Background
MGM DVD was a brand owned by MGM Home Entertainment, created to release DVDs of MGM-owned material.
1st Logo (1998-2007)
Visuals: 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 letters of "MGM DVD" zoom out onto the oval one-by-one. The oval and circle disappear in a flash of light, and the remaining texts move closer to each other.
Trivia: On international DVD releases, this logo has been duplicated into two titles depending on which release (e.g. on the UK DVD release of Tank Girl, Title 1 (the logo itself) was used to precede the language selection screen while Title 4 (the duplicate) was used to proceed the copyright screen at the end of the disc).
Technique: CGI, with live-action Leo footage.
Audio: A whoosh and a different but very loud roar sound effect. Six cello notes are heard as the letters come in, as well as an orchestral hit at the end, and synth chimes.
Availability: Appears on all 1998-2003 MGM DVD releases such as The Great Escape, Bad Influence, Overboard, UHF, Mannequin, Fluke, The Care Bears Movie, Legally Blonde, Heartbreakers, Barbershop, Spaceballs, The Pride of the Yankees, Igby Goes Down, Original Sin, Antitrust, Autumn in New York, Truly Madly Deeply, the original 2003 North American DVD releases of the DIC Movie Toons, and the Rocky 25th Anniversary DVD box set.
- This logo also makes surprise appearances on the 2004 DVD release of Lightning, the White Stallion, and the 2005 DVD release of The Last Waltz.
- Despite being retired in North America in 2003 and replaced with the next logo, this logo continued to be used on Fox-distributed DVD releases internationally until late 2006 (e.g. the 2005 Australian Region 4 Special Edition/Gold Edition DVD release of Rain Man).
- Some isolated Australian DVD releases (presumably using masters prepared earlier or used for earlier DVD releases) used it into 2007, including the 2007 Australian Deluxe Edition DVD release of Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) and the 2007 Australian DVD release of Teen Wolf.
- Some earlier international DVD prints from Warner Home Video (e.g. the 1999 releases of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly) and Australian DVD releases until sometime in 2001 (e.g. The Secret of NIMH and 12 Angry Men, both of which have the print logo on their covers) don't use this logo, instead just using the standard 1986 logo for de-facto purposes.
- Early copies of the 1999 Warner Home Video reprint of 2001: A Space Odyssey also have this logo retained from the 1998 release, but was later replaced by the 1996 WHV logo in later print runs (after the first print run of the original Stanley Kubrick Collection) and on the remastered 2001 DVD release.
2nd Logo (2003-September 24, 2019)
Visuals: 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 from 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 the camera. As the last circle flies towards the camera, two golden rings appear in the center rotating and collapse into the MGM DVD logo (in gray), surrounded by a red aura and a gold outline. Leo roars once in it, and after that, the logo quickly zooms into the screen before cutting to black.
Technique: CGI, with live-action film clips and Leo footage.
Audio: 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.
Availability: Appears on a lot of DVD releases of MGM-owned output released from this period, such as Good Boy!, the Ultimate Editions of the first 19 James Bond films as well as both editions of Die Another Day, The Pink Panther (1963), The Pink Panther Cartoon Collection, Beauty Shop, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, and The Indian Fighter, as well as the Collector's Editions of Spaceballs, Get Shorty, and Red Dawn (1984), the 2004 Rocky Anthology box set, Spaceballs: The Animated Series and Hot Tub Time Machine.
- This logo was not used outside North America until late 2006. It is usually preceded by the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment logo from the time period in these regions.
- It also does not appear on family-oriented DVD releases from this period (ie. Hi-5 ), as they use the 2003 MGM Kids logo instead.
- As MGM became more of a film financer in 2011, this logo began to be used less frequently, with only DVD releases of films MGM co-produced but held the home video rights to, films from Orion Pictures, back-catalog MGM films released by Fox, or TV shows utilizing this logo.
- It also does not appear on MGM releases distributed by Universal on DVD and Blu-ray, such as the 2018 remake of Death Wish, The Addams Family (2019), its sequel and No Time to Die (2021), among others.
