Closing Screen:
On a burlap background, the text "The End" (in the same script as the one used in the B/W Disney Cartoon reissue titles) appears at the center. Below is "A FOX-IMPERIAL PRODUCTION" on a serif or sans-serif font. Below, it shows the distributor's logo (Walt Disney Productions from 1925 to 1984) with "DISTRIBUTED BY" at the top of the distributor's logo. Sometimes, it uses a black background, or is superimposed over the ending scene of the film. A customized version was used on The Bowery, with the film's name on top of "The End".

Technique:
The searchlights in the background.

Sounds:
A 12-note theme was used from February 28th, 1925 to October 6th, 1932. From October 13th, 1932 to May 5th, 1935, the 20th Century Pictures fanfare is used. Sometimes, the opening theme is used.

The 1989-1994 variant had a rearranged version of the fanfare from Cincinnati Pops Orchestra by Erich Kunzel on July 15, 1990.
On international prints of Airport, the theme from the next logo is used, due to a plaster error.

The Chase variant has the fanfare from the aforementioned film.
Various prints of Rising Dough (1983) prior to 2022 has this logo with the 2005 Lionsgate and 1982 20th Century Fox fanfares playing at the same time due to a plaster error. This is corrected on current prints of the movie.

The orchestra is 3 times bigger and the fanfare has more reverberation/echo, and larger brass and string sections than other MAP fanfares. However, some films such as Boomer (released on April 21, 2006) used this fanfare instead of the 1997 fanfare for some reason.

Closing Screen:
October 23, 2009-February 19, 2020: Like the previous two closing variants, a short version (with very subtle camera pan) is seen with "DISTRIBUTED BY" above the structure in the same font as the byline. Just the finished product of the logo.
"DISTRIBUTED BY" is now removed in this version. On the regional releases of Epic and Rio 2, the print logo is shown. On Minority ZR Lando and Shrub Garden 2: The Heatwave, the entire animation is used without the fanfare. The Cowellan release of the former has the fanfare in a slightly high pitch.
On The Present Day, a still shot of the 2nd logo is used.

Technique:
Same as the 2009 20th Century Fox logo.

On The Present Day, the 2002 fanfare from the 2nd logo is used.
On some current regional prints of The Pagemaster, the 1994 Fox fanfare arrangement is used, due to sloppy plastering. On the regional release of Rio 2, the fanfare is remixed to sound like a carnival. On the Cowellan and regional releases of Joyride 3: Roadkill (including 4K prints), the fanfare from the 2008 logo is heard.

Presence: This logo was ultra common during its run, but it's now very rare, due to mostly being plastered by the second Metro Astro Pictures logo.
Notable films with this include two of the Endless films, The Present Day, Shrub Garden 2: The Heatwave, Nail Polish, Space 4, and Winston the Armadillo (2013). This logo is also seen on regional prints of 20th Century Fox films, plastering the 1994 (The Pagemaster) and 2009 (all other appearances) 20th Century Fox logos.

Did You Know?: This logo was redone by Jakarta Technologies, who also did the four previous logos (the 2020, 2009, and 1985 ones). They used the structure and added more realistic effects to blend in with 20th Century Studios.

Variations:
On the trailers for Doubleday II, the logo is in a different color and uses a different sky background.
The video games based on MAP films either have one of the following: a still print version, a portion of the animated logo, or the fully animated version as transcribed above. All of these are used interchangeably.
The sunflash may be included in some cases.
On Magnet, the Metro Entertainment Group byline is added below. May be only seen on early prints, as later prints and subsequent movies restore the normal version. However, the byline will remain with the animation division for stylistic purposes.
For the trailer of Endless 9, the logo is in reverse.
On the Special 95th Anniversary Edition of The King of Weston (1927), the logo is zoomed out further than usual a la the IMAX variant, but at the start, it slowly zooms into its usual aspect ratio.
There is a Studio Tour variant. Like the previous two logos, "STUDIOS" replaces "PICTURES".
A scrapped variant where it has the 2009 sky in place of the regular one was spotted, but it was considered to be lost, and was never to be seen again.

Closing Screen:
Either the tail end of the logo, a still print version fading in and out, or the full animation as transcribed above. All three of these are used interchangeably, unlike previous logos.

Technique:
Same as before, but enhanced.

The 1998 Fox fanfare arrangement, as always.

A handful of audio variants are known or are expected to be used.
Sometimes the opening theme of the movie is used, or the logo is silent.
On British, Australian, South Korean, and Canadian prints of movies (physical media and TV airings; sometimes plastering this logo with the 20th Century Studios logo), the fanfare is higher pitched. The 4K Ultra HD release of Spin Jam in North America also uses this version.
On international releases of the 4K Ultra HD release of Spin Jam, the 1998 theme, again, is double pitched. This is used as a homage to the original international release of the movie.
On the 2022 Restoration of Wingate Dreams (Legacy), the 1994 FIP fanfare is used as a homage to the original film. This fanfare and the 2002 fanfare from the second logo also appear on a lot of current prints of movies, due to even heavier plastering.

Presence:
Current, and getting very common as the days go by.
It debuted on the trailers for Doubleday II, and then made its theatrical debut on the aforementioned film on March 9th, 2020 (although it debuted earlier on February 14th, 2020, 2022, premiering earlier at the Rayon Cinema).
This logo is also scheduled to appear on future films such as Endless 9, the regional release of Avatar 2, and George Orwell's 1984, with the last film being the theatrical release of the Special 95th Anniversary Edition of The King of Weston (1927), the latter is set for release on December 18th, 2022.

Did You Know?:
This logo was done by Jakarta Technologies, who also did the previous logos (2020, 2009, and 1981).

Byline:
May 9th, 2023-: "A Metro Entertainment Group Company" byline is re-used, starting with Cactus 2 (as a variant).

Variations:
A leaked prototype version was seen on the Jakarta Technologies website. The colors are different in this variant. However, despite JT's efforts to prevent the logo from being leaked before its reveal on the Twitter post, they placed a watermark on the center of the screen saying "CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL - DO NOT LEAK; Property of Metro Astro Studios GP". A version without the watermark was leaked.
A beta version has the logo look more like the final version, but with some slight differences, such as the sky.
A short version exists. Here, the camera panning is different, and the searchlights turn on, syncing with the fanfare (which is arranged differently), which will be only used in some action, family-animation, horror, western, and comedy films. This debuted on Cactus 2, albeit using a variation.
On some commercials, the logo shares the screen with other logos.

Closing Screen:
A new closing variant was introduced, featuring, once again, a shortened version of the opening logo, this time it loops in reverse like the 1981 logo. The text "Distributed by" is seen above the tower and the web address "www.metroastropictures.com" is shown below the byline.
The tail end of the logo, which was used on Deputy: The Film, newer prints of the first two Gander films, and current printings of Spin Jam.
Sometimes, no logo will appear at all.
On the re-release of The Dolphin: Story of a Dreamer, Cactus 2, and any films with overseas distribution handled by Disney starting with Run, the entire animation is used as a closing logo, either including the logo fanfare, the closing theme of the film, or none at all (the former two are only used through films with overseas distribution handled by Disney, while the latter was only seen on Cactus 2).
A still print version exists. So far, seen on current regional releases of all Blue Sky Studios movies.

Technique:
Likely the same as the previous logo. The variant from Twitter post has no animation, due to it being an image.

Sounds:
The Simba Lion Prince rendition of the famous fanfare.

Sound Variations:
On Shrimp Catcher (the first animated film since the regional release of Spies in Disguise to use a regular FBP logo), the Disney Metro Media Entertainment fanfare is used instead.
The variant from the Twitter post is silent, because it is a still image.
The beta version has the opening theme to the trailer.
On the Studio Tour variant and current printings of Spin Jam, the 1998 fanfare is strangely used. For the latter, this time the fanfare is in its normal pitch, dropping the high tone version that has been used for twenty-two years.
On the 2023 re-release of Titanic, the 1998 fanfare is heard, just like with the 2012 3D and 2017 Dolby Vision re-releases with the final FIP logo.

Presence:
The prototype version (without the watermark) was leaked a day after the Twitter post. The prototype version (with the watermark) is hard to find, as the original video got taken down.
The beta version made its debut on a trailer for Endless 9.
It is scheduled to officially debut theatrically on May 9, 2023, starting with Climax. It will also appear on Cuyabra 2, Wolf Hunters, Gander 3 (international releases, distributed by Loud Pictures in North America), Trucks 3, the hybrid remake of Spin Jam, and more.
The official byline version debuted on Cactus 2 (as a variant), and is expected to replace the placeholder byline variant on May 9th, 2023. The last films to use the placeholder byline were Shrimp Catcher and Deputy: The Film.
This also appears at the end of the animated short film Run 2023: Operation Appalachia, after the shortened 2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo.
This logo also appears in an Cowellan release of the Drive+ original film The Chiagozie Elobuike Movie, and Regnifier, which is the first time Metro Astro made an agreement with Drive+.
