The Logo Corner: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Films, Inc. (Episode 2) [PART 1 of 3]

Part 2: • The Logo Corner: Metro...
Part 3: • The Logo Corner: Metro...
Welcome to Episode 2 of the Logo Corner. And what a behemoth of an episode it is.
This episode revolves around everyone's favorite movie lion, Leo, and his participation in the logo of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Films, Inc.
Because Sony Vegas kept quitting in the middle of rendering this monster, I had to split the video in three parts. That also means there's no "Cutoff Point" screen, so the videos may end awkwardly. I apologize for that, but I'd rather a chopped series of videos than ones that do not render properly.
In addition, I make several errors in this series of videos. I mention how George (the sixth MGM lion) debuted in 1956, though while the text shows that, I say he comes into the logo in 1953, which is not true.
I blame society.
This is part 1 of the episode. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching this quirky series. Hopefully I'll be able to make some more episodes! Thank you for watching and please comment.

[@BlazeTheMovieFan]

This is a very interesting video indeed and I can tell you did a lot of research.

[@ericwisk5528]

Awesome, another YB91 video!

[@Musicradio77Network]

This was the first movie studio to scare the audience along with kids. I was a kid when I was afraid of the MGM logos including the lions, but those were very creepy and it was the logo's first nightmare, long before the Screen Gems "S from Hell" and the Viacom "V of Doom" came along. I've seen those MGM lions over the years and they are way too scary and frightening, but not anymore. I remember running away from the TV before any MGM logo came on or hide under the cover before the lion appears. That brings back horrified memories from my childhood.

Respect you, man✊😎

[@Empirewild]

Oh god, a YBF91 video. I came all over my computer

[@DarkstarArchangel]

I admire and find it interesting that your new video series "The Logo Corner" would talk about this interesting real-cinematic action Logo and how they recorded the Lion as a mascot for their logo, and each detail in the logo.
Interesting take, Benjamin.

[@NeonSinisterTV]

I'm assuming it Youngblood's real name.

[@Jessica_Kirk]

0:27 SHUT UP AND CALL THE DUBLIN ZOO!!!! 😂

[@AlexPerrine]

I saw a logo for Louis B Mayer Pictures when I was on Logopedia

[@bluballanimations]

Well look who unprivated the logo corner

[@raduvicol3344]

Lion! Leaving Stan and Bran alone!

[@cartoonosaurus]

Am I the only one who noticed how, in earlier versions of the logo, the Metro, Goldwyn, and Mayer are in different fonts? Infact, I have reason to suspect that these were the fonts used in their respective company logos.

[@TheSwordsmanInBlack]

Yay! Another ybf91 video!

[@ryanhinckley6472]

Who else was freaked out of this logo when they were younger?

[@MarcAquino1095]

youngbloodfantasy91 Where was that Laurel and Hardy clip in the beginning from?

[@SaraHouck461]

It was from "The Chimp," which could easily explain a chimp in that clip.

[@cameronsparks5308]

So Why Slats The Lion So Quite??
