Its best known for making the 1990 award-winning film Goriber Bou. S.S.

1st Logo (April 27, 1979)WARNING: Do not watch this logo if you're prone to epilepsy.

Nicknames: "The Heart of Shabana", "The Disco Logo", "Flashing S.S.", "Disco S.S."

Logo: On a black background, we see the icon from before with four lights shining at the viewer. It cuts off to a white background. A rectangle rotates to the top. The second rectangle does the same thing. Then a black background takes over the white background. We then see a heart-like thing and gets big as it turns to a upside-down heart. It beats five times and becomes small. We then see the first S. Another S appears. They move to the heart and the first S flashes. It goes up. Black squares appear rapidly. Then the black background is removed. Then the words "S.S. PRODUCTIONS LTD." appear in red. A light highlights the text. Then the bold words "PRESENT'S" appear in black in a typewriter effect.

Variants: FX/SFX: 2D animation.
 * A restored version exists on DVD and Blu-ray prints of the S.S. Productions films.
 * An short and deteriorated version exists on Ondho Bishwas.
 * Varying on a film deterioration, the logo might be color-tinted.
 * On Meyerao Manush, the logo is slightly zoomed-in.

Cheesy Factor: For the 90s, this is very dated with the primitive animation, disco music and the film quality which makes it feel more like an 80s logo. However, the concept is creative and the music is pretty catchy.

Music/Sounds: Warbling synthesizer noises followed by an 70s-esque disco beat, then a synth horn theme plays.

Availability: Rare. Seen on S.S. Productions' films from that time.

Scare Factor: Low to medium. The music, weird synth noises and seizure-inducing animation may get to some, and the film deterioration, however, may contribute.
