'''Logo:''' A new lion by the name of George appears in the studio's logo. The ribboning in the logo looks more stretched out than in the earlier versions. The {{color|red|red}} mask below looks redrawn and the wreath looks more stretched out below. The color of the letters "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''M'''</span>", "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''G''''''</span>", and "M" are still {{color|red|red}}, but look faded. A registered trademark symbol has been added. The first version has the lion looking at the camera, then he turns away and starts roaring. Then he would later look back at the camera and roar again and snarl. The other would have the lion look at the camera first, then would roar while looking up and snarl at the end.

'''Logo:''' We see the 1957 MGM logo, but instead, the ribboning is in gold instead of white and will remain this way from this point forward. On top of the logo are the words "DIAMOND JUBILEE", arched in a white font. On the circle is inscribed "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">METRO GOLDWYN MAYER/UNITED ARTISTS</span>"" in {{color|red|red}}, instead of the usual Latin phrase. The mask is redrawn once again, with the mouth inside the mask in white, and the wreath surrounding the mask is not there. Below the mask is a ribboning banner that reads "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ENTERTAINMENT CO.</span>" On the right side above the ribbon, there is a small trademark symbol "TM", and below the logo is the phrase "SIXTY YEARS OF GREAT ENTERTAINMENT" in white. Leo roars while the letters "M", "E" and "J" sparkle.
