===Background===
'''Mosfilm''' ('''Мосфильм''') is a film studio, which is often described as the largest and oldest in Russia and in Europe. Its output includes most of the more widely acclaimed Soviet films. The company was founded in 1920 on the base of two nationalized pre-revolution film studios and gained the current name in 1935. The logo was introduced in 1946.

*A <u>later version</u>, starting in 2001-2002, had the logo remade in CGI, with statue being more metallic looking, the sky more realistically, and the text being pitch-black but then shines brightly at the end.
*Films shot in a <u>letterbox format</u> have the logo zoomed out dramatically, showing more of the Kremlin's wall on the right, and a massive empty space on the left. The Spasskaya Tower's pinpoint also glows red in this version.
*A variant exists where the <u>print version of the logo</u> is displayed. Essentially, it is a stylized version of the standard logo with the Kremlin and Spasskaya Tower present and the text is 3D. ▼
**An <u>ultra-rare print logo</u> is similar to the aforementioned variant but is more crudely drawn and there is a white spotlight behind everything, leaving the Kremlin and Spasskaya Towers as silhouettes. ▼
**Another <u>rare print variant</u> has the symbol simply consist of a silhouette of the "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" model. ▼
*On <u>''Мы, русский народ''</u>, a different position of the layout is shown with the model facing the left and the text on the bottom left revealing itself from the left. Additionally, the Kremlin is missing.
*A similar variant of the top one was seen on <u>''The Mysterious Monk''</u> where the model is facing normally except the background consists of a sunset-like background and the text is in a serif-like font and within the ground.
*On <u>''Az élet muzsikája - Kálmán Imre''</u>, the logo is next to the Mafilm logo with the text underneath Mosfilm's logo reading
<center>Film Studio<br>"Mosfilm" USSR<br>Creative association<br>of comedy<br>and musical films</center>
*On the <u>Russian release of ''Eternal Comrades''</u>, a Soviet-North Korean film co-produced with [[Korean Film Studio (North Korea)|Korean Film]], a special variant was created. It has a black background with the Mosfilm logo still on the top left, and the Korean Film logo still (albeit mirrored) on the bottom right. The North Korean release of the film had a completely different variant (see the Korean Film page for more details).
*On <u>''Bagrationi''</u>, the logo is to the right of the Georgia Film Studio logo with no text. Underneath both logos read "Co-production of film studios GEORGIA-FILM and MOSFILM". Mosfilm is labeled as the "First" creative association whereas Georgia Film is second.
*On <u>''To Kill a Dragon''</u>, the logo is paired with the Bavaria Film logo. With the text "Co-production" above both logos, Mosfilm's text simply reads "Mosfilm (USSR)".
'''Audio:''' None.
'''Availability:''' canCan be seen on most of the Mosfilm movies of the period starting with ''One Life'' (Жизнь одна).
===4th Logo (June 2, 2013- )===
