MGM lion
Golden circle beast
The MGM lion is the roaring lion that appears at the beginning of films produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, one of Hollywood's oldest studios.
The iconic image—a lion framed by a ribbon of film—has introduced MGM pictures since the 1920s, making it among the most recognized logos in cinema.
Several lions have served as the mascot over the decades, with Leo the Lion appearing since 1957.
