Their operations included film production (1995-2004), distribution of soundtracks (as Time Audio), and ocassionally home video distribution. During their film production times, the company was also known to be called Time Audio Video and Time Films International. The company still operates on home video distribution, however.
(1995-)
Time Magnetics (1996)
Logo: We see a sunset sky and a dark Indian god sculpture. The lightning of the set changes, so the sky darkens and the Indian god sculpture is revealed, revealing it's white color and details(actually is Buddha). Buddha is wearing just a turban, has a red shard on his forehead, an emblem on his chest, and he's crossing his hands above his legs. Like most Indian religious logos, the name of the company doesn't appear.
Variant: On the movies distributed by the company as a home video distributor, like Darwaza: the sunset sky is orange and brown, and there's no previous revealing. Behind the head of Buddha appears an orange light which is moving around itself.
FX/SFX: The light revealing the logo/sculpture, which is live-action.
FX/SFX Variant: Darwaza and Andhera, the light behind Buddha, and the orange sunset, which is CGI.
Music/Sounds: A weird Indian theme with sitar and a man singing.
Availability: Very rare. Can be seen on any film produced by them at that time including Krishna, Jodi No. 1, Maseeha, among others, most of which can be found on YouTube. Also has been seen on some movies distributed by this company, like Andhera, Lootera and,Darwaza, which can be found in YouTube.
Scare Factor:
- Production variant: Medium. The weird theme, the background and sculpture of the god may disturb some, but this logo can oddly become a favorite.
- Distribution variant: Low to medium, because of the background, which is not dark, and the rays on Buddha's head. However, the theme and the statue are still there.
