* Recent prints of ''Yentl'' have the 2001 logo with the 1982 roar, probably because the opening theme was used with the roar (some prints have the 1982 and 1985 roars combined). This also happens on the 2006 Ultimate Edition DVD of ''Octopussy'' and ''A View to a Kill'' when the audio commentary is turned on.

* Starting in 2011, the logo began appearing without the URL, likely due to MGM no longer releasing their won films (outside some regions) after their emergence from bankruptcy. This version first appeared on ''The Cutting Edge: Fire and Ice'' in 2010. It later made an appearance on a behind-the-scenes video of ''Zookeeper'' found on the MGM website, as well as the trailers for ''The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'', ''21 Jump Street'' and ''G.I. Joe: Retaliation''. Oddly, the roar track is not used on the former two trailers, but is still heard on the latter. The logo made its first appearance on a theatrical release of ''The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo''.

* October 31, 2008-February 6, 2009: A new roar sound that also has elements of the 1982 and 1995 MGM lion roars and is more powerful than its predecessor, once again mixed by Mark Mangini. This new sound was reportedly created because the recent ones did not have the lion roaring thrice like the longer version. This was also used on the trailers for ''Fame'' and ''Hot Tub Time Machine''.
