The other 1924 logo is the Metro-Goldwyn Pictures logo ID. This was used in endcap for _He Who Gets Slapped_ and _Greed_ (both 1924) and other movies until 1925.

3rd Logo
(1923-1924)

Nicknames: "The Silent/Quiet Lion II", "The Slightly Roaring Lion"

Logo: The ribboning and the marquee look the same as the first one, but with a different lion. The logo begins with the lion (name unknown, possibly Slats?) staring to one side, then immediately skips after a second to the lion staring at the other side, then it skips to the lion looking down, turning his head, and looks at the camera. After that, he roars a bit. After a second, it skips to the lion looking directly at the camera.

Variants:

• There is also a sepia-toned version.

• An extremely rare version of this logo was spotted on an 2011 CBS Sunday morning news broadcast. Here, the image of this logo is brighter due to film deterioration, and the position of the lion is different, with him looking at the camera like in the standard version. Currently, this version of the logo is lost due to the vault fire.

FX/SFX: The lion moving with skips throughout the footage, most likely due to film deterioration.

Music/Sounds: None, or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Near extinction. The only known surviving movies containing this logo are _Wild Oranges_ and _Souls for Sale._

Maybe this was a logo variation by MGM because with the orange filter, it seems fitting with the name "Wild ORANGES."

This can be found on 2011 CBS Sunday Morning and TCM Silent Sunday Nights.

Did Goldwyn Pictures stole this logo idea from MGM? If they did, MGM oughta sue Goldwyn.
