Background

S.S. Productions Limited is a Bangladeshi film production and distribution company founded and owned by Shabana on early 1970's, with the first film being Matir Ghar from 1979. Its best known for making the 1990 award-winning film Goriber Bou. S.S. Productions went dormant from the mid-2000's due to Shabana retiring from the film industry in 1998 and went to the United States to focus on her family members. Its latest film is Swami Chintai from 2004.

1st Logo (1979)

Logo: On a black background, we see an S. Then we see another S. Then they collide. An line appears on icon. Then the words "S.S. PRODUCTIONS" appears on the bottom.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: An male announcer speaking in Bengali.

Availability: Ultra rare. Only seen on Matir Ghar.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1983)

Notice: this template has been replaced by {{Guidance}} and {{Guidance detail}}

Nicknames: "S.S. of Doom", "The Darkness S.S."

Logo: On a gray background, we see an S moving to the left. Then the S clones appear and collide. We see an heart like thing on the icon. Then we see the words "S.S. PRODUCTIONS" We see an border before the logo cuts off.

FX/SFX: The collusion and the border.

Music/Sounds: A series of loud noises and a loud rumble, followed by a rock gutter fanfare.

Availability: Extremely rare. Only seen on Nazma.

Editor's Note: The loud audio and darkness may get to a dozen of people.

3rd Logo (1987)

Logo: On a light green background, we see a guitar on the right and the Bengali words "Presented & Distributed by S.S. Productions Ltd." on the left.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Very rare. Seen on Shami Stri.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (1990)

Logo: On a dark blue background, we see the yellow circle (representing a spotlight) with the words "A S.S. Productions Ltd. production & release" in Bengali.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Scarce. Seen on the award-winning film Goriber Bou.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (Early 1990's - 1998)

Notice: this template has been replaced by {{Guidance}} and {{Guidance detail}}

Nicknames: "The Heart of Shabana", "The Disco Logo", "Flashing S.S.", "Disco S.S."

Logo: On a black background, we see the icon from before with four lights shining at the viewer. It cuts off to a white background. A rectangle rotates to the top. The second rectangle does the same thing. Then a black background takes over the white background. We then see a heart-like thing and gets big as it turns to a upside-down heart. It beats five times and becomes small. We then see the first S. Another S appears. They move to the heart and the first S flashes. It goes up. Black squares appear rapidly. Then the black background is removed. Then the words "S.S. PRODUCTIONS LTD." appear in red. A light highlights the text. Then the bold words "PRESENT'S" appear in black in typewriter effect.

Variant:

A restored version exists on DVD and Blu-ray prints of the S.S. Productions films.
An short and detoriorated verison exists on Ondho Bishwas.
Varying on a film detorioration, the logo might be color-tinted.
During the opening credits of Meyerao Manush (the last film to use this logo), the logo is in 3D.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: Warbling synthesizer noises followed by an 70s-esque disco beat, then a synth horn theme plays.

Availability: Rare. Seen on S.S. Productions' films from that time.

Editor's Note: For the 90s, this is very dated with the primitive animation, disco music and the film quality which makes it feel more like a 70s logo. However, the concept is creative and the music is pretty catchy.

6th Logo (1993)

7th Logo (2004)
