I just did a bit of research and see that that "modernized Leo" logo
also on the poster for NETWORK from 1976. The mystery continues.

hi all
further to the conversation about the 1966-1968 mgm medalion logo
that we had in october, i just passed my framed Saul Bass "The Human
Factor" 1sh and saw the medallion logo features on it. on a a film
made 12 years after the logo had been phased out. i didn't believe
that Bass had been involved in the logo, but if it appears on one of
his posters so randomly then perhaps he was. either that, or it's a
remarkable, coincidental blunder by someone at the Bass studio.

Channing,
I just did some Google surfing to try and figure out anything about
the logo. I found an MGM historian's writing about the 5 lions that
have been used over the course of the studio's history. Regarding
the short lived logo, it appears it was only used 3 times including
2001: a space odyssey. So now we know two of three MGM titles
the logo was used for
Enter “Leo”, whose reign began in 1957 and despite a very brief
period between 1966-68, is still our mascot to the present day.
During those two brief years the “medallion” or “stylized” logo was
introduced, used on only three films, the most well known is “2001:
A Space Odyssey” in 1968.
Cannot find anything regarding Saul Bass's involvement.

I noticed the groovy 1968 MGM logo on the poster. This is also
seen on several other posters and I believe on the credits for
2001. From what I seem to recall, this modernized version of Leo
the Lion was designed by Saul Bass. Is that true or does someone
on MOPO know?
Thanks, Channing Thomson

Hey Guys!
I stumbled on an amazing one sheet for those collectors and
dealers who are big time fans of CLINT EASTWOOD (and who here
isn't?) and very rare style B versions. I have just listed on
Ebay a really rare version of WHERE EAGLES DARE STYLE B. And its
an auction and the starting price is very well priced for those
that know about this particular one sheet. Click link below. I
have also listed 2 great sci-fi inserts, IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE
and THE MYSTERIANS again all auctions, starting at reasonable
prices and in excellent condition. So check them out even just to
see a rare version of Eastwood's thrilling WWII epic from 1968.
