Technique: Fading effects.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen only on Gadar: Ek Prem Katha.
Zee Limelight
Logo (March 13, 2009)
Visuals: On a star background, there is a blue styled 'Z' with stars on it, fading in as it shines. Then, the text "Lime light" forms from the left and right. The "Lime' is handwritten, and has the star as a dot.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: An synth note that sounds like an orchestra warming up, with an reverse cymbal crash as the text forms.
Availability: Seen only on Gulaal.
Zee Motion Pictures
Logo (September 6, 2009-October 15, 2010)
Visuals: On a sky blue with clouds background, there is a rainbow pinwheel. After a few seconds, the pinwheel spins, which gets quicker as it spins. A circle flame is shown on the pinwheel. After a few seconds, fireworks come out on the pinwheel as the pinwheel fades out. The same 'Z' from the previous logo, now in red and with small dots, fades in. As the flame disappears, the text "MOTION PICTURES" flips and flashes. Then, the byline "FROM ZEE ENTERTAINMENT STUDIOS" wipes in under the logo as the fireworks go out.
Technique: Live-action combined with CGI and 2D animation.
Variant: A shortened version exists on Aakrosh.
Audio: A calm musical piece, which then segues into a dramatic orchestral fanfare, with firework sounds.
Availability: Seen on Fox and Aakrosh.
Zee Studios
1st Logo (October 9, 2015-2017)
Visuals: Over a black background, there is a projector, with the lens shining. The camera pans over more of the projector, like the tape running, gears, and parts of the projector. The camera then moves back to reveal that all of this is in the golden letter 'Z'. A tape goes through the 'Z' as the said letter closes. Under the symbol, the golden stacked text "ZEE STUDIOS" flips in one by one, as a line forms under it. The logo shines.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A dramatic fanfare, which turns into a lyra tune at the last seconds.
Availability: Can be seen on their movies until 2017, starting with Jazbaa.
2nd Logo (2017-)
Visuals: Over a white background, there is a purple circle on the center left containing the text "ZEE." After a few seconds, multicolored waves come out of the circle. The camera cuts to a close-up of the waves. After a few seconds, the camera gets closer to the waves, as the waves fade into a golden circle with small holes having light rays going down on them. Then, the camera cuts to a zooming-out shot of a lightbulb, which quickly reveals a lot of lightbulbs that resemble the logo at the beginning. All the lightbulbs turn on at once as the camera zooms out. The camera then cuts to a dark golden background with the symbol from the beginning and the text "STUDIOS" on its right with the "D" shining. The logo zooms in for a while.
Variant: On occasions, the camera pans through the lightbulbs before zooming out, and at the end, the background has multiple yellow spotlights instead.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A calming humming tune or the companies 8-note mnemonic violin tune, depending on the movie, that segues into a soft cymbal crash when the waves come out, with an orchestral tune playing as the logo goes on. A short flute tune is heard at the end.
Availability: Can be seen on their movies starting in 2017, like Love Sonia.
