The web address below the lion now reads "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''MGM.COM'''}}". The footage of Leo is also digitially enhanced. | ||
'''Trivia:''' This logo was actually based on the print MGM logo that was used on the MGM Home Entertainment/MGM DVD print logos, as seen on VHS and DVD covers and other MGM merchandise. The gold mask seen on this logo looks similar to the one in the 1993 MGM/UA Home Video logo. The footage of Leo in this logo is actually taken from a negative master of the 1958 film ''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'' because the original 1957 3-roar footage was believed to be lost. Leo was then given an HD enhancement, with his mane and ears digitally remodeled to remove film fuzz and blemishes. They were also made to overlap the film ribbons in order to give the logo more depth.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see flickers of light. The image then pulls back to reveal that it is a pupil, an extreme close-up of Leo's eye.

The company name is darker and appears to have a "shining" effect applied to it, while the mask is also different as well. Leo roars as this happens; its 1957 footage is digitally restored and enhanced. | ||
'''Trivia:''' The logo was designed by LA-based graphic design company Shine. On March 20, 2020, MGM's social banner on the studio's social pages changed to a frame-by-frame picture of Leo's footage. | '''Trivia:''' The logo was designed by LA-based graphic design company Shine.
