On March 8, 2021, MGM updated their 97-year-old lion logo with CGI, in contrast to the real lions used previously. This has been the first major update to the logo since 1957, the year when Leo was introduced.

Despite the then-new on-screen logo being introduced, it uses the monogram wordmark rather than a print logo like the other preceded logos.
