Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' We see the original lion, name unknown, nicknamed "Leo" by Samuel Goldwyn, in the circle of a ribbon-like filmstrips which has two filmstrips flowing out the bottom side, which looks like it's in twos. Underneath the circle is a Greek drama mask. A wreath surrounds it. The circle has the phrase "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">ARS GRATIA ARTIS</span>" [Latin for "Art for Art's Sake"] inscribed at the top, and at the bottom is a marquee that reads "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">A GOLDWYN PICTURE</span>". On the left side is the word "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">TRADE</span>", and the right "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">MARK</span>". The lion moves his head left to right throughout and does not roar, due to movies being silent at the time of this logos creation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A cougar's roar, which was also used for Jackie in the 1932 variant of the previous logo. Someme movies would only have the music's intro or the music and Telly's roar.  

*A still version exists, which can be seen at the end of films such as ''Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters'', ''G.I. Joe: Retaliation'', the remakes of ''Carrie'', ''RoboCop'', and ''Poltergeist'', the first two ''Creed'' films, ''Tomb Raider (2018)'', ''Fighting With My Family'', ''The Hustle'', and ''The Addams Family (2019)''.

*A short version appears at the end of some newer prints of older films released by Orion Pictures and United Artists, and made a surprise apperance at the end of the 2015 film ''Spectre''.

*On some films, the movement of Leo's eye varies. Sometimes it looks straight at the camera, and other times it moves as if Leo was looking around, either once or twice.

'''Nicknames:''' "Leo the Lion VII", "Zooming Ribboning II", "Art for Art's Sake", "CGI Leo", "The Lion's New Design", "Animated Lion", "2020s Lion", "The Lion of King Midas"

'''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, filling it with gold. By the time the light fades away from the right, the ribbon gains an extremely shiny metallic luster (even brighter, shinier and much more realistic than that of 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, complete with a longer mane and an enhanced color palette) fades in and roars as always. 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. The entire logo has a subtle golden shine around it.

'''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 appearing much more lifelike than ever before thanks to his hyperrealistic appearance. This logo is an absolutely stunning update to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo everyone knows and loves, especially since the 100th anniversary is approaching. Even better is the fact that 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.
