Visuals: In a dark room, a model of Aruna driving the chariot of Surya is shown on top of the logo, consisting of "DVS" in a horizontally distorted effect on top of "PRODUCTIONS" over a rectangular slab. The camera then slowly zooms into the said model before stopping.

Variant: On Tikka Sankarayya, the camera is still and seen very close to the model.

2nd Logo (August 24, 1975-May 14, 1981)

Visuals: A spotlight illuminates the shadow of the same type of artwork from before before lighting it up. The model, alongside a different reconstruction of the logo from before behind a gray rectangular block, is standing on top of a glitter-laden surface. The camera zooms into the model before stopping.
