===Background===
In 1991, I'''ren'''a Lesnevskaya and her son Dmitriy founded '''REN TV''', an independent production company. The first show, ''Irony of Fate, or Merry Christmas!'', was broadcasted on December 24, 1991. In 1996, Lesnevskaya bought a TV franchise and the company became a TV channel. In 2006, it was partially sold to German RTL Group, while other 70% are still owned by Russian industry holdings. Later that year, the name was changed to Cyrillic and finally, the "tv" was omitted in 2007. The channel was known as the last uncensored source of news, but this is no longer the case. All state channels in Russia are censored and controlled, meaning they are banned from showing news which could spoil any party's image; though this is not officially admitted.

Background

In 1991, Irena Lesnevskaya and her son Dmitriy founded REN TV, an independent production company. The first show, Irony of Fate, or Merry Christmas!, was broadcasted on December 24, 1991. In 1996, Lesnevskaya bought a TV franchise and the company became a TV channel. In 2006, it was partially sold to German RTL Group, while other 70% are still owned by Russian industry holdings. Later that year, the name was changed to Cyrillic and finally, the "tv" was omitted in 2007. The channel was known as the last uncensored source of news, but this is no longer the case. All state channels in Russia are censored and controlled, meaning they are banned from showing news which could spoil any party's image; though this is not officially admitted.

1st Logo (December 24, 1991-1992)


Visuals: On a rotating space background, two sky blue arcs with flashing pink/purple/lavender lines inside, and the planet Earth appear and spin counterclockwise. When they stop, the sky blue letters "tv", with flashing lines inside, appear and stand between arcs in the upper right part of forming circle. The sky blue word "REN", with same flashing lines as arches and "tv" inside, flies from top and zooms out to the logo. The whole logo then zooms out and the word "ПРЕДСТАВЛЯЕТ" flips upwards from bottom.

Technique: Analog computer animation.

Audio: An uplifting synth-truimphant fanfare with a drum/cymbal beat and a choir tune.

2nd Logo (1992-1998)


Visuals: On a cerulean smoke background, the 3D rough light blue REN tv logo appears from the right and moves to the center. When it stops, the spark appears and makes the logo look smoother, moving along the bottom arch and shining. As the letters "tv" shine, the spark disappears and reappears lower, moving parallel to bottom arc, wiping in the word "ПРЕДСТАВЛЯЕТ" and goes backwards. The logo then flashes, making a starfield background inside of the logo and the screen zooms through it, transitioning to the said starfield background, where the same REN-TV logo appears from the bottom flying in the background, and the screen fades to white.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: A calm, slow theme consisting of pipe organs, xylophones, choir, and a synth hit.

3rd Logo (1998-December 27, 2005)


Visuals: On a black background, there are blue/dark green/orange circular ripples. Three seconds later, the logo from before (but the font of its letters is set in a font resembling Arial Bold Italic) forms in the middle of the screen as an outline, and then fills itself with the blue color as it shines and disappears. After that, the word "ПРЕДСТАВЛЯЕТ" appears shining from left to right; then it shines and disappears after a few seconds.

Closing Variant: This variant has a smaller REN-TV logo, along with smaller ripples, appearing in the darkness in the same way as the opening logo. The ripples behind the logo appear only twice; when the logo is revealed and when the logo turns into a golden color with bright shades of blue. During all of this, a copyright stamp "© Телекомпания REN-TV [YEAR]" appears below.

The words "телевизионный канал", in white, appear by zooming out letter-by-letter to the near top-left hand corner when it's almost formed.

Variant: A still version exists.
