Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)
MGM’s "Leo the Lion" was designed in 1924 by Howard Deitz, an MGM studio publicist. At the time, the studio was Goldwyn Picture Corporation, owned by Samuel Goldwyn. Dietz based his design on the athletic mascot of his Columbia University, his alma mater. Later, when Goldwyn Pictures merged with Louis B. Mayer Pictures and Metro Pictures Corporation, the new company - Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer - retained the Leo the Lion logo.

Since the merger, five lions have been used to portray Leo. The first lion, named Slats, was a stalwart of the silent films from MGM between 1924 and 1928. The second lion, named Jackie, was responsible for the first roar from an MGM lion ever heard by an audience. Although the movies were still silent, Jackie’s roar was played on a phonograph in the theater while the logo was displayed on the screen. Later, Jackie was the first lion to be shown in Technicolor in 1932. The third lion was Tanner, and the fourth, who had a thick and luxurious mane, didn’t actually have a name. The last lion was Leo, and MGM has used Leo as their mascot since 1957. The motto beneath Leo’s picture is "Ars Grata Artis" - "Art for Art’s Sake."
