Background

Logo (December 16, 1966?-November 10, 1995)

Visuals: The logo starts with a view of dark clouds, which suddenly rips open with a shot of a mosque shown. The logo stands still aside from shaking, until the last second when the ripping animation reverses.

Trivia: The mosque in the logo is the Masjid-al-Haram, Islam's most holiest site in Saudi Arabia, which features the Kaaba, which features some historical artifacts mentioned in the Quran.

Variants: The logo would usually be tinted in different colors. It was originally in black and white.

Technique: Likely 2D stop-motion animation.

Audio: Loud thunder noises accompanied by a man singing an Islamic hymn.

Availability: Seen on some Pakistani films during the era, such as Mukhra Chan Warga (1969), Maali, Maa Tay Qanoon, Jabroo, Do Nishan, Commander, Loha, and Golden Girl. It may also have appeared on Abba Ji, which was the company's first film.
