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.
