'''Logo:''' The standard lion logo as before, but the ribboning has been simplified and is now red; the "ARS GRATIA ARTIS" phrase is missing, along with the drama mask. Below the logo, we see "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER" in a bold bright yellow font, with a giant "CARTOON" below it in the same color. "COLOR BY {{font|Monotype Corsiva|Technicolor}}" (with "{{font|Monotype Corsiva|Technicolor}}" in script) follows, and the whole thing is on an upsdell red background. From 1946-1947, the words "{{font|Monotype Corsiva|In Technicolor}}" were seen below the logo. | '''Logo:''' The standard lion logo as before, but the ribboning has been simplified and is now red; the "ARS GRATIA ARTIS" phrase is missing, along with the drama mask.
