Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios: Difference between revisions

'''Visuals:''' Over a black background, the logo starts with 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. Leo, whose 1957 footage is digitally restored and enhanced, like the previous logo, roars as this happens.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a golden, rounded square passes by, bringing in a bright light. Another square passes while the screen zooms out through another to reveal we were inside the golden filmstrip ribbon. The ribbon zooms out and settles in place, this time reading "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ART FOR ART'S SAKE</span>" (the English translation of the usual "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ARS GRATIA ARTIS</span>") written in MGM's custom typeface (named Metro Mayer Serif). A bright light is seen filtering out of the words in the ribbon, filling it with gold. By the time the light fades away from the right, the ribbon gains an extremely shiny metallic luster, and the English translation changes back to its familiar Latin version. The ribbons on either side of the circle unfurl into their familiar form as Leo (now an updated, photorealistic CGI rendering of him, based on the 1957 footage) fades in and roars. The mask (once again redesigned, with a solid mouth this time) and leaf-like design around it grow and fade from the darkness, and the company name zooms out (just like the previous logo) and shines on top of the ribbon, with "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">{{color|gold|TRADE MARK}}</span>" fading in shortly after. The entire logo has a subtle, faint golden shine all around it.

* The 100 anniversary variant pays homages to the 1974 and 1984 anniversaries such as the "100" fading into leo's footage (like in the 1974 logo, with "BEGINNING OUR NEXT 50 YEARS") and "100 YEARS OF ENTERTAINMENT (Similar to the "SIXTY YEARS OF GREAT ENTERTAINMENT" phrase from 1984).
