1st Logo (July 1, 1981)	2nd Logo (November 26, 1985-January 6, 1989)	3rd Logo (October 12, 2001)

1st Logo (July 1, 1981)

Visuals: The logo starts on a dark room a supposed big circle. When the candle above the table is turned up, the big circle is revealed to be part of a statue; the statue is the Hindu goddess Durga holding lots of weapons (sword, bow and arrows, tridents...) in her arms, and riding a tiger. Below the statue there are yellow flowers and one red rose and other pink one, which are behind the candle. All that is mentioned before is above a table with red altar cloth. Suddenly "MANISH FILMS" zooms in after appearing with a blur effect.

Technique: Live-action combined with cel animation.

Audio: After the statue is revealed, there is a very loud and dramatic orchestra fanfare which gets more sinister towards the ending, composed by Bappi Lahiri, The same fanfare plays during the beginning of the opening credits of the film.

Availability: Only seen on Paanch Qaidi.

Legacy: When this logo was discovered, it became regarded as one of the scariest Indian logos in the community, due to the statue, the dark atmosphere, and the sudden loud fanfare when the statue is revealed.

2nd Logo (November 26, 1985-January 6, 1989)

Visuals: There is a different statue of Durga on a tiger, but now on a podium on a stage (instead on a dark room). Then the text "MANISH FILMS" fades under the goddess.

Variant: In Meri Zabaan, the lights are white and illuminate intensely, and the text appear in a blur effect, like the previous logo. The text also says "MANISH MOVIES" instead of "MANISH FILMS"

Technique: Live-action combined with cel animation.

Audio:

Maa Kasam: A relaxing flute melody, which is followed by another chord instrument.
Meri Zabaan: The stock choir heard in many Indian logos (like Sham Ralhan Productions, Solila Productions, and Baldevjiu Productions).

Availability: The Manish Movies variant is seen on Meri Zabaan and the original Manish Films variant is seen on Maa Kasam.

3rd Logo (October 12, 2001)

Visuals: On a wall of orange background and red mountains, there is a poster of Durga riding a tiger. At the left side incense sticks are seen burning, and in front of the poster there are some red and yellow apples. "MANISH FILMS" in yellow is below the poster.

Technique: Live-action with chroma-keyed camera-controlled animation.

Audio: A happy melody made by a synthesizer.

Availability: Seen only on Kasam.

-<u>FX/SFX:</u> The candle turned up and the text blurring in.
+'''Technique:''' Live-action combined with cel animation.
-<u>Music/Sounds:</u> After 4 seconds of silence, we hear a very ominous orchestra fanfare which gets more sinister towards the ending. The same fanfare plays during the beginning of the opening credits of the film.
+'''Audio:'''
-<u>Availability:</u> Rare. Only seen on ''Paanch Qaidi.''
+*''Maa Kasam'': A relaxing flute melody, which is followed by another chord instrument.
+* ''Meri Zabaan'': The stock choir heard in many Indian logos (like [[Sham Ralhan Productions]], [[Solila Productions]], and [[Baldevjiu Productions]]).
+'''Availability:''' The Manish Movies variant is seen on ''Meri Zabaan'' and the original Manish Films variant is seen on ''Maa Kasam''.
-<u>Editor's Note:</u> The dramatic fanfare accompanied by the revealment of the logo will surprise and haunt many people, given the first 4 preceding seconds of silence, and the same fanfare playing at the beginning of the Paanch Qaidi opening credits may also catch some viewers off guard. The darkness can also contribute to pale toes as well. Thankfully, the next logo is less scarier.
