One hundred years of cinematic history is about to change, as MGM Studios for the first time will use CGI to create the iconic lion that adorns its endearing logo, one of the most recognizable in the Hollywood industry .
The study took the initiative to present through Youtube a commemorative video in which the different versions of its logo can be seen, resulting in the new image that the brand will now present.
Since the inception of the company, a total of eight lions have been employed in the logo changes and redesign at the start of each of its productions since 1924, but now for the first time a computer graphics generated image will be used, which is almost identical to a real animal.
This new version of Leo the lion in CGI was set to debut in the movie ” No Time to Die ” But the fact that he was delayed numerous times in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic , executives became anxious to make this disclosure.
The first lion in the study did not feature his iconic roar, and during Hollywood ‘s heyday would have been changed by À M to ” Tom and Jerry ” or on rare occasions, one of the Marx siblings. . For a brief period in the 1960s, the studio replaced the royal lion with stylized graphics.
The new edition of the logo is almost identical to the one we are all familiar with, only that the animation would show, for a brief moment, the English translation of the studio’s motto, which has always been shown in Latin and which means “Art by the good of art ”.
