Background

First Channel is the second oldest Russian TV channel, (after Fifth Channel) which started broadcasting in 1951 as First Program of Central Television USSR. After the collapse of the USSR, First Program was changed on First Channel of Ostankino, which lasted until 1995. ORT (Obshestvennoe Rossiyskoe Televidenie) started broadcasting on April 1st, 1995, and changed name to Perviy Kanal (First Channel) on September 2nd, 2002.

1st ID (April 1, 1995-September 30, 1996)

Visuals: On a blue background, we see a white clock.

Variant: Sometimes clocks stays for over 1 minute.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: Was seen before news programs of the channel, such as Vremya (Time) and Novosti (News).

2nd ID (October 1, 1996-September 30, 2000)

Visuals: We again see a white clock, the background this time is what seems to be a blue-ish blurry collage of footage of Russia and Russian media

Variant: A winter themed version exists.

Technique: 2D computer animation mixed with live-action.

Audio: Two versions exists:

Normal version: collage of various Russian media.
Winter version: collage of various Russian winter media.
Sometimes there would be no audio.

Availability: Was again shown before Novosti and Vremya.

3rd ID (October 1, 2000-May 31, 2011)

Visuals: On the cloudy sky background, we see the digital-like clock with seconds at the bottom and countdown on the top. The background changing one-by-one, with clock staying.

Trivia: The cloud footage came from a video pack by "Artbeats" from "Sky Effects".

Technique: A mix of 2D computer animation and live-action.

Audio: Two variants exist, both of them ending with countdown beeps:

Morning variant (which debuted on October 14, 2000): An energetic downtempo electronic rock music.
Evening variant (which was the only variant before the morning variant was introduced): The tick-tock sound with dreamy synth at the beginning, with a weird, pulsating drum-loop (the "Tension 1" drum loop) joining in at the 15 second mark, changing into the music with same dreamy synth.

Audio Trivia: Two variants of the music were composed by Sergey Chekryzhov using Spectrasonics' Distorted Reality 2 sample CD.

Audio Variant: In the morning variant's first 4 days, there were no countdown beeps; the beginning of the music was also extended.

Availability: Seen on many Novosti and Vremya broadcasts at the era. Also appeared at many technical difficulties with UEIT (УЭИТ) following, followed again by clock at the end.

4th ID (June 1, 2011-)

Visuals: It's brightened and enhanced version of previous ID, and in widescreen and 4:3.

Technique: A mix of 2D computer animation and live-action.

Audio: Same as the previous ident.

Availability: Was seen on newer Novosti and Vremya broadcasts, especially the Dobroe Utro (Good Morning) program airings.
