The ribbons on either side of the circle unfurl into their familiar form as Leo (now a CGI rendering of the 1957 footage) fades in and roars. The mask (once again redesigned, with a solid mouth) 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. | ||

'''Availability:''' Brand new. It was first uploaded to MGM's official YouTube channel on March 8, 2021. The logo was originally supposed to debut on November 8, 2019 with the James Bond film ''No Time to Die'', but was delayed several times due to Boyle's departure and the COVID-19 pandemic, and is now scheduled for release on September 30, 2021 in the United Kingdom and on October 8, 2021 in the United States. As such, it is expected to make its first theatrical appearances on the film ''Dog'', which will be released on July 16, 2021, and ''Respect'', which will debut a month later. The previous logo is still in use as of this writing, though that could change in the perceptible future. | '''Availability:''' Brand new.

'''Editor's Note:''' It's a nice update to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo everyone knows and loves, though the CGI Leo could be a bit hard to adjust to for some people. | '''Editor's Note:''' It's a nice update to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo everyone knows and loves, though the CGI Leo could be a bit hard to adjust to for some people.
