Lean-M (a.k.a. "Lean-M Producers Center") is a Russian-based television production company that was founded in 2000 by producers Timur Weinstein, Vyacheslav Murugov, and Oleg Osipov. On February 8, 2007, Sony Pictures Television acquired a 51% stake in Lean-M. On April 13, 2009, SPT acquired another 16%, and in 2010, SPT acquired the remainder. The company didn't have an animated on-screen logo until 2006.
Nicknames: "Cardiogram", "Lean-M EKG"
Logo: On a black background, a glowing orange cardiogram line is drawn in and "ЛеанМ" ("LeanM") in a scraggly angular handwritten font wipes in. At the same time, a two-colored rectangle bar extends below, consisting of a gray part with the words "продюсерский центр" ("Producer center") in black and an orange part with "ЛЕАН-М" in white. Then the logo ripples, blurs and shrinks horizontally, and "представляют" ("present") wipes in from the left and shines.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The cardiogram line and the logo forming. Nice CGI.
Music/Sounds: An electronic screeching sound, followed by an array of laser zaps and a downtempo tune. On earlier episodes of Voroniny, the last second of the theme is cut off.
Availability: First seen on the 6th season of Soldiers (Солдаты) and the 2nd season of Students (Студенты). Later, it was seen on several Russian sitcom shows and movies, including the long-running show Voroniny (Воронины). Since 2010, the logo is moved from the opening to the closing credits and is followed by the SPT logo (and since 2016 by the Sony-SPT combo). Most of the recent Lean-M productions have an in-credit mention instead, however, the logo was recently spotted on Alien Flock (Чужая стая), on Glubokaya Bay (Бухта Глубокая) and on The Criminal Doctor (Криминальный доктор).
Editor's Note: None.
Nicknames: "Cardiogram II", "Lean-M EKG II", "Lean-M Off the Edge of Your Seat"
Logo: On a black background, we see a small light ping on the left pulsating. Wen the long beep is heard, the light becomes a cardiogram line as a straight line, then the heartbeat monitor draws almost identical zig-zags like in the first logo; on the third time, the line forms the word "ЛеанМ" ("LeanM"), in a glowing ghostly white, but less grungy and smoother font, and the two-colored rectangle from the previous logo, also with a ghostly white glow, appears. Once they fade out, the word "ЛеанМ" ("LeanM") suddenly reappears instead of "представляет" ("presents"), but larger. After a few seconds, the name fades out quickly, ending the logo.
Variant: A short version with the full logo already formed was seen on the trailer to После жизни.
FX/SFX: The cardiogram line, and the logo forming.
Music/Sounds: A series of high-pitched beeps from a cardiogram with deep ambient sounds in the background, a longer beep representing a flatline, a camera flash sound for each time the heart monitor drawing zig-zags, a mish-mash of a fiery whoosh, an electricity zap and another whoosh during the appearance of "ЛеанМ", an ambient drone accompanied by another beeps from a cardiogram, a very loud explosion, a la the 1st Epic Music Video logo, when "ЛеанМ" reappears and the sound of a woman breathing.
Availability: Appeared at the beginning of the 2008 Russian film После жизни (Afterlife).
Editor's Note: The dark atmosphere and borderline jump-scare at the end have been known to rattle some viewers.
