1st logo (December 29, 2004-August 17, 2014)

The early version of the logo

Nicknames: "Boring Planet", "Creepy Eye"

Logo: We see the word coming from beyond the planet, like the Universal logo, but the action is faster and the objects are silver. The planet slowly zooms out, while the word ПАРАДИЗ continues to swirl around. Suddenly the borders appear around the planet making it looks like an eye. Four more borders then appear in each side. Then "ПАРАДИЗ" in another font compresses and places itself below the logo.

Variant: The earlier version of the logo looked blander: the starfield looks blander and the words are "ПЦП" and "ПАРАДИЗ".

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Ominous humming sounds.

Availability: Seen on their film output and their TV programs of the time. It was also used as a de-facto home entertainment logo used on their DVDs and Blu-rays. The early version was only seen on Слушатель (The Listener) (2004).

Editor's Note: None.

2nd logo (January 1, 2016-February 22, 2018)

Logo: On a black background with a white spotlight, we see the same eye logo as below, but with "ПАРАДИЗ" in a different font. The logo slowly zooms in.

Variant: There is a still variant which has just the still logo without a spotlight.

FX/SFX: The logo zooming in.

Music/Sounds: A whoosh with a thud.

Availability: Only seen on "Богатырша" (2016). The still version is seen on "Вся наша надежда" (All Our Hope) (2018).

Editor's Note: None.

3rd logo (December 7, 2019; April 15, 2021)
