The trail of light then flies to the right of the screen. The camera pans to follow it revealing the Viacom 18 logo with the Viacom logo being centered. The trail of light draws a red line under the Viacom logo as the letters in "M O T I O N P I C T U R E S" zoom in under the Viacom 18 logo, one by one. The black floor, now more below the logo, is traced by 2 light trails as the word "PRESENTS" zooms in below. As the word zooms in, its letters space themselves out. As it zooms in, the word also changes colors from white to purple to pink and then finally to red. The camera then slowly zooms away from the finished product until the logo fades to black. |

3rd Logo (January 25, 2018-)
Visuals: The sequence starts with a theater at nighttime, where the screen zooms out to reveal the marquee, which reads "NOW SHOWING" and [name of the film] below it. Atop the marquee is a clip from the said film you are watching. Similar to the 2016 Marvel Studios logo, the screen pans up to see a clip from Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and we see two buildings, also having clips playing in it, which are Drishyam and Gangs of Wasseypur. The screen then pans through a building with a clip from O.M.G,: Oh My God! in it alongside a clip from Mary Kom, and the screen zooms through a building with a clip from Special 26 playing, and we see a building which has Kahaani and Gabbar Is Back on its sides.

The screen then pans up as the camera becomes a birds-eye vide of the city, and the lights go out to form the Viacom18 logo in yellow in a similar fashion to the 2008 Miramax logo. The words "MOTION PICTURES" appear below a red line, while the ball of flash draws the tagline "Redefining Indian Cinema" at the bottom.

- On Fighter, a special variant is used. At the end, the animation of the lights forming the logo are slightly different, forming a gold Viacom18 Studios logo, which shrinks to the right. "100", with the "0" cut and overlapping part of the Viacom18 Studios logo, slides in next to it as the Viacom18 logo reverts back to its normal colors, with "FILMS" in Avant Garde sliding down under the "100". The tagline "REDEFINING INDIAN CINEMA", now in gold, appears through a shine from the left side of the screen.
