1st Logo (1980s-1990s)

• 
  Four corners

  The finished product

Visuals: On a red background, four famous video logos are shown from left to right from down left to down right. The logo consists of two print horses on both sides facing each other with a cyan gridded globe atop a shield in the center. Inside the shield is an F and V, both in red and in the same font shown in the Viva Films logo. Below the shield is a banner with the company name in red inside it. The four images forms into one and remain before splitting and disappearing.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: Pakistani bongo music. Otherwise, none.

Availability: Seen on Pakistani film VHS releases of the era.

2nd Logo (1990s-2000s)

• 
  Original
• 
  Stretched

Visuals: There is the same logo as before. It remains idle for a second, then it zooms out, spinning clockwise and leaving a trail of its copies behind.

Variant: Some prints have the logo zooming in and spinning counter-clockwise, leaving the same aforementioned train as it does so before doing the same sequence as shown in the main logo.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: Same as before.

Availability: Seen on some VHS tapes from 1990s, such as Khush Naseeb, Hello Uncle Hai Aunti, Salaam Bombay, Duty and Aag Aur Suhaag.
