1st Logo (1972)


Logo: On a foggy background, there's a sculpture of a woman trying to escape from a man. Above it, there is curved text (in the form of an arch): "RAMSAY FILMS". The camera zooms out and the sculpture is fully revealed along with the rest of the background, which is a sunset.

Trivia: The statue used in the logo is "The Rape of Proserpina" by Gianlorenzo Bernini.

FX/SFX: The zoom out.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen only on Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche.

Editor's Note: The statue may be off-putting, but it's mostly a beautiful logo with the sunset.

2nd Logo (1975-1978)
Nicknames: "Sunset/Statue From Hell", "Statue of Final Judgement", "Stop! Hey! What's That Sound?", "Caesar disapproves of this statue!", "The Statue in the Sunset"

Logo: On a sunset background, the statue from the previous logo appears from the right and moves to the left side of the screen. Right after the statue stops moving, "RAMSAY FILMS" appears with a moving blood-red color to it.

Variant: On Darwaza, the text instead says "RAMSAY BROTHERS'" and is plain.

FX/SFX: The statue appearing and moving, the text appearing, the color moving in the text.

Music/Sounds: The howl of a wolf, with two bangs of a drum and a kind of roar from a panther. After this, there are more drums pounding along with another roar of a panther, with another howl of a wolf. There is the sound of a horn playing throughout.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The music in this logo is heard at the beginning of Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche.

Availability: Seen on Andhera and Darwaza.

Editor's Note: This logo is known to be infamous among the logo community for the off-putting statue from the previous logo, dark atmosphere, sounds (especially the extremely loud panther roars) and the bloody text in the original version. However, the scariness of it is likely intentional, considering that it appeared on horror films.

3rd Logo (1991)


Logo: TBA

FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Seen on Aakhri Cheekh.

Editor's Note: This logo is tamer than the previous logo, thanks to its calmer atmosphere and the absence of the statue from the previous logos, though the animation on the logo sliding is very rough.
