Side 2: Primarily images. Seal for the National Tourist and Travel Agency (NTTA) in the middle of the poster in black. Seal consists of drawings of a stele at Axum, the Church of St. George in Lalibela, Fasilides Castle, and the Lion of Judah statue in Addis Ababa. Above the black seal is the logo for NTTA in brown. Another logo is under the seal for an unidentified company and consists of a filled-in outline of Ethiopia, over which a running white horse is superimposed.
