Background

Qazi Films (also known as Gullisman Films) is a Pakistani in-house production company located at Lahore, Punjab Province, Pakistan. Its first film was Mukhra Chan Warga, which was released on 1969, and received a 2001 remake.

1st logo (September 12, 1969-November 10, 1995)

Logo: We start off with a view of dark clouds, but it suddenly rips to a mosque. The logo stands still aside from shaking, until the last second when the ripping animation reversed. The company name doesn't appear.

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

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.

FX/SFX: The ripping animations and the shaking.

Music/Sounds: Loud thunder noises accompanied by a man singing an Islamic hymn.

Music/Sound Variant: On Vada Thanedar, a different Islamic hymn is heard, accompanied by a calming organ.

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

Editor’s Note: None.

8th logo (April 18, 1997)

Logo: Again, we see random shots of the Badshashi Mosque, including people praying. The company name doesn't appear.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: An announcer saying something religious.

Availability: Only seen on Lahoria (1997).

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (June 28, 2002)

Logo: It's just a mosque, once again. The company name doesn't appear.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logos.

Music/Sounds: A sounding like woman singing (possibly due to sound detoration), then a man singing.

Availability: Only seen on Ik Dhi Punjab Dhi.

Editor's Note: None.
