Background

Rangeela Productions was a film production company in Pakistan created by Saeed Khan Rangeela in 1969. The company's first film was , which was released on May 9, 1969.

1st Logo (May 9, 1969-1972)

Nickname: "The Man and the Horse"

Logo: We see a man getting up from his bed and walks by what appears to be his house, fixing himself and doing his hair. We then cut to his face, which looks kind of worried. Next we cut to a white horse on a black background before cutting back to the man's face, which looks more worried. We cut back to the horse, this time in a different position while moving his snout. We finally cut back to the man, which turns left, looking for anyone around him. After 4 seconds, he smiles and laughs. Finally, we see the hard-to-read text "RANGEELA PRODUCTION" in white and "Presents", also white in cursive. It all ends with the fade-out effect.

FX/SFX: Live action for the scenes and 2D animation for the text.

Music/Sounds: A series of piano keys and trumpets heard throughout the logo, which are hard to hear due to deterioration.

Availability: Ultra rare. Was seen on their earliest movies from them, including the aforementioned Diya aur Toofan.

Legacy: A funny logo in general, despite the distorted noises.

2nd Logo (1971-Early 1990s)

B&W
Aurat Raj Version
Khoobsurat Shaitan Version

Logo: We zoom out from a flaming figure on top of a giant "R", which appears to be sitting on top of a pedestal, with an image of a filmstrip circling below. The camera then quickly moves into the filmstrip which reads "RANGEELA PRODUCTIONS".

Variants:

On Aurat Raj, due to deterioration, the logo has a red hue to it, which makes some of the footage hard to see and the footage that is seen is in a white outline.
On Khoobsurtat Shaitan and Gulli, only the first part is shown.
Most of the time, the logo is shown in black and white.

FX/SFX: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: A drumroll with a bombastic male announcer. A 3-note triumphant brass fanfare follows.

Availability: Rare. Seen on the company's films including Meri Mohabbat Teray Hawalay, Dil Aur Dunya and Aurat Raj. The cut-off variants can seen on Khoobsurat Shaitan and Gulli.

Legacy: This has been a weird logo among the logo community, due to the questionable nature and the fact that the flaming figure was included, especially for the Aurat Raj Version, which can be creepy to some.

3rd Logo (1972-1973)

Nickname: "The Great Explosion of Rangeela"

Logo: We see footage of an explosion tinted in orange (actually part of the first scene of Kubra Ashiq). After a few seconds, it freezes, and the text in black "RANGEELA PRODUCTIONS" and "Present" in below the name of the company with "Present" in a script font fade in. It then cuts to a soldier with an AK-47, then to a faint explosion. it then cuts to a tank with dust flying on it. It then cuts to two soldiers running, while jumping over the ground. It then cuts to the same soldier with the AK-47, but with a spinning effect. Then, it cuts to two soldiers running beside a tank. It then shows the tank for a few seconds before cutting to three more soldiers running past the tank before it cuts to the first part of the film.

Early Variant: On Do Rangeeley, the explosion is still, the text is red and the footage is brighter and desaturated. The war footage is also cut.

FX/SFX: The live-action footage with the text superimposed. Just the fade-in of the text for the variant.

Music/Sounds: The sound of the explosion, followed by the sound of guns, screams and more explosions.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on Kubra Ashiq and Do Rangeeley.

Legacy: This has been known for being one of the scariest logos of all time, thanks to the bizarre subject matter, ominous sounds and the nature. The Do Rangeeley version is way tamer, but it's still eerie. Whatever the reason how it's scary, this has been recently discovered it's likely intentional, since it cuts to a death scene with a man screaming in the background.
