'''Visuals:'''
'''Visuals<u>Opening:'''</u> The standard lion logo as before, but the ribboning has been simplified and is now red; the "ARS GRATIA ARTIS" phrase is missing, along with the drama mask. Below the logo is "{{font|Candara|A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER}}" in a bold bright yellow font, with a giant "{{font|Candara|'''CARTOON'''}}" below it in the same color. "{{font|Calibri|COLOR BY}} {{font|Monotype Corsiva|Technicolor}}" (with "''Technicolor''" in script) follows, and the whole thing is on an upsdell red background. From 1946-1947, the words "{{font|Monotype Corsiva|In Technicolor}}" were seen below the logo.
<u>Closing:</u>
'''Closing Title:''' *A modified version of the 2nd logo, with a thicker font and a new placement for the word "CARTOON". Starting in 1950, the title was changed with "A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer" now in white letters and in different font and "CARTOON" in red letters and in different font as well. "{{font|Goudy Old Style|MADE IN HOLLYWOOD, U.S.A.}}" also appears at the bottom of the screen in white letters. Also, the MGM pseudo is dropped.
'*''Tom and Jerry Closing Title:''': Same as the previous logo. Around 1948-49, the end title has been slightly fixed to add a border to "and", and the dots in between "M.G.M". Starting in 1950 with "Safety Second", the words "{{font|Goudy Old Style|MADE IN HOLLYWOOD, U.S.A.}}" appear at the bottom of the screen. Shortly after, a drop shadow has been added to "{{font|Monotype Corsiva|''An''}}" and the Hollywood phrase.
'''*John Sutherland Closing Title: ''' Same as above, but only the words " {{font|Monotype Corsiva|The End }}" in thin white outlines and red colored letters was shown and " {{font|Goudy Old Style|MADE IN HOLLYWOOD, U.S.A. }}" appears at the bottom of the screen in white letters. ▼
▲'''John Sutherland Closing Title:''' Same as above, but only the words "{{font|Monotype Corsiva|The End}}" in thin white outlines and red colored letters was shown and "{{font|Goudy Old Style|MADE IN HOLLYWOOD, U.S.A.}}" appears at the bottom of the screen in white letters.
'''Variants:'''
*The final theatrical ''George and Junior'' cartoon, "Half-Pint Pygmy", has the duo holding up guns to their head. George pulls a blue "The End" background down and two gunshots are heard, shaking the card.
*On the reissue print of "The Blue Danube", the end title is on the same blue backdrop used in the opening credits.
*On "Little 'Tinker", the end title is on a red background.
*A black and white variant exists on prints of said colors. The logo is on a black background, the letters are now flat and the "{{font|Calibri|COLOR BY}} {{font|Monotype Corsiva|Technicolor}}" text is omitted.
'''Technique:''' Live-action footage, with a printed graphic composited over it.
'''Audio:''' The updated fanfare from the first logo, blending into the opening theme for the cartoon.
'''Availability:''' It premiered on the ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoon "The Two Mouseketeers", released on March 15, 1952 (although the next three cartoons released, "Smitten Kitten", "Triplet Trouble" and "One Cab's Family" still used the previous logo, so that the logo officially premiered on the ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoon "Little Runaway", released on June 14, 1952) and made its final appearance on "The Farm of Tomorrow", released on September 18, 1954. Because of the cartoons' release schedules being either posptoned or changed, around 1953, this logo would be used in tandem with the early variation of the next logo below (until the latter started being used entirely).
===5th Logo (September 5, 1953-August 1, 1958)===
'''Closing Title:''' Again, same as the 3rd logo, except this time the titles are condensed more towards the middle, to enable widescreen compatibility. The titles were also further modified for the CinemaScope cartoons.
'''Tom and Jerry Closing Title:'''
*The Academy version of the closing title is essentially the same as the previous versions, but this time the "An MGM" credit has been redrawn with thicker borders, and is noticeably smaller to accommodate flat widescreen ratios. Starting in 1956 (reissues only since the new CinemaScope cartoons were already using different closing titles), the "The End" text has been slightly redrawn again with even thicker borders to match the secondary closing titles. Also, "MADE IN HOLLYWOOD, U.S.A." is now in a different font.
*For the CinemaScope cartoons, there are three variants:
**First variant (November 20, 1954-November 19, 1955): Similar to the original title, but it's in widescreen and the background is {{color|orange}}. It was used on shorts from "Pet Peeve" to "That's My Mommy".
** Second variant (January 17-November 6, 1956): The "An M.G.M. Tom and Jerry CARTOON" secondary end title from before, now in different yellow fonts and put on a {{color|blue}} background. It was used on shorts from "The Flying Sorceress" to "Blue Cat Blues".
**Third variant (December 14, 1956-August 1, 1958): On a {{color|blue}} background, there is a pink square on the upper-left corner, an orange rectangle in the middle of the screen and a green square on the bottom-right corner. In the pink square is the word "an", on the orange rectangle are the words "M.G.M CARTOON", and on the green square are the words "made in Hollywood, U.S.A.". It was first used on "Barbecue Brawl" and its last appearance was on "Tot Watchers".
'''Technique:''' Live-action footage, with a printed graphic composited over it.
*It can easily be seen on various cartoons as well as plastering previous logos on older cartoons on TCM, Boomerang, and MeTV (as Cartoon Network no longer airs classic ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoons as of January 2016).
*Until 1954, because of release schedules being changed or turned upside down, the logo was used in tandem with the previous one from above, this one being permanently used starting with the short "Neapolitan Mouse" on October 2, 1954, and has appeared on the remaining cartoons from the MGM cartoon studio since. As told already, it made its final appearance on the last ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoon by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera "Tot Watchers", released on August 1, 1958.
*It is also preserved on the ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoon "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse" on the Warner Bros. Classics YouTube channel.
===6th Logo (September 7, 1961-December 31, 1967)===

'''Visuals:'''
'''Visuals*<u>Opening:'''</u> Essentially the new MGM lion design that had been put into use on films around this time, only with "{{color|red|A}}" and "{{color|red|'''CARTOON'''}}" tacked on to the bottom in red.
*<u>Closing:</u>
'''**Gene Deitch Closing Title:''' They varied with the cartoon. On a background depending on the cartoon, there are the words "THE END", with "AN MGM CARTOON" below. "Carmen Get It!", however, has a group of ants come on the musical notes book to form the words "THE END".
'''**Chuck Jones Closing Title:''' "the end" appears on black, fading to "A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer TOM AND JERRY CARTOON" on black, with "Made in Hollywood, USA" below it. On non-Tom and Jerry cartoons, It would just read "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER CARTOON" with "Made in Hollywood, USA" below it on the bottom right of the black screen. On ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoons where "The End" is seen within the final shot, the "the end" part is skipped and goes straight to "A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer TOM AND JERRY CARTOON".
'''Variants:'''
*1963-1967: The updated 1st logo fanfare leading into the trademark ''Tom and Jerry'' music with the 1960 roaring soundtrack. For non-Tom and Jerry cartoons, a different fanfare is used.
'''Availability:'''
*The Leo version was seen on ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoons produced by Gene Deitch and William Snyder in the former Czechoslovakia, as well as on "The Dot and The Line", which are still rerun on Boomerang on a semi-regular basis and on MeTV as part of its ''Toon In with Me'' and ''Saturday Morning Cartoons'' blocks (all of them have also been released on DVD.)
*The Leo version was also seen on 60s theatrical re-releases of some 1940-1958 MGM cartoons done in Metrocolor (mainly to mask the "TECHNICOLOR" references), which were kept on old television prints of ''Tom and Jerry'' shorts such as "Puss n' Toots", "The Bowling Alley-Cat", "Sufferin' Cats!", "The Lonesome Mouse", "The Zoot Cat", "Mouse Trouble", "Quiet Please!", "The Milky Waif", "The Invisible Mouse" and "Saturday Evening Puss" (with the exception of the last one, they were kept on the Spotlight Collection DVD Volume 1 and the discontinued Blu-ray Golden Collection set), old prints of "Rock-a-Bye Bear" on Boomerang, and the Boomerang Germany print of the ''Barney Bear'' cartoon "Half-Pint Palomino".
