Visuals: On a black background, a square flashes and reveals itself to be a rainbow-colored square with a half-outlined and half-filled tree inside. "СТВ" and "STW" appear on the right and on the left side of the logo respectively. Two white lines appear below.
Variants:
- On Операция "С новым годом!", the logo is still and is on the same screen as the TV6 Moscow logo.
- On some prints of Операция "С новым годом!", the logo looks slightly different.
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: On Время печали ещё не пришло, a xylophone sounder is heard. On Операция "С новым годом!", the opening theme of the movie.

Visuals: On a black background, there is a statue of a girl sitting and sewing (the statue is actually a decoration called "The Little Embroiderer"/"Маленькая вышивальщица"). The statue slowly rotates. "КИНОКОМПАНИЯ" and "FILM COMPANY" appear at the top (shaped like a circle) and "СТВ" appears on the bottom. A blue dot appears and glows between "КИНОКОМПАНИЯ" and "FILM COMPANY". The dot disappears after a while.
Variant: On Chudnaya dolina (2004) and Okolofutbola (2013), the logo is cut to the point when the logo is already formed, and when the dot appears. The statue also has a yellowish tint, making it look like a gold statue.
Technique: Live-action model work.
Audio: A dramatic orchestral piece, which is actually an excerpt of "Romance" from the "Lieutenant Kijé" suite by Sergei Prokofiev.
Audio Variant: On Chudnaya dolina, none.
Availability: Seen on the company's productions starting with Brother (1997). Most of the recent CTB Film Company's productions since 2014 use an in-credit mention instead. Despite the company currently having a different print logo, this logo still appears from time to time on some of their recent productions including Dialogs (Диалоги), Fantastic Journey to Oz, Fantastic Return to Oz, The Barkers in the Country (Барбоскины на даче) and The Barkers Team (Барбоскины Team).
