Logo: On a white background, we see a head of what appears to be a smiling boy, which is contained inside of a red ring with a dotted border and yellow text inside reading "SALON FILMS", slowly zoom in from what seems to be the center of the screen, with the text slowly rotating counter-clockwise until the image stops zooming. A white dove then comes up from what appears to be the bottom-right of the screen, seeming to “move” by zooming out diagonally to the left until it "picks up" the logo on its back and continues "moving" for approximately six seconds before stopping. Red Nepali text (what it exactly says is hard to make out due to the poor condition of the filmstrip) then appears underneath the dove disappears before a second string of Nepali text appears and disappears in the same fashion.

FX/SFX: Primitive animation, possibly done by a computer.

Music/Sounds: As the company logo zooms in, a pitch-shifted version of the second ERA Home Video logo's audio plays. When the dove is carrying the logo, a short harp tune is heard before a pitch-shifted version of the audio for the third logo of Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment plays once the dove stops moving and the text appears. A descending "woosh" sound also plays by the end of the logo.

Availability: Seen on at least one film, which is Mann.

Legacy: This logo is infamous for its cheap, choppy quality and the blatant theft of the audios from both ERA Home Video and Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment's logos. Additionally, the only known uploads of this logo appear to be sourced from a heavily-damaged filmstrip.
