1st Logo (1975-1978, 1982-1997)

Nicknames: "Red Triangle of Doom", "Prayer in Space"

Logo: On a space background, we see a blue hand pointing at a spinning yellow ring fading in, which also causes a red triangle to wipe and fade in. The camera then rotates 86 degrees, revealing the end of a silver trident. Yet again, the camera rotates which reveals, what appears to be, a pink foot with a red star on top. Lastly the camera zooms out, revealing a symbol with all of the said objects from the triangle, which causes the words "TRIMURTI" and "FILMS" in yellow to appear between the trident along with the Hindi translation in red appearing below the symbol.

FX/SFX: The starfield, the camera rotating, and the text appearing.

Music/Sounds: The sound of a horn, which is then followed by a man singing accompanied by a tampura with notes from a glockenspiel.
