Oriental Pictures

Logo (April 14, 1971)
Logo: On a cloudy background, we see a figure of St. Anthony of Padua holding infant Jesus in his shoulders standing on top of a tall pedestal. Shortly after, the company's name in Tamil fades in below the figure.

FX/SFX: The fade-in of the text.

Music/Sounds: A somber 5-note organ tune.

Availability: Appears on Thirumurugal, alongside with Govindaraja Films.

Logo (May 6, 1975)


Logo: On a sunset background, we see a silhouette of a different figure of St. Anthony facing towards the right direction. Lit-up candles can be seen around the figure and on the table silhouette. The statue rotates 45 degrees and the lights illuminate the setting, revealling the statue to be on a grey pedestal, which also appears to be on top of a bigger pedestal. The company's name, ORIENTAL PICTURES in yellow can be seen sitting on top of the bigger pedestal, with "ORIENTAL" being on the upper part of the pedestal and "PICTURES" on the lower part.

FX/SFX: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: A faint organ tune with bells ringing, along with a harp glissando when the lights illuminate the figure.

Availability: Only known to have appeared on Ninaithathai Mudippavan.

Legacy: This logo actually has a fairly unique concept, something that can't be said about the next logo.

Logo (2008)

Nicknames: "Indian Pixar Logo", "Luxo Jr. Went To India", "Bootleg Luxo Jr."

Logo: On a white background, we see the word "ORIENTAL", written in a dark blue Revue Bold font. After a few seconds, a lamp jumps in from the right of the screen, and stops at the "I" in "ORIENTAL". The lamp looks around a bit, and begins to jump on the "I" until fully squishing it. As the lamp looks around once more, "PICTURES" in the same font as "ORIENTAL" (though now colored white) fades in below. The lamp then looks at the camera as the logo ends.

FX/SFX: Rather basic CGI animation, and the film scratches. The entire thing can also be seen shifting down slightly at some point due to how the film was scanned.

Music/Sounds: What sounds like a dreamy synth theme, and a spring-like sound when the lamp is jumping on the "I".

Availability: Only known to have appeared on Thiru Goutham SSLC.

Legacy: This logo is known to copy the same concept as the Pixar Animation Studios logo, making it come off as unoriginal as a result.
