Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios: Difference between revisions

* In Turner's colourized versions, the ribboning is in a {{color|#E5890A|brownish-gold}} color, the wreath is green, and the mask is red.

* There's another colourized variant of the 1938 version, with the ribboning in either {{color|#E5890A|brownish-gold}}, {{color|#FFD93D|pastel yellow}}, {{color|#F2D64A|goldenrod}}, or silver.

* For the Tanner version, there are two versions. One has the ribbons in {{color|silver|silver}} and the other in gold.

* 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. This became the basis of Leo's two roar footage.

'''Visuals:''' On a blue background, there is a {{color|gold|yellow-orange}} outlined drawing of a lion's head in a circle. Below it are the letters "'''MGM'''" in {{color|gold|yellow-orange}}.

* A variant has the background color {{color|teal|teal-green}}, the lion drawing is now white and bigger, and "'''MGM'''" is smaller.

'''Visuals:''' Same as the 9th logo, but most of the logo is now colored in gold instead of white. The mask also appears in a darker {{color|darkred|red}} color. Leo roars twice as usual, sometimes once.

'''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. The camera zooms out to reveal 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 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 it is 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.

* During their 100th anniversary, a golden "{{color|gold|100}}" appears in front of the ribboning (with the camera focusing on it) before settling into the circle. The number then disappears in dust (meaning that the footage appears a bit late) and the logo plays as normal, but a golden glow is shown to reveal the text "{{color|gold|'''100 YEARS OF ENTERTAINMENT'''}}", wiping from the middle to both the left and right sides. The glow then dissipates, and the text shines slightly.
