1st Logo (31 August 1997-1999)

Visuals: A strip made of small NTV logos moves vertically while at the left, light reveal the black and white Profit logo, and they both are taken into a box. Then the NTV line stops moving.

Variant: On The Circus Burned Down, the Clowns are Gone, the Lenfilm logo is next to Profit's. "GOSKINO RF" is seen underneath the latter.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A dramatic fanfare.

Availability: It was seen on the film Vor (Thief) made in 1997.

2nd Logo (2000-2001)

Visuals: Many blue rays start beaming from the surface, which then moves to reveal the shining bluish NTV logo with "Profit" attached below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Different bass and violin theme with a ten-note passage.

Availability: Seen on Приходи на меня посмотреть (Come See Me) and Ключи от смерти (Keys to Death).

3rd Logo (2001-)

Visuals: There is a blue film reel and several filmstrips moving until two of them pass horizontally and condense into single trembling filmstrip with the current PROFIT logo upon. Then it transforms into the print red and white version.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An epic fanfare with stock orchestral build-ups. It uses samples from Peter Siedlaczek's Orchestral Colours sample CD.

Availability: Can be seen on most current productions.
