PNR Pictures

1st Logo (October 15, 1982)


Logo: We see the yellow text "PNR" in a fancy font & the red text "Pictures" below it zoom in & get in the center.

FX/SFX: The fading and the zoom out.

Music/Sounds: A 4-note trumpet fanfare. The last two notes are held.

Availability: Seen on Billa Ranga.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (January 1, 1984-February 21, 1986)


Logo: On a black background with curved lines, we see the letters "P", "N", & "R" appear randomly, in purple & yellow. Then they appear one-by-one flashing purple, yellow, & red as we cut to a moving light background. Then, "PNR" & "Pictures" appear one-by-one twice before stopping & flashing various colors.

Variantː There's a short/abridged variant. It's also brownish.

FX/SFX: The flashing letters, as well as what appears to be early CGI. Its probably the oldest Indian logo thus far to use CGI.

Music/Sounds: A majestic trumpet fanfare, as well as a few gunshots and a bit of a synthesized compose at the beginning.

Availability: Seen on Sattathai Thiruthangal and Kutra.

Editor's Note: This logo is pretty bizarre and unusual for Indian logo standards. The flashing of text can cause seizures, and the animation behind it can be seen as mind-blowing for the time.
