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.

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.


Idents

1st ID (October 10, 1993)

ID: On the black background with three fireworks bursts, "НТВ" in the serif font with "Т" on the near-top, tilted upwards to the 90 degrees, with "ПРЕМЬЕРА КАНАЛА!" in the handwritten font with the color cycling above the "T", 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.

Technique: A mix of CGI and 2D animations.

Music/Sounds: The patriotic fanfare.

Availability: Extinct. Was only seen while the channel began broadcasting for the first time.



"Presents" Logos

1st Logo (1994-1995)

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.

Technique: 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.

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.

Technique: The logo emerging from the city video, and everything else.

Availability: Probably extinct on national TV.
