3rd Logo (2018- )

Logo: On an aurora background with bubbles we see 5 different colored glass obtuse triangles (green, yellow, reddish pink, orange, and light blue) zoom out, spinning with each other counterclockwise like a pinwheel. We zoom closer in, then back out as the triangles stack on top of each other. They overlap as the text "shemaroo" zooms into them. Many multicolored glass bubbles zoom out around the logo, a few zooming back in to become dots as the background fades to black and the logo becomes print. The pink text "INDIA KHUSH HUA" appears below.

FX/SFX: Nice CGI.

Music/Sounds: A catchy Indian style theme, with a bubbling sound when the glass bubbles first appear.

Availability: Current.
