Background
Eetharam Films was founded by Telugu film director and screenwriter T. Krishna.

1st Logo (25 January 1985)
Logo: In a dark room, there is a rapidly spinning globe with a flaming torch slowly rising behind it. The company's name in Telugu slides in from the right as a bunch of yellow smoke starts to appear around the scene.

Technique: Live-action and 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A three-note brass fanfare ending with a loud, lengthy three-note brass sting.

Availability: Only known to appear on Desamlo Dongalupaddaru.

2nd Logo (5 April 1991)
Logo: A burning flame is seen far away on a space background comprising stars and auroras. The flame zooms in, which appears to be burning on a silhouette of a nude man leaning and holding a torch the flame is currently burning on. Once the statue gets close to the screen, a light illuminates the statue, as well as a spinning globe underneath the statue. The light also reveals a blue pedestal containing the company's name in yellow, and during this, the face of T. Krishna wipes in within the globe. It continues for the last 12 seconds until it cuts to the opening credits.

Technique: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: First, an ominous, rising vibraphone tune when the flame zooms in, secondly, a lyre arpeggio when the light illuminates the statue, and a male voice when the pedestal is revealed.

Availability: Appears on Yerra Mandaram.

3rd Logo (18 May 2001)
Logo: An updated version of the previous logo where the space background now consists of four elliptical galaxies and the statue facing towards the right-hand side. The statue and globe also fade individually.

Technique: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Only appeared on Ammayi Kosam.

Logo (14 February 2008-16 July 2010)
Logo: A twinkling space background with a, misty nebula is shown with a CGI, silhouetted render of the statue from the previous logo. As we zoom into the statue, a spark flies in from the right side of the screen, and flies towards the torch, lighting it up. Following this, a rotating globe flies from the front of the camera and places itself underneath the statue, eventually lighting up the statue which appears to be. The face of T. Krishna fades in within the globe which causes the globe to invert colors and the torch to burn even more. The company name in Telugu and a golden, glowy format fades in underneath and gradually zooms in, and as it stops, the glow fades away, leaving the text in solid.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A droning sitar with twinkling accompanying the spark, then a chorus singing a religious mantra in Telugu.

Availability: Appears on Ontari and Em Pillo Em Pillado.
