Nickname: "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 words MGN and PARADISE continue 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 two words compresses in above and below. They vary depending on the variants.

Variants: There are at least three variants, with the words can be in Russian or English, glowing or relief. They also may vibrate after the moving. Main variants are:

• MGN and PARADISE are spinning around the planet, DIGITAL and ПАРАДИЗ appear in between the logo.
• ПАРАДИЗ spinning around the planet, MGN and PARADISE DIGITAL appear in between the logo. This version is newer and in better quality.
  

FX/SFX: The animation of the logo.

Music/Sounds: Ominous humming sounds.

Availability: Seen on DVD and Blu-ray releases around Russia.
