Aum Films

(May 15, 1991)


Logo: We see a bunch of yellow sunrays against a black background. We slowly zoom away from the sunrays as it rotates 90 degrees while at it. We stop zooming away from the sunrays, causing it to dissipate until it forms the shape of an Aum symbol (hence the name), which is against a bunch of flashing multicolored-stars on a black background. A flash occurs, which turns the symbol into a solid orange Aum symbol, in which also shines. After that, the company's name "Cooper Black" fades in below the Aum symbol. It stays like that for a few seconds until we fade to black.

Technique: Traditional animation, which includes the zooming out, the rays dissipiating, the stars flashing along with the Aum symbol and the company's name fading in.

Music/Sounds: A tampura faintly rolling is first heard, along with a dramatic choral tune when the flash occurs. This is then followed by a female chorus saying "Om" when the company's name fades in, which echoes all the way to the end.

Availability: This was only seen on Meena Bazar.

Legacy: This logo can be rather haunting for some people, mainly because of the aniamtion, the sudden choral tune and the loudness of the logo.
