. But, at least MGM still saw fit to use it elsewhere for a long time after. | '''Editor's Note:''' Even as far as abstract logos go, the onscreen graphic feels like a wasted effort.
