2nd Logo (1994-19??)

3rd Logo (1994-1996)


Logo: We see footage of a tiger jumping over a water field in a rural area. Then we go to another cut of the same animal doing so, but this time not on the water reflection. Then the footage freezes as the words "SHERA FILMS" and "PRESENTS" slide in from the right. The text then slides out before the logo cuts.

FX/SFX: The live-action video, the words sliding.

Music/Sounds: A loud roar from the animal (similar to the one used on the 2nd Noumi Pictures logo), then followed by an ascending string theme which cuts abruptly.

4th Logo (1997/1998-Late 90s/Early 00s)
Logo: On a black background, we see an image of a lion zooming in until the screen is covered completely by its face. The lion then opens his mouth while a loud roar plays. "SHERA FILMS" and "PRESENTS" then shoot out from the lion's mouth. After that, the lion's eyes go from its regular color brown to reddish orange and then to white.

Variants:
 * The logo is cut short beginning at the end of the roar and the text appearing on some film prints.
 * On modern reissues (reserved only on early VCDs) of Baharo Phool Barsao, the logo is darker and yellow-red tinted.

FX/SFX: The lion zooming in and roaring, the text shooting out, and the lion's eyes glowing; all 2D.

Music/Sounds: A trumpet fanfare, followed by the lion's own roar (at a loud volume) from its pervious logo, ending with an arpeggiating synth theme.

Availability: Extremely rare. The full version of the logo was seen on a modern reissue (omitted on later VCDs) of Baharo Phool Barsao (1972). The cut version of the logo has been spotted on Nakhra Gori Da (1998).

5th Logo (January 14, 2011)
Logo: We start off with footage of a close-up of a lion roaring in a weed background. After three seconds, the footage freezes, and the lion's head zooms out with the background changing to black. And then the red Urdu text "SHERA FILMS PRESENTS" appears as it spins around.

FX/SFX: Live action for the footage, and CGI for the text.

Music/Sounds: A loud roar from the lion followed by a deep, drum-like synth fanfare with drums at the end.

Availability: Only seen on Aakhiri Golai.

6th Logo (February 10, 2012)
Logo: On a black background, we see a still image of a roaring lion in a large yellow circle. Around the circle are smaller circles, each with looping footage of a lion. We then see in green text "Times New Roman" zooming out along with "Times New Roman" below it in a red color.

FX/SFX: The text placing itself and the looped footage.

Availability: Only seen on Gunah Ka Anjaam, the 2012 reissue of the 2008 film Anjaam.

7th Logo (October 27, 2012)


Logo: We see a light flash, then it dims down to see 3 spotlights in the shape of a triangle. As such, 2 "hook"-like shapes, one red and the other grey, zoom out. The text "SHERA FILMS" in red, facing upward, zooms out and turns to face us followed by "Presents" zooming out, also facing upward, zooming out and turning. The "hook" shapes then turn to reveal an S shape shape, then the logo fades out.

Variants: There exists both digital and filmed versions of the logo.

FX/SFX: The CGI logo and text zooming out, and the light behind. Really good CGI for a Pakistani film company.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the film.

Availability: Only seen on the 2012 version of Sher Dil. The digital version was found on its trailer.
