'''Availability:''' Uncommon. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on MGM films during this era, starting with the films ''Ride, Vaquero!'' and ''Torch Song'', and ending with ''The Rack''. The version with Jackie first appeared on ''Half a Hero'', released on September 4, 1953, and can also be seen on ''Blackboard Jungle'', as well as ''The M-G-M Parade'' on TCM. | ||
'''Editor's Note:''' Obviously made for widescreen. The 3D version looks incorrectly aligned upon close inspection, as Tanner, who remains in 2D, appears to be in front of the ribboning instead of the other way around. In any case, this looks to be the start of a well-established design for the MGM logo as a whole; though the ribboning isn't gold yet, and the older lions are still in use, everything else is right in place. | '''Editor's Note:''' Obviously made for widescreen.
