Kinoconstanta

Logo (March 7, 2007-February 8, 2008)

Visuals: Over a brown background with moving dark yellow clouds is the shiny word "КИНОКОНСТАНТА" zooming out and rotating letter-by-letter. Under it are the three stylized letters "С" (arranged like a portal), also rotating. Two golden lines form, making the company name being sandwiched between them. The logo forms and becomes flat-shaded, and the text "продюсерская компания" appears below letter-by-letter as the background turns black and moving clouds disappear.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: A 3-note violin/harp fanfare.

Availability: Seen on productions from period, such as Кадетство (starting from the 2nd season) and Папины дочки (until the end of the 3rd season).

Costafilm

Logo (March 12, 2008-November 18, 2011)

Visuals: On a black background, an orange stick figure and a purple stick figure are flickering, zooming in and connecting. Later, they form a stylized orange-purple movie camera as the word "КОСТАФИЛЬМ" appears below.

Technique: 2D computer animation with practical effects.

Audio: A new-age synth pad accompanied by what sounds like a music box glissando.

Availability: Seen on the later seasons of Папины дочки up to season 18 (later, the production was transferred to Yellow, Black and White) and seasons of 6 kadrov up until season 7.
