FX/SFX: The running torch man (which is obviously live-action), the 2D words being formed.

Music/Sounds:

A celesta theme was used on Kisan Aur Bhagwan and Bhagat Dhana Jatt.
A different version of the celesta theme was used on Sawa Lakh Se Ek Ladaun and Dhyanu Bhagat.
A dramatic synth fanfare was used on Rustom.

Availability: Extremely rare. Not counting the films mentioned on the Music/Sounds section, this logo was also seen in Bhakti Mein Shakti and Mera Desh Mera Dharam.

Editor's Note: The whole dark nature of the logo along with the celesta jingles is pretty unnerving. The synth fanfare used on Rustom is a bit tamer, but still surprising if you were used with the familiar music of this logo.
