2nd Logo (February 20, 1974-1980s?)
Visuals: On a mountain landscape with stars on top, there is a red MGM-like ribbon circle reading "ELLMAN FILM ENTERPRISES" with a hand carrying a torch, a monument with two searchlights, a radio tower in a globe, and a yellow ring (likely the Kuiper Belt) between it. Inside it is a man wearing glasses. He roars in the circle two times, then he smiles.
