1st logo (December 16, 1966?-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 would appear from different backgrounds:

We see a clouds with the Punjabi (Shahmukhi script) words “Qazi Pictures” fades in. Both Seen on Mukhra Chan Warga and Maali.
On a black background, we see the Punjabi (Shahmukhi script) words “Qazi Films” Slides left. Seen on Commander.
On a possibly red background, we see the Punjabi (Shahmukhi script) words “Qazi Films” slides left again. Seen on Loha.
We see a couple of trees and grounds on a sky, the Punjabi (Shahmukhi script) words “Qazi Films” zooms in. Seen on Golden Girl.

Variants: 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.
