1st Logo (March 2, 1990-October 30, 1992?)

Visuals: On a blue background, there is a lion (resembling MGM's Leo) in a green circle with stars in an arch. On top of the circle, there is an emblem with the letter "S" placed at the emblem. At the bottom, there's a stacked text saying "SHERA FILM'S CORPORATION".

Variant: For Rambo, the logo is shown zooming out, cutting out to the opening scene before it ends zooming.

Technique: A still, hand-painted image. The variant has camera-controlled animation.

Audio: A dramatic fanfare.

Availability: The logo can only be seen in two films, Palay Khan and Rambo (not to be confused with the film series of the same name). It could have been also seen on Hero.

2nd Logo (1994)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a tiger fading in and sliding to the left. Afterwards, the letter "S" slides to the right and rotates itself. Once completed, the word "hera" appears letter-by-letter. The word "Films" spins, and the text slides upwards as the word "Presents" quickly slides to the right at the bottom.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A loud roar of an animal, and some other sounds which are heavily distorted.

Availability: The logo was seen in Halaku.

3rd Logo (September 9, 1994-April 12, 1996)

Visuals: The logo starts with footage of a tiger jumping over a water field in a rural area. Then the logo shows another cut of the same animal doing so, but not on the water reflection. The footage freezes, and the words "SHERA FILMS" and "PRESENTS" slides from the right. The logo is finalized with the text sliding out.

Technique: Live action and camera-controlled animation.

Audio: A loud roar from the animal (similar to the one used on the 2nd Noumi Pictures logo), then followed by an ascending string theme which cuts abruptly.

Availability: The logo was shown in Beta, Munda Bigra Jaye, and Mamla Garbar Hay.

4th Logo (1997-April 8, 1998)

Visuals: On a black background, there is an image of a lion zooming in until the screen is covered completely by the face of the animal. The lion opens his mouth as a loud roar plays. The set of text "SHERA FILMS" and "PRESENTS" shoots out from the lion's mouth. Afterwards, the lion's eyes go from brown to reddish orange to white.

Variants:

The logo is cut short beginning at the end of the roar and the text appearing on some film prints.
On modern reissues (reserved only on early VCDs) of Baharo Phool Barsao, the logo is darker and yellow-red tinted.

Technique: Camera-controlled animation.

Audio: A trumpet fanfare, followed by the lion roaring (at a loud volume) from the previous logo, ending with an arpeggiating synth theme.

Availability:

The full version of the logo was seen in a modern reissue (omitted on later VCDs) of Baharo Phool Barsao (1972).
The cut version of the logo has been spotted in Nakhra Gori Da (1998).

5th Logo (January 14, 2011)

Visuals: The sequence starts with footage of a close-up of a lion roaring in a weed background. After three seconds, the footage freezes, and the lion's head zooms out with the background changing to black. The red Urdu text "SHERA FILMS PRESENTS" appears as the text spins around and forms itself.

Technique: Live action and CGI.

Audio: A loud roar from the lion followed by a deep, drum-like synth fanfare with drums at the end.

Availability: Only seen in Aakhiri Golai.

6th Logo (February 10, 2012)

Visuals: On a maroon background, there is a still image of a roaring lion in a large yellow circle. Around the circle are smaller circles, each with looping footage of a lion. The green text "Shera Film's" can be seen zooming out along with the text "PRESENTS" below said text.

Technique: Live action.

Audio: An echoed roar at the beginning, followed by a six-note orchestral fanfare.

Availability: Only seen in Gunah Ka Anjaam, the 2012 reissue of the 2008 film Anjaam.

7th Logo (October 27, 2012)

Visuals: Starting off the logo is a light flash that dims down to show three spotlights in the shape of a triangle. As such, two "hook"-like shapes, one red and the other grey, zoom out. The text "SHERA FILMS", facing upward, zooms out and turns to face the camera, followed by the smaller text "Presents", also facing upward, doing the same movement. The "hook" shapes turn to reveal an "S" shape, resulting in the logo fading out.

Variants: There exists both digital and filmed versions of the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The opening theme of the film.

Availability:

The original version was seen only in the 2012 version of Sher Dil.
The digital version was found in the trailer for said movie.

-Editor's Note: This logo at least had more originality compared to the previous logo, but the audio is loud and distorted. This could definitely freak out viewers who weren't expecting the terrible audio quality.

+'''Technique:''' Computer animation.
-Logo: We see footage of a tiger jumping over a water field in a rural area. Then we go to another cut of the same animal doing so, but this time not on the water reflection.

-Editor's Note: The very quick footage of the logo makes it difficult to discern what kind of animal species is shown.

+'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there is an image of a lion zooming in until the screen is covered completely by the face of the animal. The lion opens his mouth as a loud roar plays. The set of text "{{color|maroon|SHERA FILMS}}" and "{{color|maroon|PRESENTS}}" shoots out from the lion's mouth. Afterwards, the lion's eyes go from {{color|brown}} to {{color|#ff3a00|reddish orange}} to white.
+'''Variants:'''
-Variant: An extended version of the logo exists where on a black background, we see a the same image of the lion (but the month is not wide opened). The image zooms in until it gets to the face. Then, the month opens up more. After that, the rest of the logo plays normally.
+*The logo is cut short beginning at the end of the roar and the text appearing on some film prints.
+*On modern reissues (reserved only on early VCDs) of ''Baharo Phool Barsao'', the logo is darker and yellow-red tinted.
+'''Technique:''' Camera-controlled animation.
-FX/SFX: The text zooming out, the lion's eyes glowing; all 2D. The extended version has the image zooming in and the animation on the lion's month opening more.
+'''Audio:''' A trumpet fanfare, followed by the lion roaring (at a loud volume) from the previous logo, ending with an arpeggiating synth theme.
-Music/Sounds: The normal version has an abrupt roar (possibly from the lion) followed by a synth tune. The extended version has a trumpet fanfare, followed by an extended version of the same roar when the lion's month opens more, and then the same synth tune from the normal variant.
+'''Availability:'''
-Availability: Seen on Nakhra Gori Da. The extended version is seen on the 1997 reissue of the 1972 film Baharo Phool Barsao.
+* The full version of the logo was seen in a modern reissue (omitted on later VCDs) of ''Baharo Phool Barsao'' (1972).
+* The cut version of the logo has been spotted in ''Nakhra Gori Da'' (1998).
+===5th Logo (January 14, 2011)===
-Editor's Note: The close-up of the lion along with the roar can be jarring to viewers, and even would cause a jumpscare to some. The extended version is even worse, thanks to the [[Viacom (pre-2006)|V of Doom]]-styled zoom-in and the extended roar.

+'''Availability:'''
-Editor's Note: This logo is very outdated for its time, with the use of the worn film quality (concerning 35mm prints have still been widely used in Pakistan), 70s-like effects and the music, which sounds like a film logo from the '50s. Like the first logo, it is also ripping-off the MGM logo, but at least they didn't steal a print logo with an MGM lion.
+* The original version was seen only in the 2012 version of ''Sher Dil''.
+* The digital version was found in the trailer for said movie.
