Mult.ru
Grig2007
Background
Mult.ru was initially created by Oleg Kuvaev as a website that posted the Masyanya cartoons. In January 2002, Oleg Kuvaev opens a studio of the same name together with Natalia Kruse. The studio also worked on two other popular animated webseries: Shop Bo (Магазинчик Бо) and Jerzy and Petruchio (Ежи и Петруччо). In 2006, the studio dissolved due to a conflict in the team, and Mult.ru became a vanity card of Oleg Kuvaev again. After the conflict, Kuvaev moved to Israel, where he still lives today.
1st logo (October 22, 2001- )
Logo: On a white background, an orange splat with 2 eyes looking down is placed. Below the eyes there is the "www.mult.ru" URL address, and below the splat, we see "Олег Куваев" (Russian name of the owner) and/or ЕЩЁ РАЗ ("Play again", used in the Flash-era cartoons).
Variants:
- On YouTube prints of some of the early Masyanya episodes, the logo spins for a while until it stops.
- There is also a variant for Shop Bo, where it doesn't have eyes, and has "СТУДИЯ" and "МУЛЬТ.РУ" instead of the URL.
- There is a variant used on the "Новогодний обход" episode of Masyanya: the splat is placed on a dark-gray background and doesn't have eyes. Below the splat and Oleg Kuvaev's name, the "С НОВЫМ ГОДОМ!!!" (HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!) text is placed.
- A variant was used on the YouTube prints of the Таблетки на Блюхера episode of Masyanya: Blucher the Rabbit costume's head (the costume itself is a part of the episode) falls down to the right side of the logo.
Music/Sounds: None, or the ending theme. On the Masyanya early episodes' YouTube prints, we hear a 2 note triumphant fanfare.
FX/SFX: None, or spinning.
Availability: Seen on Masyanya and Shop Bo.
