Vidyashree Pictures (India)

1st Logo (1986)


NOTE: This logo is NOT Nazi-related.

Logo: On footage of a ocean with the sun rising, we see a green swastika in a green box zooming out. As it stops in the middle, "VIDYASHREE FILMS PRESENTS" in green appears below.

FX/SFX: Live action and rostrum camera.

Music/Sounds: A peaceful tune.

Availability: Only seen on Sadaa Suhagan.

Editor's Note: It should be noted that even though it was adopted by the Nazis in the 1920's, the swastika originated in the late paleolithic period (the oldest known archaeological record is from 10,000 BC in Mezine, modern Ukraine), and has appearing all across the world, specially in Asia, where it has been used by Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism from the 5th century BC up to today. It usually means "good luck". This logo uses the original version of the symbol, instead of the Nazi version which was tilted at a right angle.

2nd logo (1989)


Logo: On a black background, we see a swastika spinning and changing colors quickly (red, yellow, blue, orange and white, several times, but in a different order some of the times). When the swastika turns orange, it stops spinning, but it zooms a little bit more. Then, "VIDYASHREE PICTURES" appears below the swastika, and turns on, so the light is blue, but the text is white.

FX/SFX: Rostrum camera and cel animation.

Music/Sounds: A creepy whoosh, followed by a shrill of a violin and dark synth tune. When the text appears, there's another whoosh.

Availability: Seen only on Kala Bazaar.

Editor's Note: See the last logo.
