3rd Logo (2001-2006)


Logo: A green/blue burst of light appears from a black background, then shrinks and reveals a diagonal shape. Two curved 3D lines then draw in, while a glassy blue sphere forms in-between and the green shape is revealed to be the text "ТВ ПМР". An orange/green gradient wipes behind the logo, and the Cyrillic text "ТЕЛЕВИАЕННЕ ПРНАНЕСТОВЬЯ" types in above it, along with "ВЗГЛЯД В XXI ВЕК" below.
