1st Logo (2011-2013)

Nickname: "The Rectangle"

Logo: On a black background, a gradient blue rectangle fades in. In it is the text "ReLIΛNCe". The A has a red triangle in it. The rectangle slowly zooms in and shines. "Entertainment" fades in below the rectangle.

Variant:

• A still variant has been spotted on some films, as well as Electric City.
• There is a variant where the box isn't zooming in.
• There is also a variant where the box is smaller.

FX/SFX: The shining.

Music/Sounds: Either an Indian-style theme (which is Reliance's signature jingle) with synths, drumbeats and a male chorus singing wordlessly, a creepy rising synth with scraping sounds, none, or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Uncommon. Likely found on films produced by this company.

Editor's Note: This is a very simple logo, albeit one with memorable music, but their next logo is better than this...

2nd Logo (December 20, 2013- )

Nickname: "The Bridge"

Logo: At dawn, we pan out from an ocean and zoom by a cable-stayed bridge. The sun appears, revealing a red tower shaped like the shape under the A in the 1st logo. As we zoom slowly onto the roadway, we see 2 more towers like the first one. We get on the highway and zoom out to see some cables. A sunburst occurs and a silver abstract A is seen as "RELI NCE" flips in beside the A. The sunburst dies down and "ENTERTAINMENT" appears below the company name.

Variants:

• A still version was seen on some films.
• On The House with a Clock in its Walls, it has a slight tint of yellow. It cuts out early after it forms as usual.
• On 1917, it is blue-tinted.

FX/SFX: Great CGI, done by Filmograph.

Music/Sounds: A majestic reorchestrated version of the previous logo's Indian-style theme, with repeating synth piano notes at the end.

Music/Sounds Variant: On The House with a Clock in its Walls variant, tick-tocking sounds are heard over it (referencing the film's title). The bell starts tolling to sync with the logo cutting to black and the following opening credits.

Availability: Current and fairly common. Was first seen on Walking with Dinosaurs 3D. It has been seen on American films co-produced by this company like Bridge of Spies, The BFG, The Light Between Oceans, and Office Christmas Party.

Editor's Note: It's a beautiful logo, possibly one of the best from India.

3rd Logo (2017?)

Nickname: "The Explosion Flare"; "RELIANCE In Space"

Logo: On a blue space background, we see a lot of explosion-like fire come in and form together. The flames meet in the center, causing a pulse that makes the "ReLIΛNCe" text in its traditional font fold out. It zooms out slowly as "ENTERTAINMENT" appears below the company name.

FX/SFX: Everything in the logo. All in great CGI.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic fanfare and some flare sounds at the beginning.

Availability: Very rare.

Editor's Note: A good logo with great CGI and nice music, though not as good as the previous logo.
