Majadesh Films (Sri Lanka)

1st Logo

(1979-1981)

Logo: We see an still image of Yinu Akushem on a a chair in a black background looking sinister, first being dark, then illuminated by the lights. Then, the text which says the company's name on white, appears zooming in.

Variant: On it's first film, Ashi, the logo stays still for over a minute.

FX/SFX: The illumination of the girl, the zooming in of the texts. For the variant, none.

Music/Sounds: A very sinister and dramatic fanfare made by an orchestra after four seconds of silence. The same fanfare plays during the beginning of the opening credits of Mija Khandi Raan.

For Ashi, it's none, which makes the logo more boring.

Availability: Seen on Ashi, Eel Athavarim, Sobalachaka Panchee Viranjh, Essim Bilah and Mija Khandi Raan.

Editor’s Note: The dramatic fanfare accompanied by the revealment of the logo will surprise and haunt many people, given the first 4 preceeding seconds of silence, and the same fanfare playing at the beginning of the Mija Khandi Raan opening credits may also catch some viewers off guard. The darkness doesn't help either.
