* During WWII, the "{{font|Monotype Corsiva|The End}}" words were moved to the top of the screen and the pseudo logo was moved to the bottom, to give space for the following advertisement:<center> "AMERICA NEEDS YOUR MONEY<br> BUY DEFENSE BONDS AND STAMPS<br> EVERY PAY DAY" </center>
* On the ''Barney Bear'' cartoon "The Bear and the Beavers", the end title is in the form of a page. Then the WWII disclaimer fades onto the screen.

* This logo (with Tanner) was used on the earliest ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoons, but the much more common reissue prints replace this with the 3rd, 4th, or 5th logos, or on a few occasions, the 6th logo.
* All ''Flip the Frog'' cartoons, alongside most ''Willie Whopper'' cartoons and the ''Happy Harmonies'' cartoon "To Spring" are in the public domain, so it should be easy to find on those.
* This doesn't appear on the first two ''Flip the Frog'' cartoons, since they had been released by Celebrity Productions before MGM started holding the distribution rights to the series.

'''Legacy:''' As said in the legacy section of the 6th MGM logo, those who grew up on ''Tom and Jerry'' consider Tanner a favorite. Same applies with the other logos. The logos had also been fondly recognized by those that admire the directional works by Tex Avery.

*Edited appearances of "The Cat That Hated People" in Hollywood Studios' Sci-Fi Theater in Walt Disney World have the opening logo cut off (likely to avoid any mention of another film company in a Disney Park, even though Hollywood Studios was formerly known as Disney-MGM Studios) but retain the closing logo.

*It officially premiered on the ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoon "Just Ducky", released on September 5, 1953. 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.
'''Legacy:''' See above.
===6th Logo (September 7, 1961-December 31, 1967)===
'''Audio:'''
*19601961-1962: The updated 1st logo fanfare, plus, with the lion roar, it had three roar tracks: the 1960 roar, another which sounded like a yawning roar, and on "Calypso Cat" a fierce-sounding roar. Both roars were made by Tod Dockstader.
*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.
*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".
*Like with the 3rd logo, Sci-Fi Theater-edited airings of "Mouse Into Space" cut off the opening logo, but keep the ending logo.
*The Tanner version was seen on the Chuck Jones-produced ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoons, plus on "The Bear That Wasn't" (the one where the lion doesn't fade to Tom and the very last theatrical MGM cartoon from the golden age of animation), 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, and all are available on DVD.
'''Legacy:''' ThisThe reputation this logo has is fairly bad in general. The Leo version is quite controversial for its association with the Gene Deitch era of ''Tom and Jerry''. The Tanner version of the logo, whilehowever is well-received for its creative concept on the ''Tom and Jerry'' cartoons, but has a fairly bad reputation for appearingappeared on one of the most deeply polarizing eras of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoons, when production moved back in-house at Chuck Jones' Sib Tower 12 Productions with a mostly new crew and substantially smaller budgets. The Leo version however, is quite controversial for its association with the Gene Deitch era of ''Tom and Jerry''.
