1st Logo (1940-1952)
Logo: On a rotating field, we see a girl laying down. The sun then rises, and once it has fully risen, the caption "LEAD KINDLY LIGHT PRAKASH" forms under the girl and the girl rises with what appears to be a candle in one hand and throws petals with the other hand.
Technique: The field rotating, the light, the girl, and the caption. Pretty good special effects for the time.
Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the film.
Availability: Seen on films like Bhakta Dhruva, Narsi Bhagat, Bharat Milap (1942), Ram Rajya (1943), and Baiju Bawra.
2nd Logo (May 29, 1959-1962)
Logo: On a rotating globe, a girl does the same motions from the previous logo, while the caption "LEAD KINDLY LIGHT PRAKASH" fades in below her. After the text fades in, she throws the petals once again.
Variant: On later versions, the caption that fades in below the girl is "LEAD KINDLY LIGHT SHRI PRAKASH PICTURES".
Technique: The earth rotating, the girl and the texts. Once again, good special effects for the time.
Music/Sounds: A soothing theme with trumpets that begins on the Central Board of Film Censors bumper.
Availability: Only seen on Goonj Uthi Shehnai, Pyase Panchhi, and Hariyali Aur Rasta.

Logo:
- Opening variant: On a red background with dark clouds, we see a girl over the earth globe, doing the same motion from previous logos. She throws the petals once again.

- Opening variant: A soothing theme with trumpets and other instruments.
