2nd Logo (1974-1980s?)
Nicknames: "The MGM Parody", "A Parody of Many Logos"
Logo: On a mountain landscape with stars, we see a MGM-like ribbon circle reading "ELLMAN FILM ENTERPRISES" with a man wearing glasses. He roars in the circle two times, then he smiles. A hand carrying a torch, a monument with two searchlights, a radio tower in a globe, and a ring surround the circle.
FX/SFX: Live action for the man.
