Kaycey Films

Logo (May 23, 1976)



Visuals: Fading in, there is a model of the Earth with a roaring lion standing on top of it, all with slowly moving orange smoke behind it. When it stops fading, the company name in red flips into view from the bottom and sits in front of the Earth. There is a small color adjustment of the smoke where the smoke's color slowly shifts its colors to a shade of green.

Technique: Practical effects.

Audio: After a loud instrumental note before a fierce lion roar is heard when the setting fades in, a slow, rising bombastic brass fanfare plays when the text shows up. Near the end, another lion roar can be heard although more faint.

Availability: It is known only to be seen on Uzhaikkum Karangal.

Logo (July 18, 1986)

Visuals: In a dark room, there is a silhouetted model of a roaring tiger standing on top of its pedestal with its forearms holding onto a sphere, being dimly lit by a spotlight behind the model. There are two rings composed of red-green-blue lines on both sides of the screen (presumably from two light sources). Eventually, after a while, another spotlight from behind the camera illuminates the model, which reveals more of the tiger, who appears to be holding onto an earth model, and more of the pedestal which is colored white, and contains the company name in a shiny golden texture. It remains static for the last few seconds.

Technique: Practical effects.

Audio: First, a sustained two-note synth bell jingle when the logo fades in lasts for a few seconds before it transitions to a bombastic synthesized fanfare before the model is illuminated. Another dinging synth bell is heard at the end.

Availability: It is known only to be seen on Enakku Nane Needipathi.
