Nickname: "Leo the Lion"
Logo: On a light blue background is a rectangle with a blue border. On the left is a small yellow rectangle. On top is a circle with the 1957 MGM lion with "MGM" below in blue (it is most likely supposed to be the 1967 abstract lion logo). Aside the lion is:

in yellow and in the Peignot font. The lion roars once.
FX/SFX: Just Leo roaring and his usual movements.
Music/Sounds: The first roar from the 1960 roar track.
Availability: Extremely rare, if not extinct. Seen on re-issue trailers of MGM movies from the timeframe such as the 1970 re-issue trailer of The Wizard of Oz.
Editor’s Note: An interesting logo from a forgotten division of MGM.
