Carolina Films

Background
Carolina Films was an Indian Malayalam/Tamil-language film company founded by film director Henry, who also heads Pangaj Productions. So far, the company has only produced 2 films.

(April 30, 1982-September 15, 1995)
Nicknames: "The Tamil/Indian Mary", "The Strangest Appearance of Mary", "The Carolingian Mary"

Logo: We start off with a stock space background, which constantly changes its color. Then we see a figure of Virgin Mary with her palms facing downwards slowly fading in. Once the fading is complete, 2 yellow beams appear from her palms and travels towards the bottom of the screen, and eases inwards and outwards. It then dissipates, causing the company's name "CAROLINA FILMS PVT. LTD." in yellow to fade in below the statue.

Trivia: The Virgin Mary, which also known by various titles, styles and honorifics, was a 1st-century Galilean Jewish woman of Nazareth and the mother of Jesus, according to the New Testament and the Quran.

Variant: On Kolangal, the text is in the color white and a different font and as it appears, the entire logo freezes. The text "PVT. LTD." is also nowhere to be seen.

FX/SFX: The Virgin Mary fading in, the background, the two beams appearing/disappearing and the appearance of the text.

Music/Sounds: First, a tune that sounds much like the song from St. Pio de Pietrelcina's last moment, and then some synth bells when the beams appear, which segues into a traditional Indian ranchero-like melody. Kolangal has it lower-pitched.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen only on Yavanika and Kolangal.

Legacy: This logo has a great touch on Christianity.
