We show that a family $\mathcal{F}$ of analytic functions in the unit disk ${\mathbb{D}}$ all of whose zeros have multiplicity at least$k$and which satisfy a condition of the form $$f^n(z)f^{(k)}(xz)\ne1$$ for all $z\in{\mathbb{D}}$ and $f\in\mathcal{F}$ (where$n$≥3,$k$≥1 and 0<|$x$|≤1) is normal at the origin. The proof relies on a modification of Nevanlinna theory in combination with the Zalcman–Pang rescaling method. Furthermore we prove the corresponding Picard-type theorem for entire functions and some generalizations.
