1st Logo (December 30, 1972) | 2nd Logo (April 8, 1975-January 21, 1978) | 3rd Logo (May 3, 1991) |
1st Logo (December 30, 1972)
Visuals: On a foggy red background, there's a sculpture of a woman trying to escape from a man. Above it, there is curved text (in the form of an arch): "RAMSAY FILMS". The camera zooms out and the sculpture is fully revealed along with the rest of the background, which is a sunset.
Trivia: The statue used in the logo is "The Rape of Proserpina" by Gianlorenzo Bernini, depicting the abduction of Proserpina by the Roman god of hell Pluto.
Technique: Camera-controlled animation is used for the zooming effect. The other graphics shown are live-action with the text being a hand-drawn graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen only on Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche.
2nd Logo (April 8, 1975-January 21, 1978)
The video of this logo may be too loud or severely distorted. |
Visuals: On a sunset background, the statue from the previous logo appears from the right and moves to the left side of the screen. Right after the statue stops moving, "RAMSAY FILMS" appears with a moving blood-red color to it.
Variant: On Darwaza, the text instead says "RAMSAY BROTHERS'" and is plain gold.
Technique: Sliding effects combined with live-action (for the text effect in Andhera).
Audio: The howl of a wolf, with two bangs of a drum and a kind of roar from a panther. After this, there are more drums pounding along with another roar of a panther, with another howl of a wolf. There is the sound of a horn playing throughout.
Audio Trivia: The music in this logo is heard at the beginning of Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche.
Availability: Only seen on Andhera and Darwaza.
Legacy: It is widely considered one of the scariest Indian logos by the community due to the dark atmosphere, the statue and the loud audio. However, as this is a horror company, this was likely intentional.
3rd Logo (May 3, 1991)
Visuals: On a space background with a galaxy on the leftwards side of the screen, including a starfield which shines rapidly, there is a cyan, white-striped square, with a red Christian cross with the white crescent-and-star emblem and a white Om symbol on it, and the texts "R-M" on green-yellow, the text "RAMSAY" on its black shadow and in the bottom of it, the text "MOVIES", zooming right at us. It stops at the middle of the screen and then zooms out and goes out of the screen, leaving only the background, causing the logo to cut.
Technique: Cel animation combined with chroma-keyed animation.
Audio: Some ascending and at the same time beeping sounds and an alert long-beep repeat, all in conjoint with a loud drumroll and a very loud synth whoosh (to the point of being titanic).
Availability: Seen only on Aakhri Cheekh.
