unfolds word by word at the right.

Variants:

• Starting in 2008, during The Ellen DeGeneres Show's switch to HD broadcasting and moved to being taped at Stage 1 on the nearby Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, the logo is zoomed out more against a border of blue panels with watery animations, which was based on the show's graphics from the sixth season. The top and bottom sides are a lighter shade of said color.
• On the November 25, 2010 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the logo is presented in true 16:9 widescreen.

Technique: A mix of live-action and 2D computer animation.

Audio: Ellen DeGeneres saying "Anyway...". The Ellen DeGeneres Show has said show's end theme accompanied with the voice-over.

Availability: Seen on episodes of The Ellen DeGeneres Show from seasons 1 to 7. It makes an appearance on the November 25, 2010 episode of the show, as part of season 8.

Legacy: This is a well-known logo among fans of Ellen DeGeneres' works, though the controversies involving her and her former talk show have tainted the logo for some.

2nd Logo (September 13, 2010-)

• 
•

Visuals: Ellen crossing her legs (wearing black-striped white socks and saddle shoes) like before on a white background. The screen then flashes, and the picture changes to a black 2D version of Ellen's pose, with the name from before in an all caps stencil-like font.

Variants:

• A still version is known to exist.
• In 2021, this variant was re-shot on a completely white background (the 2010 version has some blue lights behind Ellen's leg-crossing).
• On The Masked Dancer, the logo appears next to the Warner Horizon Unscripted Television logo.
• Depending on the show, the 2010-2021 variant may run in 60fps (talk shows) or 30fps (game shows and scripted series).
• On some shows, the 2021 variant flashes to the final shot as soon as Ellen crosses her legs.

Technique: A mix of live-action and 2D computer animation.

Audio: Ellen's dialogue from the previous logo, followed by a flash sound.

Audio Variants:

• Sometimes, the flash and/or her voice sound is not heard or the ending theme of the show plays over.
• NBC and ABC airings use their generic themes.

Availability: It appears on later episodes of The Ellen DeGeneres Show beginning with season 8, as well as other shows such as One Big Happy, The Masked Dancer, Ellen's Game of Games, Netflix's adaptation of Dr Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham, and Family Game Fight!. Also seen on the Netflix film Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure. This isn't seen on Little Ellen, as it used the Ellen Digital Ventures logo instead.
