1st (Opening) Logo (October 7, 1964)

Provided ID could not be validated.

Logo: On footage of cloudy smoke sepia-toned due to the date, we see a circle image of the Manakamana Temple, with rings coming out of the outside of the image. The company's name does not appear.

FX/SFX: Live action for the background, and 2D animation for the rings.

Music/Sounds: A form of ominous Tibetan chanting with chimes.

Availability: Only seen on Aama (the first Nepalese movie).

Editor's Note: Perhaps the oldest Nepalese logo on this wiki, and it truly shows, thanks to the film quality, along with the distorted sounding chanting, which sounds rather ghostly. The color scheme doesn't help either because all it does is make the logo more ominous.

2nd (Closing) Logo (October 7, 1964)

Provided ID could not be validated.

Logo: We first get a panning shot of what appears to be a crowd of people; however, due to the heavy film deterioration, it is hard to see what is happening. This then appears to fade into smoke, then quickly pans down to a map of Nepal. This shot is held for some time as smoke begins to appear in the background. This then cuts to a picture of people who were most likely members of Nepalese royalty (King Mahendra, the King of Nepal from 1955 to 1972^[1], produced Aama, the sole movie this logo and the one above it appear in^[2]). This then cuts back to the topographic map of Nepal; a flying Nepalese flag then fades in, and the Nepali words "Victory for Nepal" zoom in, ending the logo.

FX/SFX: The entire logo appears to be in live action, possibly apart from the map.

Music/Sounds: A end of the closing theme of the film, which is followed by a sudden long flute crescendo. Shortly after the crescendo, a form of Tibetan chant is heard. As the Nepalese flag fades in towards the end of the logo, the chanting ends and is replaced by a loud, regal fanfare, the last note of which is held for the rest of the logo.

Availability: Seen on the ending of Aama (the first logo appears on the start of said film).

Editor's Note: This logo is much lesser known in the logo community than its opening counterpart and is extremely obscure. It is considered scarier than the opening logo due to its somewhat lower film quality and loudness, not to mention the fanfare at the end.
