1st Logo (July 31, 2009-)
Visuals: The screen pans through various black shapes and zoom out to reveal that the shapes are the text "MADDOCK". As teh camera is in a comfortable distance, the "A" gets squished by the "M" and "DDOCK", turning it into a crudely-drawn star. Underneath, "FILMS" in spaced-out letters fades in letter-by-letter. The logo ends on an iris zoom-out transition which zooms into the star.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A stock heroic fanfare (this is the same stock music heard in the 2005 Wiseau-Films logo), which is cut off by a loud bang that is heard once the "A" gets squished, and a creaking sound as the star appears. A piano is then played once each letter of "FILMS" fades in. Audio Variant: On Badlapur, the remaining last note of the Eros International fanfare is heard on the very start of the logo.

Availability: First debuted on Love Aaj Kal and seen on all of their productions since then.

2nd Logo (March 15, 2024-)
Visuals: On a copper-bordered verdigris-colored floral background, the grayish-brown text "Serif" is first seen. "Serif" and "Serif" then move to the left and the right, respectively, and squishes the "Serif", making the camera shake, and move back to their usual positions, revealing the letter "A", now written in blood, as "Serif" flips in below one-by-one in spaced-out letters. The camera then zooms in slightly two times.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: It starts with a high-pitched female choir, which later fades out. The sound of blood is then heard, followed by an eight-note flute sounder, along with the sounds of dust, followed by an eight-note flute sounder, and a ringing sound at the end.

Availability: So far, only seen on Murder Mubarak.
