Film and Drama Youth Organisation (FADYO)

Background
FADYO (Film And Drama Youth Organisation) is an Indian Mizo-language film company based in Aizawl.

1st Logo (2002)


Nicknames: "Pinnacle Studio Video Test", "Cheap Shattering Glass"Logo: On a black background, the text "FADYO" in a futuristic font with gold 3D sides slide in from the left. Just when the company name (same as the text above) and the grey glowing text "Presentation appears (sliding in from the right), the screen crashes into pieces with a pink outline. They fly away. The proper logo fades in, with "Film and Drama Youth Organisation" under the text in a small size, and "Presentation" in a same size, below. After a few seconds, the screen explodes into pieces again, but this time like a window glass being smashed, and falls into the ground.

FX/SFX: The texts sliding, and the transitions.

Music/Sounds: A low-quality wind blowing sound, followed by two breaking glass sound effects when the screen breaks into pieces twice.

Availability: This logo is only seen on Chhingkhual Lanu, the first film from the company.

Editor's Note: This logo is very cheaply made for its use of stock sound effects and video editor-like animation, but its not as bad as the next one...

2nd Logo (2003-2017)


Nicknames: "The Clown Smile", "The Logo That is Entirely Void of Effort", "Unoriginality Overload", "Interruption of the Universal '90s Globe"

Logo: We start with the animation from the 1990 Universal Studios logo. Just before the letters of "UNIVERSAL" appear, the globe is very crudely moved to the left, to expand the starry background from the logo. Then, we see another earth globe spinning and zooming out, which slowly becomes a red circle. A red ring zooms out, surrounding the red dot. Then, we fade into a 3-D representation of the red dot and arc, with a bold half circle below, the word "FADYO" above, and "Presents" below all of them. Finally, white light rays emerge from the dot in the shape of an at sign ("@") moving up to down on the logo (like a searchlight), and then disappear.

FX/SFX: The opening of the 1990 Universal logo, the background "expanding", the globe zooming out, and the rest of the logo being formed.

Music/Sounds: The horn intro from "All You Need is Love" by The Beatles, followed by an ascending rocket-like sound effect, taken from the video game 3D Pinball Space Cadet. After this, the intro from "Free as a Bird" plays, also by The Beatles, and then the same sound effect from earlier when the lights appear.

Availability: Appears on the company's films, such as Khuanu Samsuih, Zodinpuii, I Tello Chuan, MIB (Men in Blue) - A Detective Comedy and Tluangtei.

Editor's Note: This logo is somewhat known, outside of India, for its poor animation and for how it cribs elements from other sources.

3rd Logo (2016-)
Nicknames: "The Clown Smile II", "Blue Clown Smile", "Improved FADYO"

Logo: Amongst a dark background with a beam of light at the top left corner, we see the clown smile logo from before, now in a different shape and coloured blue, appear by a rippling effect. The logo then shines a bit as "FADYO" in red wipes itself over the logo. Then, we see

Pictures Productions

Presents

appear in a rippling effect as the curve of the logo starts to shine. Then, "FADYO" starts to shine. The beam moves throughout the entire logo.

FX/SFX: The rippling effects and text wiping, the beam moving.

Music/Sounds: A peaceful tune with an orchestra, followed by a thumping sound after "FADYO" wipes in

Availability: Shown on Favang.

Editor's Note: Its still cheaply made, but definitely a big improvement over the last two logos.
