<u>Logo:</u> We have a new lion named "Slats" inside a newly redone film-like ribboning logo. Slats moves his head from right to left and then looks at the camera, and later looks around. The words "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">TRADE</span>" and "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">MARK</span>" are surrounding the circle containing Slats. Below the logo is a marquee that reads

<u>Logo:</u> A new MGM lion named "Jackie" appears in a slightly re-done film-like ribboning logo. Jackie roars three times and then looks at his trainer. The marquee "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''Metro'''</span>-<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''Goldwyn'''''</span>-Mayer" is seen below, the Latin phrase is inscribed on the circle, and the words "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">TRADE</span>" on the left and "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">MARK</span>" on the right outside of the circle.

<u>Logo:</u> Another lion named "Telly" appears in a new re-drawn film-like ribboning of the MGM logo. He is the first of the two two-strip Technicolor lions. Telly appears with a long snarl with two roaring sound effects. The usual MGM marquee is seen below. Everything but the lion is in a green hue.

<u>Logo:</u> Another two-strip Technicolor lion by the name of "Coffee" appears in a slightly re-drawn film-like ribboning and mask of the MGM logo. Coffee snarls by looking down and later roars. The Latin phrase is still shown inscribed on the circle. "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">TRADE</span>" and "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">MARK</span>" appear on different sides. The usual MGM marquee is seen below. The ribboning and wreath are white, and the mask is {{Font color|red|red}}.

<u>Logo:</u> A new lion named "Tanner" appears in this MGM logo. The Latin phrase on the circle is {{Font color|red|red}}, the words "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">TRADE</span>" and "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">MARK</span>" are {{Font color|gold|yellow}}, the {{Font color|red|red}} mask and the ribboning are re-drawn slightly with {{Font color|orange|orange}} accents on certain parts of the filmstrip ribbons. The wreath is {{Font color|gold|yellow}} and on the MGM marquee, the letters "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''M'''</span>", "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''G'''''</span>", and "M" are {{Font color|red|red}}, with the remainder of the letters in {{Font color|gold|yellow}}. Tanner roars three times in this one.

<u>Logo:</u> This time, the MGM marquee has been permanently dropped and the name "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''Metro'''</span>-<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''Goldwyn'''''</span>-Mayer" has been placed on top of the logo, minus the hyphens (-) in between the names. Jackie appears on black & white films and Tanner on color films. Also, a Registered trademark symbol is added underneath the left side of the filmstrip.

<u>Logo:</u> A new lion by the name of George appears in the studio's logo. The ribboning in the logo looks more stretched out than the earlier versions. The {{Font color|red|red}} mask below looks re-drawn and the wreath looks more stretched out below. The color of the letters "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''M'''</span>", "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''''G''''''</span>", and "M" are still {{Font color|red|red}}, but look faded. A registered trademark symbol has been added. The first version has the lion looking at the camera, then he turns away and starts roaring. Then he would later look back at the camera and roar again and snarl. The other would have the lion look at the camera first, then would roar while looking up and snarl at the end.

<u>Logo:</u> A new lion appears, named Leo. The script "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Metro Goldwyn Mayer</span>" 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> Same as the 8th logo, but at the top, "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">{{Font color|gold|'''Metro Goldwyn Mayer'''}}</span>", in the same font as the 1957 logo, is in {{Font color|gold|yellowish-gold}}. Inside the circle is the phrase "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">{{Font color|gold|'''BEGINNING OUR NEXT 50 YEARS...'''}}</span>", with "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''B'''</span>" a bit bigger and stretched vertically, also in {{Font color|gold|yellowish-gold}} as Leo roars. There would be a cross fade between the phrase and Leo. Instead of "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">TRADE MARK</span>" seen on the sides of the circle, "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">{{Font color|gold|'''GOLDEN'''}}</span>" is seen on the left and "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">{{Font color|gold|'''ANNIVERSARY'''}}</span>" is seen on the right in the same color. Leo would roar again two more times.

<u>Logo:</u> We see the 1957 MGM logo, but instead, the ribboning is in gold instead of white and will remain this way from this point forward. On top of the logo are the words "DIAMOND JUBILEE", arched in a white font. On the circle is inscribed "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">METRO GOLDWYN MAYER/UNITED ARTISTS</span>"" in {{Font color|red|red}}, instead of the usual Latin phrase. The mask is re-drawn once again, with the mouth inside the mask in white, and the wreath surrounding the mask is not there. Below the mask is a ribboning banner that reads "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ENTERTAINMENT CO.</span>" On the right side above the ribbon, there is a small trademark symbol "TM", and below the logo is the phrase "SIXTY YEARS OF GREAT ENTERTAINMENT" in white. Leo roars while the letters "M", "E" and "J" sparkle.

<u>Logo:</u> The logo is the same as the 1984 logo, minus the "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ENTERTAINMENT CO.</span>" banner beneath the {{Font color|red|red}} mask. The company name is now {{Font color|gold|golden colored}}, and will remain this way from this point forward. The mask appears in a darker {{Font color|darkred|red}} color. Leo roars twice as usual.

<u>Logo:</u> The text, ribbons, and mask, along with its wreath, are now all in a lighter, more metallic-looking shade of {{Font color|gold|gold}}. The web address below the lion now reads "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">'''MGM.COM'''</span>". Leo roars twice.

</gallery>

<u>Logo:</u> On a black background, we see flickers of light. The image then pulls back to reveal that it is a pupil, an extreme close-up of Leo's eye. We then see Leo, the ribboning, mask and the words "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">{{Font color|gold|TRADE MARK}}</span>" on both sides (from the previous logo, all in {{Font color|gold|gold}} and metallic) ease back with the ribbons moving, 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. The mask is also different as well. Leo roars as this happens.
