ASK Productions

Logo (January 20, 1983)


Logo: On a moving vortex-like background with many colors and smoke, a silhouette of a crescent with a star slowly fades in. It then slowly illuminates itself to reveal a picture of a mosque with the Kaaba in the middle, all encrusted in gold with ten dark striped lines on it. Below it is the text "ASK" and a crescent which says "PRODUCTIONS" with stars between. It stays still for over a few seconds until we finally fade to black.

Technique: Everything in the logo, all done with cheap graphics.

Music/Sounds: Somber-sounding traditional Indian music with a piano, a sitar and a tanpura, followed by a very deep announcer speaking in Hindi.

Availability: Seen only on Ek Bar Chale Aao.

Legacy: The depressing music and psychedelic animated ambience might unnerve some. The announcer also contributes as well.
