Background

Pilot is a legendary Moscow-based animation studio founded in 1988. It was the first private studio in the former USSR and became widely known for its series (especially famous Pilot Brothers - Братья Пилоты) even in foreign countries. In 2010 the studio was forced to reduce its work because of the lack of money.

1st logo (1995-1996; September 22, 1997; December 2, 1998)

Logo: A line appears. Later, the script "PiLOT" and "MOSCOW ANIMATION STUDIO" appear in the "turning/refracting prism"/"shadow line" style (a la Amblin Entertainment).

FX/SFX: The effect mentioned above.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extinct. Only seen on some shorts of the period and first 2 Pilots Brothers games.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd logo (2002-)

Logo: The script "PiLOT" (which is same as in the first logo) is drawn with the top-right stem of the T extended. The studio's tagline flips in one-by-one below, saying "MOSCOW ANIMATION STUDIO", "BIG ANIMATION STUDIO" or "The animation studio of Aleksandr Tatarsky" (all in Russian). On earlier production, the line would appear below and the name was written in English and in the serif font.

Variants:

In late years, the logo is still and has a different byline in the memory of Aleksandr Tatarsky, the founder and leader of the studio.
On "To South From North" (К югу от севера), the studio tagline is written in English ("MOSCOW ANIMATION STUDIO").

FX/SFX: The drawing.

Music/Sounds: A drum roll.

Availability: Current. Appeared on numerous animations produced by the company (the older animated shorts' current prints sometimes have this logo at the beginning) since Hush (2002). Also seen on "Поросёнок" (Piglet) series, as still used, because it was the legendary exit from lack of money.

Editor's Note: None.
