Background

Tutu Films was a film production company from India.

1st Logo (September 28, 1984)

Visuals: On a space background with some blinking stars, there is a red Om symbol zooming slowly to the screen. When it stops, three abstract, minuscule "T"'s, (that look like the shape of Texas) colored cyan, magenta and green, respectively, go to the right in order of appearance, morphing in left of the Om symbol. A lemon-like structure morphs at the border of the green T. After that, the text "tutu films" in white, extends on both sides of the background and the Om symbol.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: A melody played by a tampura with some tiny bells, along with a synth which sounds like the song "Tubular Bells", and a very loud gong for the white text.

Availability: Only seen on Zakhmi Sher.

2nd Logo (October 15, 1988-March 23, 1990)

Visuals: On a starfield backdrop, there is an orange circle with a red Om symbol zooming in. It then stops at the center, causing the company's name "TUTU FILMS" in red to appear below the circle letter-by-letter, curving around the circle.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: Some strums of a sitar, which is then followed by a chorus.

Availability: Seen on Mar Mitenge and Amiri Garibi.

3rd Logo (March 22, 1996)

Visuals: There is a pathway with a bunch of fences which leads to a stone castle with torches at the end. A full moon can be seen in the background. As we come close to the gate (which is colored red with 2 icons on both doors), it automatically opens, revealing the stone words:

TUTU
FILMS

inside a dark room with 6 torches. A yellow light shines above the text, making it more visible.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A dramatic tabla tune with an ominous female chorus singing, which is followed by a dreamy synth tune once we reach the insides of the castle.

Availability: Seen only on Rajkumar.
