Nicknames: "The RJB Trains", "Red Trains", "Leaks For ImageMovers' Russian Division", "The Red Arrow", "CGI Trains"

Logo: We see a train's light, moving, before the train shows, the train appears, another train is seen, they pass by. Then a shimmering red arrow with "КРАСНАЯ СТРЕЛА" below appears as everything slowly fades to black, it flashes for a bit before turning flat.

Variant:

• In some films, we cut to black before the logo itself appearing instead of slowly fading.
• On Hipsters, the logo fades out early.
• On Angels of Revolution, the logo is still, and the text (which is white in this variant) reads "КИНОКОМПАНИЯ «КРАСНАЯ СТРЕЛА»"
