Sujatha Cine Arts (first era)

1st Logo (June 7, 1968-October 10, 1969)

• 

Visuals: On a cloudy sky background, there is a silhouetted statue on its side before rotating 90 degrees a few seconds later. A spotlight illuminates the statue, revealing an undetailed model of a griffin holding a small shield with "SCA" engraved. The griffin stands on a pedestal that reads "SUJATHA CINE ARTS".

Technique: Practical effects.

Audio: A loud and patriotic brass fanfare.

Availability: Seen on En Thambi and Thirudan.

2nd Logo (October 29, 1970-January 26, 1989)

• 
• 

Visuals: The concept is similar to the previous logo where the same silhouetted model is shown on its side before rotating 90 degrees against a horizontal color-changing background. A spotlight illuminates the statue once it stops rotating, revealing a more colorized and detailed version of the griffin model: the griffin is in a bronze texture, and the pedestal and shield are colored blue, with the shield having a gold-colored border and letters, as well as some gold-colored accents on the pedestal.

Variant: A version with the Tamil text of the company's name on the wing intact.

Technique: Practical effects.

Audio: A more bombastic and proud-sounding rendition of the previous logo's fanfare with the last three notes played twice, also with the last note being higher-pitched.

Availability: Seen on their releases from this period, such as Sattam.

Logo (October 18, 1975-May 18, 1979)

• 

Visuals: The concept is similar to the previous logo although the color-changing background is going upwards this time and slightly slower-paced. The spotlight illuminates another version of the logo model, revealing a silghtly altered version of the griffin model where it mostly remains the same but with a few key differences: the "SCA" is replaced with a large, shiny "SI" in gold, and sans-serif, "SUJATHA CINE ARTS" is replaced by "SUJATHA INTERNATIONAL", and more of the pedestal is shown, which comprises a white lower body displaying a bold "(MADRAS)" in white with a blue accent on the bottom, all on top of a red platform.

Technique: Practical effects.

Audio: A more bombastic and proud-sounding rendition of the 1st logo of Sujatha Cine Arts' fanfare with the last three notes played twice, also with the last note being higher-pitched.

Availability: Seen on Dulhan and Amar Deep.

Sujatha Cine Arts (second era)

Logo (July 20, 2007)

Visuals: On a space background with a gold light and a gold searchlight is the silhouette of a statue from before now in a 3D model. 2 more searchlights cross, illuminating the statue (with a griffin and "SCA" in gold). "SUJATHA CINE ARTS" in gold and in a futuristic font, wipes in via light effect and shines. The searchlights continue to cross.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A remastered version of the previous logo.

Availability: Only seen on Kireedam.
