1st Logo (1 October 1971-12 August 1994)

B&W variant
Aurat Raj
Khoobsurat Shaitan

Visuals: The screen zooms out from a flaming figure on top of a giant "R", which appears to be sitting on top of a pedestal, with an image of a filmstrip circling below. The camera then quickly moves into the filmstrip which reads "RANGEELA PRODUCTIONS".

Variants:

On Khoobsurat Shaitan and Gulli, only the first part is shown.
Most of the time, the logo is shown in black and white.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: A drumroll with a bombastic male announcer. A three-note triumphant brass fanfare follows.

Availability: Seen on the company's films including Meri Mohabbat Teray Hawalay, Dil Aur Dunya and Aurat Raj. The cut-off variants can seen on Khoobsurat Shaitan and Gulli.

2nd Logo (8 November 1972-28 October 1973)

Visuals:

Do Rangeelay: A still frame of an explosion is shown, tinted in a bright saturated yellow color. The text "RANGEELA PRODUCTIONS" fades in at the center, as well as the cursive text "Present" below it. The text fades out, finalizing the logo.

Kubra Ashiq: Similar to the Do Rangeelay variation, except the text is black and the background is tinted in a dark desaturated red color. Also, the background is a part of the opening scene of the film, and freezes within half a second.

Technique: Cel animation and live action.

Audio: The sound of the explosion.

Availability: The logo is available for Do Rangeelay and Kubra Ashiq.

Legacy: This logo is often misunderstood since many people still consider the war footage following it on Kubra Ashiq being part of the logo, leading to a big notoriety of being one of the scariest Pakistani logos just because of that part. However, it is only part of the opening scene of said film, and the film actually involves characters from a military background in its plot. This has also been the case for similar supposed logos which also had opening scenes consisting of war footage intertwined with them. The logo, with the same explosion footage was also used again on this logo's second appearance on Do Rangeelay, leading to many people believing it is a supposed "shortened" version of it.
