Logos[]
1st logo: On a black background, a red oval rotates onto the screen. A small red circle with the MGM logo in it fades in, and we hear Leo roaring loudly in it. The golden letters "MGM DVD" zoom out onto the oval one-by-one. However, Leo the Lion, the oval and circle all disappear in a flash of light, and the remaining text moves closer to each other.
2nd logo: On a black background, a flash of light emerges from the screen and circles showing clips from MGM-owned movies (in order: Pierce Brosnan from GoldenEye, the titular characters of Thelma & Louise, Raymond and Charlie Babbitt from Rain Man, Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs, Steve McQueen's motorcycle jump from The Great Escape, Marilyn Monroe from Some Like It Hot, Willem Dafoe's death scene from Platoon, Frances McDormand from Fargo, Reese Witherspoon from Legally Blonde and Rocky's victory pose after running up the steps in Rocky) fly toward us. As the last circle flies towards us, two golden rings appear in the center rotating and collapse into the MGM DVD logo (in gray), surrounded by a red aura and a yellow outline. Leo roars once in it, and after that, the logo quickly zooms into the screen before cutting to black.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo: A whoosh and a different but very loud roar sound effect when Leo roars once. 6 cello notes are heard as the letters come in, as well as an orchestral hit at the end, and synth chimes.
2nd logo: A commanding orchestral fanfare ending with a triumphant finish, which is a snippet of the stock musical piece "Ultimate Glory" by Anthony DiLorenzo. The appearance of the MGM logo is marked with a loud explosion sound, and the 1995 roar is heard when Leo is seen.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo: Low. The flash and Leo's different loud roars will scare some young viewers, especially those who don't like roaring lions. However, this is a cool logo.
2nd logo: None to low. Its sudden appearance will make a few jump, not to mention the loud music and Leo's roar, but it's otherwise an excellent logo.
