'''Legacy:''' This Tanner version of the logo, while well-received for its concept on ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoons, has a fairly bad reputation for appearing on one of the most deeply polarizing eras of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoons, when production moved back in-house at Chuck Jones' Sib Tower 12 Productions with a mostly new crew and substantially smaller budgets. The Leo version however, is quite controversial for its association with the Gene Deitch era of ''Tom and Jerry''. | '''Legacy:''' This Tanner version of the logo, while well-received for its concept on ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoons, has a fairly bad reputation for appearing on one of the most deeply polarizing eras of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoons, when production moved back in-house at Chuck Jones' Sib Tower 12 Productions with a mostly new crew and substantially smaller budgets.
