However, the scariness of it is likely intentional, considering that it appeared on horror films. |

2nd Logo (April 8, 1975-January 21, 1978)
![]() | The video of this logo may be too loud or severely distorted. |
Visuals: On a sunset background, the statue from the previous logo appears from the right and moves to the left side of the screen. Right after the statue stops moving, "RAMSAY FILMS" appears with a moving blood-red color to it.
Variant: On Darwaza, the text instead says "RAMSAY BROTHERS'" and is plain gold.
Technique: Sliding effects combined with live-action (for the text effect in Andhera).
Audio: The howl of a wolf, with two bangs of a drum and a kind of roar from a panther. After this, there are more drums pounding along with another roar of a panther, with another howl of a wolf. There is the sound of a horn playing throughout.
Audio Trivia: The music in this logo is heard at the beginning of Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche.
Availability: Only seen on Andhera and Darwaza.
Legacy: It is widely considered one of the scariest Indian logos by the community due to the dark atmosphere, the statue and the loud audio. However, as this is a horror company, this was likely intentional.
