Background
Alfa-Bank is the largest private bank in Russia, founded in 1990 by Russian businessman Mikhail Fridman, who remains as the controlling owner. Headquartered in Moscow, it operates in seven countries, providing financial services to 22 million active corporate customers and over 1 million active retail clients as of 2021. On 1 March 2022, Mikhail Fridman and Pyotr Aven left the bank's board of directors after coming under EU sanctions imposed in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. For the same reason, the bank has been sanctioned by US and EU authorities beginning in February 2022 and 2023, respectively.
1st Tag (1994-Late 1990s/Early 2000s)
Visuals: On a black background, a blue sphere is shown not so far from the screen. Below are a multitude of blue segmented spherical shapes with odd thin cutouts as they rotate randomly, as the camera pans down to show the rest of the shapes. From the back of them, a thin italicized "A", colored white from the front and transparent cornflower blue from it's lateral faces extends all the way to intersect with the segmented shapes. The background turns grainy white, as the thin "АЛЬФА-БАНК" with the lateral faces colored cornflower, extends from the bottom and flattens, followed by the segmented shapes doing the same action.
Variant: On most commercials that last a minute long, the completed logo is shown in a horizontal angle in a light yellow background.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A somewhat suspenseful orchestral piece, followed by a Russian announcer saying the company's name.
2nd Tag (Late 1990s/Early 2000s-2002?)
