Venus Pictures

1st Logo (1961)
Logo: On a black background, we see 3 shapes which consists of 2 right triangles on the bottom corners, along with a line with a rounded top, forming a rounded triangle. Inside the shape is the company's name  V ENUS  PICTURES  with "VENUS" in a stylized font, and we also see a white star on the bottom. Behind all of that is what appears to be a light waving against the background.

Technique: The light waving.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic trumpet fanfare, sounding a bit similar to the 20th Century Studios fanfare.

Availability: Seen on Nazrana.

Legacy: Given that this is a first on-screen logo from the company, its typical that this logo is seen as simple. Luckily, the next logo has more effort.

2nd Logo (January 19, 1968)
Logo: On a dark space background, we see four planets fading in: Venus in the center, Mercury to the lower right, Earth to the right, and a moon at the top right. While Venus is spinning and slowly zooming towards us, Earth flies past said planet whereas Mercury is also revolving and remaining in place. When Venus stops coming closer, "Times New Roman" in white fades in underneath. The planet continues spinning for the rest of the logo.

Technique: The planets spinning, zooming, and soaring around, all in live-action.

Music/Sounds: Starting off with a warbling synth sound, a loud and dramatic orchestral sting plays before a four-note horn alternation plays.

Availability: Seen on Saathi.

Legacy: The dramatic and loud fanfare will surprise many people. Not helping either is that the logo starts with an ominous warbling sound. However, the modeling and the effects are great for the time.

3rd Logo (May 21, 1970)
Logo: In a dark room, we see a light from the left illuminating a white model of 2 letters "VP" slowly spinning until it faces forward. Below the model is a big pedestal containing 2 sets of text: VENUS PICTURES MADRAS all in the color red.

Technique: The light illuminating the model and the spinning of the model, which are all in live-action.

Music/Sounds: A slow woodwind fanfare.

Availability: Saen on En Annan.

Legacy: This logo looks rather simple and bland compared to the previous logo, but its tamer though.
