'''Logo:''' A new lion appears, named Leo. The script "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Metro Goldwyn Mayer</span>" is in a new font. The wreath and the mask are redrawn once again, and the ribboning on the sides is stretched out even more. Leo roars at first, then turns his head to his right. He would roar again for the second time and look away, and would do the same thing on his third roar and would look away for the final time. | '''Logo:''' A new lion appears, named Leo.

* From May 23, 1974 to July 4, 1975, a special variant was used to commemorate MGM's 50th anniversary. At the top, "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|gold|'''Metro Goldwyn Mayer'''}}}}", in the same font as the 1957 logo, is in {{color|gold|yellowish-gold}}, and the wreath is slightly thinner. Inside the circle is the phrase "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|gold|'''BEGINNING OUR NEXT 50 YEARS...'''}}}}", with "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''B'''}}" a bit bigger and stretched vertically, also in {{color|gold|yellowish-gold}} as Leo roars. There would be a crossfade between the phrase and Leo. Instead of "{{Font|Times New Roman|TRADE MARK}}" seen on the sides of the circle, "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|gold|'''GOLDEN'''}}}}" is seen on the left and "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|gold|'''ANNIVERSARY'''}}}}" is seen on the right in the same color. Leo would roar again two more times. | |||
* From 1983-February 21, 1986 and July 10, 1987, the marquee name was altered to read "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">MGM/UA Entertainment Co.</span>", following their acquisition of United Artists in 1981, with all text (apart from the initials and Latin phrase) rendered in {{color|orange}}. Everything else remains the same. Also, on UA releases of the era, this logo preceded the United Artists on-screen text. Starting with the release of ''Dream Lover'' on February 28, 1986, it reverted back to the name "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer</span>". However, the MGM/UA variant appeared on the 1987 film ''O.C. and Stiggs''. The film was originally made in 1985 but was shelved for two years. | * From 1983-February 21, 1986 and July 10, 1987, the marquee name was altered to read "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">MGM/UA Entertainment Co.</span>", following their acquisition of United Artists in 1981, with all text (apart from the initials and Latin phrase) rendered in {{color|orange}}.

'''Legacy:''' One of the most iconic logos to exist. In fact, Leo is the most famous out of all the MGM lions. This also marks the start of a definitive design for the logo, as it would only receive minimal changes going forward; the lion will be recently reimagined in CGI beginning in 2021. | '''Legacy:''' One of the most iconic logos to exist.
