* May 23, 1974-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. | * May 23, 1974-July 4, 1975: A special variant was used to commemorate MGM's 50th anniversary.
