'''Availability:''' Very rare. So far, it has been spotted on ''He Who Gets Slapped'', ''Confessions of a Queen'', ''The Unholy Three'' (1925), ''The Circle'' and ''Battling Butler'', but existing prints of other films from this era have the Jackie lion plastering this one.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The only movies this is known to appear on were silent, so the logo either has silence or the movie's intro music. | '''Music/Sounds:''' The only movies this is known to appear on were silent, so the logo either has silence or the movie's intro music. | ||
'''Availability:''' Extinct outside of film preservation. This logo was used on early color silent films. It appeared on ''The Heart of General Robert E. Lee'', which is currently being restored by the Library of Congress. It is also said to appear on a film entitled ''Buffalo Bill's Last Fight''. The logo should be retained if either film resurfaces. | '''Availability:''' Extinct outside of film preservation. | ||

'''Editor's Note:''' MGM's early attempt at a color logo, and color films in general. For a period of time, the lion's name was unknown, so it was given the unofficial name of Bill by the wiki. | '''Editor's Note:''' MGM's early attempt at a color logo, and color films in general.

'''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. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon. | ||

'''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.

* High tone variants of the 1982, 1985, 1994 and 1995 roars also exist, which are mostly heard on PAL prints. | |||
'''Availability:''' Extremely common. In fact, the 2001 website variant is more common than any other variant because it plasters not only previous logos, but also numerous logos from so many other companies (hence the nicknames "The King of the Plasters" and "Lion of Plastering"). | '''Availability:''' Extremely common.
