<u>Logo:</u> A new lion appears, named Leo. The script "Metro Goldwyn Mayer" is in a new font. The wreath and the mask are redrawn once again, and the ribboning on the sides is stretched out even more. Leo roars at first, then turns his head to his right. He would roar again for the second time and look away, and would do the same thing on his third roar and would look away for the final time. | <u>Logo:</u> A new lion appears, named Leo.

*From 1983-February 21, 1986 and July 10, 1987, the marquee name was altered to read "MGM/UA Entertainment Co.", following their acquisition of United Artists in 1981. Also, on UA releases of the era, this logo preceded the United Artists on-screen text. Starting with the release of ''Dream Lover'' on February 28, 1986, it reverted back to the name "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer". However, the MGM/UA variant appeared on the 1987 film O.C. and Stiggs. The film was originally made in 1985 and was shelved for two years. | *From 1983-February 21, 1986 and July 10, 1987, the marquee name was altered to read "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">MGM/UA Entertainment Co.</span>", following their acquisition of United Artists in 1981.
