'''Visuals:''' Same as the 11th logo, but with several enhancements: the text, ribbons and mask, along with its wreath, are now all in a lighter, more metallic shade of {{color|gold}}; the URL now reads "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''MGM.COM'''}}"; and the footage of Leo has been digitally enhanced.

'''Trivia:''' This was actually based on the print logo that was used by MGM Home Entertainment and MGM DVD, as seen on VHS and DVD covers and other merchandise. The gold mask used here also 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'', as the original three-roar footage from 1957 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. More info on the project [https://garycoates.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/logo-history-restoration-article.pdf here.] Also,  this logo was parodied on [[Gameloft|Gameloft's]] ''Dragon Mania Legends.'' Here, the ribbons are replaced with golden branches and a gate in the middle, the mask is replaced with the symbol of a dragon's egg, and wreath is slightly altered, the footage of Leo is replaced by a red dragon, "Metro Goldwyn Mayer" is replaced with "DRAGON MANIA LEGENDS", "TRADE and "MARK" are replaced by "SIMPLY" and "LEGENDARY", respectively, and the URL is replaced by "EST. 2015", which references the year the game came out.
