Editor's Note:The lightning, the creepy male singing, the overall darkness of the logo, the zoom-in to the lamp, long length, the dark wind instrument notes at the end and even the lightning at the beginning makes this one of the darkest and most unsettling Indian logos. However, some people could find this logo overly long and boring. |

Tanzim K and The Rooster Hydra
Background:
N.A.T. Pictures (National Art Theater) was a production company co-founded by N. Trivikrama Rao in 1953 solely to produce Telugu-language films.
1st Logo (July 17, 1953)
.png)
Visuals: There is an ancient lamp inside a circular emblem outline being illuminated by several lightning strikes. When there are no more lightning strikes, there are three flames over the lamp (turned up). After that, the camera moves down to show us a rectangle with "NATIONAL ARTS" written inside. Then, the camera zooms very slowly to the lamp.
Closing variant: The camera zooms out slowly from the lamp with a male announcer heard in the variant.
Technique: Practical effects with live-action for the flames.
Audio: The sounds of thunder, a male voice-over singing in Sanskrit, with an ominous tanpura note held throughout, and sounds with a wind instrument.
Availability: Appears only on Pitchi Pullaiah. A print version of this logo appears on the poster of Todu Dongalu.
Legacy: It was often classified as one of the scariest Indian logos among the community for its dark atmosphere and ominous audio. However, this is seen as normal in its home country, since countries around the world have different cultures.
