'''Logo:''' The standard MGM logo is posed against a {{color|teal|light blue}} shaded background. Without "TRADE MARK" word and the drama mask, the lion cubs stay in place. We see Leo inside a filmstrip circle with four filmstrips. The text "MGM/UA FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT", with two lines above and below the name, is at the bottom of the cubs. Leo roars twice.
 
'''Trivia:''' This was originally introduced as a print logo on the VHS reprints of ''The Black Stallion, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, All Dogs Go to Heaven, and The Secret of NIMH'', which were released on August 31, 1994.
 
'''Variants:'''
* There is a high-quality gold variant with no animation used in some video games. The lines and text are white-colored.
* On ''All Dogs Go To Heaven Activity Center'' and ''Babes in Toyland'', the frame rate of MGM lion roaring is uneven.
* Some trailers have the logo shortened, using the lion's first roar.
 
'''Technique:''' Live-action footage.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' Leo's 1994 roar. However on the second roar, it's the same first roar, only edited.
 
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
* On the PC software titles such as ''Babes in Toyland'', ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Adventure in Tinker Town'' and ''All Dogs Go To Heaven Activity Center'', the 1995 roar is used.
** On ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Adventure in Tinker Town'', the 1994 roar is in a lower tone.
 
'''Availability:''' Uncommon.
* Found on material released under the MGM/UA Family Entertainment division.
* One example of this is the 1995 VHS release of ''The Pebble and the Penguin''.
* It also appears on promos for releases released under the division.
* Also exists on some interactive child-oriented games based on some animated films such as ''All Dogs Go To Heaven Activity Center''.
* Was also seen on a 1998 print of ''The Princess Bride'' as well as earlier VHS releases of ''All Dogs Go To Heaven 2'' and ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang''.
* Also appeared on several international releases from [[Warner Home Video]].
