KLASS!

Logo descriptions by Grig2007 Video captures by El Chanel and Grig2007

Background

KLASS! is a television company known for the program Good Night, Little Ones! (Спокойной ночи, малыши!). It was founded in 1994.

1st Logo (1995-1999?)

Logo: On a sky background, a comet flies. Then it flies until a gray planet appears. The company name appears letter by letter. The comet then explodes into a blue splat-like creature with eyes. It stays on screen until the exclamation mark appears. Then splat-like creature's bounce and winks. The word "ТЕЛЕКОМПАНИЯ" written in Micra font appears above.

Variant: On some programs, the last shot of the logo is used as a still ident.

FX/SFX: Primitive 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: A comet sound with a happy fanfare, followed by two boings, a zooming-like sound, and a shining sound.

Availability: Very rare, seen on programs from that time, like the 2nd season of Dendy: The New Reality.

Editor's Note: The star-splat creature could be unsettling to some. Still, it's a fitting enough logo for a company that mostly produced children shows.

2nd Logo (1997?-2002)

Logo: On a night background, we see the Earth rotating. Then a comet flies around the planet, and flashes causing the night background to change to the morning sky. The splat-like creature from previous logo appears. Then the words appear with same effect as before, but the creature is not zooming in and out. Instead, the words do that thing. Then the splat-like creature winks. The words "ТЕЛЕКОМПАНИЯ" appear at the top with a lighting effect.

FX/SFX: Better 3D animation than the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability: Again, very rare. It was used in tandem with the previous logo for 2 years. Seen on programs from that era. It is intact on Detskiy reruns of Зов джунглей.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (2002-2004, 2006)

Logo: On white background, we see the balloons in colors of logo used till' 2014 and still used in print version after 2014. Then the lines drawing couple of times. Balloons then form the shapes, consisting of three differently-colored paint strokes, and the logo solidifies. Then the company name, complete with the yellow circle surrounding "ас", appears below. and they are forcing on white balloon on sky background. Words "представляет" appears below.

Trivia: This logo was designed by Merkator Group, a company that produced graphics for a handful of KLASS! shows.

FX/SFX: Everything; a combination of 2D and 3D.

Music/Sounds: 5 trumpet notes, followed by a cymbal crash and trumpet fanfare.

Availability: Uncommon, bordering on rare. Seen on programs of that era.

Editor's Note: None.

4th logo (2003-2004)

Logo: On a white background, we see this text written in Times New Roman Bold Italic:

ТЕЛЕКОМПАНИЯ

„КЛАСС!”

ПРЕДСТАВЛЯЕТ

Then, the logo cross-fades to the Poka Vse Doma intro.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Uncommon, was seen before Poka Vse Doma from 2002 to 2004.

Editor's Note: None.

5th logo (2004-2014)

Logo: On a dark blue background, we see electric yellow, red and blue stripes. They move to form the logo of TV company, along with the flashing letters. Then we come to the logo (the band is already formed). Logo formed by lines drawn, and the text appears:

класс!

телекомпания

представляет

Variants: It depends on the variant:

• Good Night, Little Ones! variant: Same as standard logo, but it cross-fades with the text:
• Программа создана
• при финансовой поддержке
• Федерального агентства
• по печати и массовым
• коммуникациям
• Poka Vse Doma variant: Same as the standard logo, but the heavy "KLONG!" (the sound when the heavy object, like an anvil, is dropped) is added when the logo is formed, before crossfading to the Poka Vse Doma intro. Strangely, there is no word "представляет" under the word "телекомпания".

Music/Sounds: There are two music variants for this logo, a short fast paced rock tune and a fast-paced dreamy electronic music complete with drums, accompanied by a whoosh.

Availability: Common, as it was used for 10 years. Seen on programs of that era and episodes of Good Night, Little Ones! Lastly seen on TV in 2014.

Editor's Note: None.

6th logo (2013, 2014-present)

Logo: On a white background, we see rainbows coming and disappearing. Then the camera pans and rainbows reveal the "hidden" text:

телекомпания

"КЛАСС!"

представляет

Then the logo is little stays on screen. After it cross-fades with the text like this:

Программа создана

при финансовой поддержке

Федерального агентства

по печати и массовым

коммуникациям

Trivia: The template that the logo used is "Rainbow Reveal" by uniquefx on Videohive.

FX/SFX: The rainbows, the text.

Music/Sounds: See the last logo.

Availability: Current, used on new episodes of Good Night, Little Ones! and its spin-off, Good Morning, Little Ones! Also seen on some other programs.

Editor's Note: The finished logo design is really lazy, being just a Videohive template.
