Gemini Studios

Not to be confused with Gemini Film Circuit.

Background
Gemini Studios was a film production company based in Madras founded in 1940 by S. S. Vasan when he bought Motion Picture Producers' Combines from Krishnaswamy Subrahmanyam and renamed it to Gemini Studios. Due to the box office failure of Ellorum Nallavare, the company shut down in 1975.

(September 20, 1942-April 11, 1975, 1985)
Logo: Two identical children, each holding a trumpet and wearing nothing but underwear, are standing on what appears to be a pedestal with "GEMINI" written in English, Hindi or Tamil (depending on the movie) and decorated lines next to each kids/Gemini. The statue turns around, facing the viewers. All of this is set on a turntable with the cloud background behind it.

Trivia: This logo is actually a model of the Gemini twins, Caster and Pollux, together known as "Dioskori". The company name was named after a happy-go-lucky/ always-winning race horse called "Gemini" because the founder, S. S. Vasan, was involved in a horse racing event.

Variants:
 * Avvaiyar: The stool is different. In addition, we see the landscape of a jungle, because of the palm trees at the left and some Hindi temples ath the right. In addition, the name of the company is in Tamil.
 * Nandanaar: The stool covers the foot of the statue, and below "GEMINI", we see "Presents" in script.

Technique: Live-action model work.

Music/Sounds: A trumpet fanfare.

Availability: Seen on films like Chandralekha, Zindagi, Paisa Ya Pyaar, Teen Bahuraniyan ("Three Daughters-in-law"), among others.
