Background
R.R. Pictures was an Indian film production company established by Indian film director and producer T. R. Ramanna. The company was named after the initials of himself and his elder sister, T. R. Rajakumari.
1st Logo (August 26, 1954-April 6, 1972)
Visuals: On a black background, there is a cloudy surface seen slowly zooming away from the camera. An undetailed model of a woman sitting on top of a slowly rotating model of the Earth while holding various pottery slowly fades in front of the cloudy surface as more of the surface is revealed. As the earth rotates, the company name "R.R. PICTURES." is shown to be carved onto the middle of the earth. The logo fades out as the text is no longer visible.
Technique: Practical effects.
Audio: A rising brass fanfare ending with a harp glissando.
Audio Variants:
- In earlier films, there was a simple brass fanfare.
- On Manchi Chedu, none.
Availability: It was mainly seen in black-and-white films produced by the company, it has so far started appearing in Koondukkili and stopped appearing after Maa Inti Kodalu. Some of its other films most likely were lost.
2nd Logo (November 11, 1966-March 30, 1972)
Visuals: Fading in, there is a silhouette of the same model similar to the previous logo but this time, it is colorized. Around the model, there are six planets slowly rotating in the background, all of which, including the model, take place on a blue background. As a spotlight slowly illuminates the model, the earth slowly reveals the company name in the same fashion in a different font with a smaller "MADRAS" sitting on the bottom. Eventually, the logo fades out altogether.
Variant: There is an early version of the logo that appeared in Parakkum Pavai. Here, there are some differences: there is rising smoke in the bottom-right corner, and the planets are in different positions and are more detailed in terms of design. The spotlights change from red, to yellow, and white as it slowly illuminates the model. The company name is in a more blocky font and "MADRAS" isn't present.
Technique: Practical effects.
Audio: Same as the previous logo.
Audio Variant: On the early variant, it starts with a swarmandal and string stinger that heads to a heroic brass fanfare when the text is revealed while some swarmandal glissandos are heard throughout.
Availability: Was seen in color films produced by the company. It made its debut in Parakkum Pavai, and in two Hindi films as a standard variant: Jawab, and Wafaa.
