1st Logo (1993-2007)
Nicknames: "Eros Space", "25th Eros"

Logo: On a space background, comets are seen shooting. It then reveals the barred shape with the word "EROS" is on the top of the barred object on a space background. As it turns around and rotates, the ring with the word "INTERNATIONAL" rotates and slides down to form "EROS INTERNATIONAL", holding the ring in place.

Variants:
 * A 25th anniversary variant also exists.
 * Sometimes "Presents" appears below.

FX/SFX: The streaks and "EROS" morphing and rotating, the name "INTERNATIONAL" sliding down.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic synth tune. The early version had the music more powerful.

Availability: Rare. Spotted on distributed copies of Eros International films in Indian VHS and DVD copies and online.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2007)
Logo: We zoom out from an overhead view of a city (possibly Mumbai) to the clouds until the planet Earth is revealed. Suddenly, it becomes an oval shape as "EROS" in gold zooms out with a red ribbon with "INTERNATIONAL".

FX/SFX: The streaks and "EROS" morphing and rotating, the name "INTERNATIONAL" sliding down.

Music/Sounds: A tune sang by a choir.

Availability: Rare.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (2007-2011)
TBA.

4th Logo (2011- )
Notes:
 * For the first video, the logo starts at 1:07.
 * For the second logo, the logo starts at 1:15.

Logo: We see Devanagari text on a blue/silver horizontal bar with the reflections of clouds, which we zoom out of a little bit. It starts to rotate, as the text glows blue and more vertical bars can be seen in the background. We zoom out more as the shapes of other bars appear and the text becomes less visible, until a metal rendition of South America proves we are looking at a model of the earth. We start to zoom out fully as we see the large metal text "EROS" on the globe, with a blue banner stating "INTERNATIONAL" below it. The clouds and sky are orange as if its sunrise or sunset. When the logo finally settles into place, we see that the globe sculpture is being held by the statue of a man, not unlike Atlas of Greek mythology. To the man's below and sides are two lion statues. The byline "AN EROS VENTURES COMPANY" is engraved at the bottom of the structure.

Variants:
 * Starting in 2018, the logo is more colorful. The globe is tan, the continents are green, and the "EROS" text, "INTERNATIONAL" banner, and statues are dark blue. The sky is also much darker, some clouds to the right are removed and the byline is more readable.
 * The logo is sometimes shortened, starting when Australia and Papua New Guinea are finally revealed.

FX/SFX: The globe rotating and zooming. Nice CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The first second is silent, but upon zooming out, it's a majestic rising orchestral theme that, once the Eros text appears, becomes a triumphant trumpet fanfare with bells ringing.

Availability: Current.

Editor's Note: A very solid and nice logo all around. The color choices on the 2018 revamp are a bit tacky, though.
