1st Logo (2011-2013)

Nickname: "The Rectangle"

Logo: On a black background, a gradient blue rectangle fades in. In it is the text "ReLIΛNCe". The "Λ" has a red triangle in it. The rectangle slowly zooms in and shines. "Entertainment" fades in below the rectangle.

Variants:

A still variant has been spotted on some films, as well as Electric City.
There is a variant where the box isn't zooming in, just only "Entertainment" is slowly zooming out.
There is also a variant where the box is smaller with the byline reads "A Reliance Entertainment Release".

FX/SFX: The shining.

Music/Sounds: Either an Indian-style theme (which is Reliance's signature jingle) with synths, drumbeats and a male chorus singing wordlessly, a creepy rising synth with scraping sounds, none, or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Uncommon. Likely found on films produced by this company.

Editor's Note: This is a very simple logo, albeit one with memorable music, but their next logo is better than this...

2nd Logo (December 20, 2013- )

Nickname: "The Bridge"

Logo: At dawn, we pan out from an ocean and zoom by a cable-stayed bridge. The sun appears, revealing a red tower shaped like the shape under the "Λ" in the 1st logo. As we zoom slowly onto the roadway, we see 2 more towers like the first one. We get on the highway and zoom out to see some cables. A sunburst occurs and a silver abstract "Λ" is seen as "RELI NCE" flips in beside the "Λ". The sunburst dies down and "ENTERTAINMENT" appears below the company name.

Variants:

A still version was seen on some films.
On The House with a Clock in its Walls, it has a slight tint of yellow. It cuts out early after it forms as usual.
On 1917, it is blue-tinted.

FX/SFX: Great CGI, done by Filmograph.

Music/Sounds: A majestic reorchestrated version of the Reliance jingle from the previous logo, with repeating synth piano notes at the end.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the The House with a Clock in its Walls variant, tick-tocking sounds are heard over it (referencing the film's title). The bell starts tolling to sync with the logo cutting to black and the following opening credits.

Availability: Current and fairly common. Was first seen on Walking with Dinosaurs 3D. It has been seen on American films co-produced by this company like Bridge of Spies, The BFG, The Light Between Oceans, and Office Christmas Party.

Editor's Note: It's a beautiful logo, possibly one of the best from India.

3rd Logo (2017?)

Nicknames: "The Explosion Flare", "Reliance in Space"

Logo: On a blue space background, we see a lot of explosion-like fire come in and form together. The flames meet in the center, causing a pulse that makes the "ReLIΛNCe" text in its traditional font fold out, the "Λ" getting formed by what remains of the flare. It zooms out slowly as "ENTERTAINMENT" appears below the company name.

FX/SFX: Everything in the logo. All in great CGI.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic fanfare and some flare sounds at the beginning.

Availability: Very rare.

Editor's Note: A good logo with great CGI and nice music, though not as good as the previous logo.
