Background

This is Ellen DeGeneres' production company, founded in 2003. In October 2010, the company signed a multi-year deal with Warner Bros. Entertainment.

(September 8, 2003-)

Logo: On a white background, we see Ellen DeGeneres' legs wearing black pants and navy blue canvas sneakers on the left standing on a greenish floor. They cross, and

unfolds word by word at the right.

Variants:

  • Starting in 2008, during The Ellen DeGeneres Show's switch to HD broadcasting, the logo is zoomed out more against a border of blue panels with watery animations. The top and bottom sides are a lighter shade of said color.
  • In 2010, the logo was given a makeover. This variant shows Ellen crossing her legs (wearing black-striped white socks and saddle shoes) on a white background. The screen then flashes, and the picture changes to a black 2D version of Ellen's pose, with the name in an all caps stencil-like font. 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.
  • A still version is known to exist.

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

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

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • On rare occasions, her voice (as well as a flash sound) is not used.
  • Starting with the 2010 variant, a flash sound is heard after Ellen's dialogue.
  • NBC and ABC airings use their generic themes.

Availability: Seen on all episodes of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The 2010 variant appears on later episodes of said show, 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 uses the Ellen Digital Ventures logo instead.

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