1st Logo (April 20, 1995, December 31, 1996)
Logo: 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.

FX/SFX: The square flashing, the lines appearing. On Операция "С новым годом!", none.

Music/Sounds: On Время печали ещё не пришло, a xylophone sounder is heard. On Операция "С новым годом!", the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Only seen on Время печали ещё не пришло and Операция "С новым годом!".

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (May 17, 1997-December 24, 2020)
Logo: On a black background, we see 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.

FX/SFX: The statue rotating, the words appearing, the dot glowing.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic orchestral piece, which is actually an excerpt of "Romance" from the "Lieutenant Kijé" suite by Sergei Prokofiev.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Chudnaya dolina, none.

Availability: Seen on their movies of the period starting with Brother (1997). Most of the recent CTB Film Company's productions since 2014 use an in-credit mention instead, however, the logo appeared on Dialogs (Диалоги) (2014), Fantastic Journey to Oz (2017), Fantastic Return to Oz (2019) and Barboskins in the Country (Барбоскины на даче) (2020).
