===Background===
NTV (Cyrillic: НТВ) is a television channel from Russia launched in 1993. Owned by Media Most at first, it was forcibly taken over by Gazprom Media in 2001, resulting in part of the team breaking away, and became the pro-Kremlin TV channel.

'''Visuals:''' It's currently unknown what the beginning of the ident is, but a low-quality partial recording shows a black background with three fireworks bursts, where the outlined letters "НТВ" with "Т" on the near-top, tilted upwards to the 90 degrees, with the text "ПРЕМЬЕРА КАНАЛА!" ("CHANNEL PREMIERE!") (in Betina font) with the color cycling above the "Т", moves from the bottom to the center and faces the viewer while the globe with only green landmasses zooms in between the letters "Н" and "В" and "ПРЕМЬЕРА КАНАЛА!" fades out, forming the corporate logo.

=="Presents" Logos==

===1st Logo (1994-1995)===

[[File:NTV (1994).png|center]]
'''Nicknames:''' "NTV Sketch", "NTV and Green Ball II"

'''Logo:''' On a white background, a white line comes out from the bottom and starts drawing part of the outline from the "НТВ" logo from before, while the green ball drops down into the bottom of the T. The outline then zooms in and spins, and when it slows down, it turns into a rolling filmstrip which shows the HTB logo in each of the frames. The logo gets faster again on spinning as it turns into the finished white NTV logo when the background wipes to black. After the logo places, "представляет" appears letter-by-letter near the top of the text, and the "T" of the logo gets white. The NTV and Russian text fade out, leaving the green ball.

'''FX/SFX:''' A neat combination of 2D and 3D effects.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A powerful fanfare with electronic drums, with ascending bells when the "представляет" appears.

'''Availability:''' Probably extinct on Russian TV. Was used on early NTV original productions.

'''Editor's Note:''' None.

'''Nicknames:''' "NTV in the Night Sky", "NTV and Green Ball III"

'''Logo:''' We see a city at night. We zoom into the night sky and find the emerging blue NTV logo with the green ball, which is now done is a more modern style. The logo later turns white as the background fades into a white/black gradient, and moves down. "теле" moves in near the top and black lines wipe in below it, placing behind the logo. Meanwhile, a black box grows in behind the "теле", another Russian word appears below it, and the yellow "представляет" also appears, but below. Both of these words make their appearance letter-by-letter.

[[File:NTV (1998).png|320px|center]]

'''FX/SFX:''' Really good animation for the era.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A 2-note synth bass throughout the entire logo, accompanied by a strange synth hum with a whoosh, a dramatic 4-note new-age synth theme, a percussion, another whoosh, and finally rising string note. It's a stock piece called "Digital Drums", composed by Joseph Saba and Stewart Winter, off the VideoHelper album "VH001: Sports & Percussion".
