1st Logo

(1950-1968)

Logo: On a cloudy background, there's a flag inside an arch. The flag consists of a monkey flying with a cane. Below the arch, "VIJAYA PRODUCTIONS LTD" is written inside a rectangle. Inside the arch, there are some Hindi words, possibly the name of the company.

Trivia: The monkey on the flag is Maruti, a God in Hindu mythology.

FX/SFX: The flag waving.

Cheesy Factor: Whoa, how did they make the details with the logo itself's concept very tacky and jarring?

Music/Sounds: A heroic melody with drums and some notes of a trumpet.

Availability: Seen on films released by the company during the period, like Uma Chandi Gowri Sankarula Katha, among others.

Scare Factor: Minimal to high, maybe beacuse of the fanfare and jarring scheme of the logo.
