Visuals: In a very dark room, there is a silhouetted model in the middle partially illuminated by rising blue smoke behind it. A spotlight illuminates the front of the model, appearing to be a model of the Hindu god Shiva. The camera slowly zooms towards the statue to end the logo's sequence.

Variant: In later films, the white underlined text "SHREE SHIV BHAKTI FILMS" is plastered in front of the footage.

Technique: Practical effects. The text in the later version has computer-generated effects.

Audio: A man singing the first four verses of the Shiva Panchakshara Stotram "नागेन्द्रहाराय त्रिलोचनाय भस्माङ्गरागाय महेश्वराय । नित्याय शुद्धाय दिगम्बराय तस्मै नकाराय नमः शिवाय" while some ascending vibraphone notes accompany the man.

Audio Variant: On Champion, it uses a slow four-note composition accompanied by a faint tampura.

Availability: It is seen only in Anubhav. The later version was seen in Daraar and Champion.
