'''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. We then see Leo, the ribboning, mask and the words "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">{{color|gold|TRADE MARK}}</span>" on both sides (from the previous logo, all in {{color|gold}} and metallic) ease back with the ribbons moving (the words "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ARS GRATIA ARTIS</span>" moves from right to left), as "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Metro Goldwyn Mayer</span>" appears shimmering and eases itself above the ribboning. The company name is darker and appears to have a "shining" effect applied to it, while the mask is also different as well.
