Background

Famous Video was a British VHS distributor that released Pakistani films. The company would later release Indian films on VHS.

1st Logo (1980s-1990s)

Four corners
The finished product

Visuals: On a red background, 4 copies of the Famous Video logo are seen in each quadrant of the screen. The logo consists of a coat of arms made with a white shield with the initials "FV" in a abstract font similar to the Viva Films logo, topped with a cyan wireframe globe and with 2 black lions rearing up on each side. Below the shield is a cloth with the text "FAMOUS VIDEO" on it in the Optima font. The logos are on white squares with a teal outline. All of the logos then slide together into the center, forming one large version in the center of the screen, before splitting apart and sliding away to reveal a blue screen.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: Pakistani bongo music. Otherwise, none.

Availability: Seen on Pakistani film VHS releases of the era.

2nd Logo (1990s-2000s)

Original
Stretched

Visuals: The same logo from before zooms in a clockwise spiral pattern, with each copy having a green outline. The logo remains still for a few seconds, before zooming out in a counter-clockwise spiral, leaving a screen full of copies that cut to a screen displaying the title of the movie.

Variant: Some prints have the logo start from the full logo.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: Same as before.

Availability: Seen on some VHS tapes from 1990s, such as Khush Naseeb, Hello Uncle Hai Aunti, Salaam Bombay, Duty and Aag Aur Suhaag.
