2nd Logo (1975-1982)

Nicknames: "ABC Saturday Night at the Movies Rip-off", "The Filmstrip Emei Mountain", "ABC-Emei Cousin"

Logo: It starts with a silver ball on a spotlight backdrop with floors on the side. Then a laser shoots and breaks into pieces, after it does. Then a filmstrips cuts out then reveal on a silver background, with light borders. The filmstrips then forms a "Y" like logo, and the circle then turns a "e" like dot. The Chinese text which means "Emei Film Studio" with "e" on the tip rotates in and then stops. It then turns to white background, and then completes a print logo with "Emei Film Studio" on the right.
