Visuals: Over a black background is a dark red box that contains a white blocky "A" with the word "АМЕДIА" at the center of it in a quadratic font.
Technique: A still, digital graphic.
Audio: The closing theme.
Availability: The logo was seen on the first 25 episodes of Бедная Настя.
2nd Logo (December 4, 2003-)
Visuals: On a black background, a white rectangle appears flipping from the right to the front and flashes. Inside a rectangle, a rotating bar of multiple flashing colors fades in. The footage inside a rectangle then fades to an abstract purple-orange gradient rounded rectangle model, stylized as a letter "a", rapidly rotating to face the camera and going to the place. The white rectangle stops flashing and the word "amEDIa" flips in letter-by-letter below the model.
Variants:
- There exists a still version, where the rectangle in which the logo is located being thiner and more rounded.
- A variant with the website below a white rectangle also exists.
- A short variant starts with the "a" rectangle appearing.
- The widescreen variant also exists.
Technique: CGI animation.
Audio: A whoosh, then a Hi-Fi note with plucking sounds, followed by a shining sound and piano notes. Sometimes, it's silent or the closing theme.
Audio Variant: On Моя прекрасная няня, a gong sound is heard, presumably taken from the closing theme of Бедная Настя.
Availability: Used at the end of Amedia-produced sitcoms and TV series.
- The logo made its debut on the later episodes of Бедная Настя as a still version, which later appeared on Дорогая Маша Березина and the first six seasons of Моя прекрасная няня.
- It also appears in the Step by Step Russian adaption and on some movies.
