'''Editor's Note:''' Actual footage from this logo's production, dated June 24, 1955, has been preserved and can be seen in the Widescreen Museum. George isn't as well known as the other lions, due to his very brief tenure as the MGM lion. | '''Editor's Note:''' Actual footage from this logo's production, dated June 24, 1955, has been preserved and can be seen in the Widescreen Museum.

'''Editor's Note:''' Like the 9th logo, it's one of the most popular logos ever. However, some people don't like the 2001 website variant of this logo, since it plasters so many older logos. | '''Editor's Note:''' Like the 9th logo, it's one of the most popular logos ever.

'''Editor's Note:''' The history of this updated logo's creation is actually rather interesting. Although the 2008 roar track was a wasted effort. Why even make it if they decided to stick with the 1995 roar? | '''Editor's Note:''' The history of this updated logo's creation is actually rather interesting.

'''Editor's Note:''' A great effort to modernize the MGM logo. The moving filmstrips as well as the zooming out from the eye is a great touch to actually give the MGM logo a little more substance. However, the size of the ribbon is off-putting, as Leo's head doesn't fit in the circle anymore. | '''Editor's Note:''' A great effort to modernize the MGM logo.

''' | '''Logo:''' On a black background, a golden, rounded square passes by, bringing in a bright light. Another square passes while we zoom out through another to reveal we were inside the golden filmstrip ribbon. The ribbon zooms out and settles in place, this time reading "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ART FOR ART'S SAKE</span>" (the English translation of the usual "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ARS GRATIA ARTIS</span>"). A bright light is seen filtering out of the words in the ribbon. The light fades away from the right, making the metallic lustre of the ribbon more obvious and changing the English translation back to its familiar Latin version. The ribbons on the left and right move as Leo fades in and roars. The mask and leaf-like design around it grow and fade from the darkness, and the company name zooms out and shines on top of the ribbon, "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">{{Font color|gold|TRADE MARK}}</span>" fading in. | ||
