1st Logo (September 16, 2013-April 24, 2014)

Visuals: Set in 2.35:1 ratio, the sequence starts with a shot of the city at evening, with a sunrise being shown near the right. As the shot starts to slide to the left, the glassy text "НЕБО" appears via a fading wipe from the left at the middle near the top of the screen, reflecting the footage. The screen then zooms out to reveal that the footage along with the text are both contained within a horizontal bar on a black background, with the tall white text "КИНОКОМПАНИЯ" being shown underneath the underline below the bar. As this happens, the sunrise continues to shine through a bar, before fading out when the footage inside a bar settled still, gaining some sort of a grainy texture, as the text "НЕБО" became flat-shaded with a black color.

Technique: CGI animation mixed with a live-action photograph.

Audio: A beautiful-sounding bamboo flute/harp tune ending with a ding.

Availability: Appeared on the first two seasons of Последний из Магикян.

2nd Logo (November 5, 2014-)

Visuals: At a bright sunrise above clouds with a bright ball of light around the left-most, there's a tall giraffe from the left that walks off, which is shortly accompanied by another giraffe revealing itself, walking off. In the middle of the screen, four letters of the glassy "небо" in a tall, compressed font, reveal themselves by panning into view, which is followed by "кинокомпания" underneath it.

Variants:

  • On the third season of Последний из Магикян and Пушкин, the background is a plain gold-themed color, with rays of light casting down above, with one of the giraffes from the distance shifted slightly away from the left and the clouds are different. The sets of text appear by simply fading in, with "кинокомпания" being set in a different font.
  • On some few certain movies and series such as Закрытый уровень, most of the sunrise and clouds are tinted teal with the ball of light and the two giraffes omitted. The sets of text remain intact, but in a different reflective style.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: An echoed, faint ding with three piano notes, a glimmering descender, ending with a 9-note piano tune and a faint cymbal sounder.

Audio Variants:

  • On said certain movies and series (that being Закрытый уровень), the opening theme is used.
  • The variant with a plain gold-themed background simply has the piano theme and cymbal sample over airy sounds.

Availability: Debuted on the TV series Сын за отца and appeared frequently on other series and movies, such as later seasons of the aforementioned Последний из Магикян, Закрытый уровень and Без границ.
