The red mask appears redrawn and the wreath looks more stretched out below. The color of the letters "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''M'''</span>", "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''G''''''</span>", and "M" are still red, but look faded. A registered trademark symbol has been added. The first version has the lion looking at the camera, then he turns away and starts roaring. Then he would later look back at the camera and roar again and snarl. The other would have the lion look at the camera first, then would roar while looking up and snarl at the end. | ||

On the circle is inscribed "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">METRO GOLDWYN MAYER/UNITED ARTISTS</span>"" in red, instead of the usual Latin phrase. The mask is redrawn once again, with the mouth inside the mask in white, and the wreath surrounding the mask is not there. Below the mask is a ribboning banner that reads "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ENTERTAINMENT CO.</span>" On the right side above the ribbon, there is a small trademark symbol, and below the logo is the phrase "SIXTY YEARS OF GREAT ENTERTAINMENT" in white. Leo roars while the letters "M", "E" and "J" sparkle. | ||

* October 30, 1987-1992: There is a byline that reads "{{Font|Times New Roman|An MGM/UA Communications company}}". The byline was used intermittently from late 1988-1992, mainly on trailers. However, it makes an appearance on the original VHS release of ''Leviathan'' (another version has the bylineless logo). Films with this byline are generally preceded by the MGM/UA Communications logo. | * October 30, 1987-1992: There is a byline that reads "{{Font|Times New Roman|An MGM/UA Communications company}}".
