Visuals: At a dark scenery, a rectangle stone plate is being revealed by light. "ДИРЕКЦИЯ" fades in front of the plate much close to the screen whilst backing out towards the plate. a teal gradient colored angled-edge banner fades behind said word as both of them 'slam' onto the plate in impact, engraving the banner. This is followed by "КИНО" fading in shortly after the impact, in which also 'slams' onto the plate in impact, engraving said word. There appears to be small sights of light spreading out after the impact of the first two elements. The plate slowly shifts slightly downwards.

Variant: On Подсадной, "представляет" iris-fades in quickly spread out from the beginning before reorganizing together after the impact. It also shifts slightly upwards.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A rising whoosh with a 'rusty' clang. Sometimes, it's silent, or either the opening theme.

Availability: So far appeared on Каникулы строгого режима, Подсадной, Опережая выстрел and Подземный переход.

3rd Logo (Лето волков custom variant) (May 9, 2011)

Visuals: At a dark scenery, it starts on a wall of horizontal oak logs with a small oak rectangle border with "ДИРЕКЦИЯ КИНО" painted on the glass panel with two additional stars between the 2nd row of text and a small shatter on the lower-right portion, on a rainy day. It is all lightened up by a swinging pendant light. The screen slowly shifts closer to the window as a dark, contrast grayscale image of a small hill and forest fades behind the window seconds later.

Technique: CGI.

Visuals: On a black background is a gold circle made out of a multitude small gold squares. In front of the circle is a kingfisher made out of a mosaic pattern with a dark gray outline surrounding it. Below said elements is the banner and the company's name, one separated to be in front of the banner and one underneath said shape, all colored in blue. There is a ball of light spiralizing around the elements. The kingfisher mosaic pattern and the banners and texts darken out with the gold circle glowing as the ball of light goes over it. The kingfisher mosaic pattern then turns into IRL shape as it shakes itself and flaps it's wings off the circle. The remaining elements darken.

Variants:

• On Исключение из правил, the logo is engraved in a tan sketchbook on the upper-right portion.
• On Третья мировая, the logo is slightly more brightened and as the logo ends, the gold circle gets surrounded by flames, transitioning to the series' opening.
• On Viking, the logo is carved from wood.
• On Союз Спасения. Время гнева, the logo in white is revealed by black smoke.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The kingfisher's chirps and it's flaps.

Availability: Appeared on Безопасность, Уходящая натура and some others mentioned above.
