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)

Logo: We see an ancient lamp inside a circular emblem outline being illuminated by several lightning strikes. When there are no more lightning strikes, we see 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: Live-action with some lighting effects at the beginning.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of thunder, a male singing in Telugu, 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.

2nd Logo (October 21, 1955-1974)

Logo: We see some sort of statue surrounded by flowers, with a couple candles on each side of it. The camera then zooms out to reveal two religiously-dressed women on a table around what appears to be food and a religiously dressed man waving another candle in front of the women three times before placing it down on the table to pray. The name of the company does not appear.

Technique: Live action.

Music/Sounds: A male singing, and then speaking fast and a chorus of males speaking three times, and some bells ringing.

Availability: Seen on Jayasimha, Varakatnam, Panduranga Mahatyam, Kodalu Diddina Kapuram, Seetharama Kalyanamand Tatamma Kala, among other films which can be found on YouTube.
