'''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. | '''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.

A bright light is seen filtering out of the words in the ribbon, filling it with gold. By the time the light fades away from the right, the ribbon gains an extremely shiny metallic luster (even brighter and shinier than the previous logos) and the English translation changes back to its familiar Latin version. The ribbons on either side of the circle unfurl into their familiar form as Leo (now an updated, much more detailed and photorealistic CGI rendering of the 1957 footage) fades in and roars. The mask (once again redesigned, with a solid mouth this time) and leaf-like design around it grow and fade from the darkness, and the company name zooms out (just like the previous logo) and shines on top of the ribbon, with "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">{{Font color|gold|TRADE MARK}}</span>" fading in shortly after. | ||

'''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:''' Though the CGI Leo could take some time for some people to get used to, this is an absolutely stunning update to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo everyone knows and loves, especially since the 100th anniversary is approaching. This is also the first time the English translation of the Latin phrase has appeared on screen, which is an excellent touch alongside the fanfare. | '''Editor's Note:''' Though the CGI Leo could take some time for some people to get used to, he nonetheless looks truly amazing due to him looking much more lifelike than ever before, and this logo is an absolutely stunning update to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo everyone knows and loves, especially since the 100th anniversary is approaching. This is also the first time the English translation of the Latin phrase has appeared on screen, which is an excellent touch alongside the beautiful fanfare. | ||
