Nasir Hussain Films

Background[]

Nasir Hussain Films is an Indian film company founded in 1960 by Nasir Hussain, and didn't use a logo until 1963. It produced several films from 1963 until 1992. Although the company didn't produced films from then, the company is active and has participated in some films by equipments and editing.

Logo[]

(September 6, 1963 - May 22, 1992): We see various lightning and fog on a black background. As the lightning stops appearing a line shoots by and forms a circular border. The line leaves three marks and keeps on spinning rapidly. Everything fades into a clearer background, and the lights reveal a column with the word "FILMS" on it's capital. Above it there's an "nH", with a facial sculpture facing right seen above the "n".

Variants[]

On Teesri Manzil, the logo is tinted red.
On Baharon Ke Sapne, the logo is in B&W.
From 1973 to 1992, when the logo company appears, the face is yellow, the nH is almost white, the background is less darker and the "FILMS" letters are in different colours.

Music/Sounds[]

Until the apparition of the logo:

From 1963 to 1973: A dark hum with the sounds of thunder, then an arpeggiated Indian instrument theme, followed by a cymbal crash.
From 1977 to 1992: A tune with a violin with the sounds of the thunder, and then a kind of xylophone is played, followed after by a kind of computer sound and 6-note dramatic fanfare.

When the logo of the company appears:

From 1963 to 1977: A male announcer saying "क्या इश्क़ ने समझा है क्या हुस्न ने जाना है, हम ख़ाक-नशीनों की ठोकर में ज़माना है", and when he stops, we hear another cymbal. Baharon Ke Sapne uses a different voice.
Hum Kisise Kum Naheen: After the male announcer finishes speaking, the logo is silent.
From 1981 to 1992, the male announcer is different, and after he finishes speaking, we hear some notes from a kind of lyre.

Scare Factor[]

It depends.

Most variants: Medium to nightmare. The dark atmosphere, thunder (which would remind some of the Renaissance and Mehboob logos), announcer, and awkward logo design may put people off. For those who are not affected or used by it, low.
Teesri Manzil variant: High to nightmare, because of the tinted red background, making the logo scarier.
