Visuals: The logo starts off with a dark room consisting of a sitar laying flat. After the room and sitar are both fully shown, multi-colored flowers appear below the sitar one-by-one, and after the 8th flower appears, it cuts to the same shot except light can be seen shining on the sitar, more flowers can be seen underneath and there is the a red wall containing the company's name in Bengali and red. Faint smoke can be seen beneath the flowers.

Finally, a light from above illuminates the same wall containing the containing the same Bengali text. The entire logo is tinted in monochrome.
