Sultan Productions (India)

 Background:  Sultan Productions was a film company founded by Indian film director Sultan Ahmed (1938-2002). This company produced only 5 films between 1973 and 1995.

1st Logo (1973-June 23, 1989)
 Logo:  On a dark setting, we see a silhouette of a two-squared pedestal and stepping on it it's a "sultan" carrying a sheep on it's head, which is on a dark yellow fog that stands still for a few seconds. Then, a light from a distance reveals the statue, which is the same thing as before, but all in a yellow color scheme. On the pedestal we see the text "SP" on red. We then cut to the opening theme of the movie.

 FX/SFX:  The fog and the lights, which are all in live-action.

 Music/Sounds:  A deep male voice saying "Every sailor finds his shore. The Almighty is the saviour when there's no one." in Hindi, then a 3-note shrill violin fanfare with an orchestra plays when the statue is revealed.

 Availability:  Seen on their films of the time, such as Heera, Ganga Ki Saugandh, Dharam Kanta and Daata.

 Editor's Note:  The revelation of the statue the deep and loud sounding announcer and the fanfare will startle unsuspecting people.

(March 24, 1995)


 Logo:  Same as the last logo, but the logo is in a darker tone and the camera is zoomed in to the boy with the sheep, so we can't see the pedestal. Finally, in a sweep effect, the text "SULTAN PRODUCTIONS" on a CinemaScope-like font and "PRESENTS" in an Arial-like font in the bottom, all in yellow.

 FX/SFX:  Same as before, but with the exception of the text.

 Music/Sounds:  Same as the previous logo.

 Availability:  Seen on Jai Vikraanta.

 Editor's Note:  The reasons are about the same as before, but for the most part, we see clearly the statue along with the sudden appearance of the text, and that at some point would surprise people even if they're not expecting it.
