'''Visuals:''' The standard MGM logo is posed against a {{color|teal|light blue}} shaded background. Without "TRADE MARK" word and the drama mask, the lion cubs stay in place. We see Leo inside a filmstrip circle with four filmstrips. The text "MGM/UA FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT", with two lines above and below the name, is at the bottom of the cubs. Leo roars twice.
'''Trivia:''' This was originally introduced as a print logo on the VHS reprints of ''The Black Stallion'', ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'', ''All Dogs Go to Heaven'', and ''The Secret of NIMH'', which were released on August 31, 1994.
'''Variants:'''
* There is a high-quality gold variant with no animation used in some video games. The lines and text are white-colored. ''The Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink'' uses this variant, with a copyright for United Artists.
* On ''All Dogs Go To Heaven Activity Center'' and ''Babes in Toyland'', the frame rate of MGM lion roaring is uneven.
* Some trailers have the logo shortened, using the lion's first roar.
'''Technique:''' Live-action footage.
'''Audio:''' Leo's 1994 roar. However, an edited version of the first roar plays instead of the actual second roar.
'''Audio Variants:'''
* On the PC software titles such as ''Babes in Toyland'', ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Adventure in Tinker Town'' and ''All Dogs Go To Heaven Activity Center'', the 1995 roar is used.
** On ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Adventure in Tinker Town'', the 1994 roar is in a lower tone.
'''Availability:''' It's generally found on material released under the MGM/UA Family Entertainment banner (and promos for films released under it).
* Titles with this logo include the 1995 VHS release of ''The Pebble and the Penguin'', a 1998 print of ''The Princess Bride'' as well as earlier VHS releases of ''All Dogs Go To Heaven 2'' and ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'', respectively.
* The 1998 release of ''Napoleon'' (1995) also has this logo despite being branded as an [[Orion Home Video]] release on the packaging (as MGM was using Orion to get around their deal with Warner Home Video at the time); later prints have the MGM Family Entertainment logo on the box and MGM ink labels.
* Also exists on some interactive child-oriented games based on some animated films such as ''All Dogs Go To Heaven Activity Center''.
* It also appeared on several international releases from [[Warner Home Video]].

'''Visuals:''' We have the same MGM lion and the cubs (added with two) as before, inside a half {{color|blue|dark teal}} oval-cut on an {{color|orange}} shaded background. Underneath the lion is a gold drama mask. Above the logo is a {{color|gold}} engraved bar that reads "MGM FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT". Leo roars once.
'''Technique:''' Live-action footage.
'''Audio:''' Leo's roaring, alongside the beginning of the promo.
'''Availability:''' It was used on a promo for releases released under the division.
