R.M. Art Productions

Background
R.M. Art Productions was an Indian film company founded by producer Ratan Mohan. Between 1964 and 1994, the company produced near 20 films.

1st Logo (1965)


Logo: We see on a lighted sunburst background of red, green, yellow and white lines over a Hindu shrine, with a statue of the sun god Surya riding a chariot pulled by seven horses. The god carries the rope on the nose of the horses, and clouds are seen from the horses' hooves. and we see a beige pedestal saying "R.M. ART PRODUCTIONS", on a red, weird-like font.

Technique: None. It's a still logo, mainly due to the frozen scheme of it.

Music/Sounds: A triumphant fanfare, which the last note is being held following into a menacing fanfare that the triumphant one preceded it, consisting of many crashes.

Availability: Only seen on Ram Bharat Milan.

Legacy: The overall darkness of the logo, the frozen nature, the look of the horses, and the sudden face of the God may unnerve some.

2nd Logo (1975-1994)
Logo: On a black background, we see a silhouette. Suddenly, lights turn on to reveal the silhouette of the text, which says "R.M. ART" on the top, and "PRODUCTIONS", which is covered on a pedestal, in the bottom, all in gold, white, brown or beige. The background is black on the bottom of the screen, and the logo then shines extremely with an massive amount of lights when it's finished revealing.

Technique: The illumination of the text.

Music/Sounds: An extremely loud rustling sound, followed by wind, and an deep Indian voice speaking something in Hindi. A soft drum roll is heard.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on Sangram, Jwala, Haatim Tai and Maha Shaktishaali.

Legacy: The loud nature of the logo, along with the darkness at the beginning, rustling, the illumination of the statue, the overuse of lights and the cheesy sunburst can frighten a lot of people.
