Leo (constellation) Leo (constellation) Leo is one of the constellations of the zodiac, lying between Cancer the crab to the west and Virgo the maiden to the east. Its name is Latin for lion, and to the ancient Greeks represented the Nemean Lion killed by the mythical Greek hero Heracles meaning 'Glory of Hera' (known to the ancient Romans as Hercules) as one of his twelve labors. Its symbol is (Unicode ♌). One of the 48 constellations described by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, Leo remains one of the 88 modern constellations today, and one of the most easily recognizable due to its
Leo the Lion (MGM) and 1932. The second lion, Coffee, appeared on color films between 1932 and 1934 (and 1935 for the "Happy Harmonies" shorts), until production was switched to full three-strip Technicolor filming. "The Cat and the Fiddle" (1934) had brief color sequences, but was otherwise in black-and-white (including its opening credits), so it used Jackie instead of Coffee. ("The Cat and the Fiddle" however, showed its The End title card against a Technicolor background.) An extended version of the logo featuring Coffee appears at the beginning of the short "Wild People" (1932), featuring the lion roaring three times, rather than just twice.
