Maski

Background
"Maski-Show" (or simply "Maski") is a comic troupe based in Odessa, Ukraine. As an artistical joint, they created their famous "Maski-Show" and also participated in creation of the "Lessons from Aunt Owl" (Уроки тётушки Совы) animated series. They didn't have an on-screen logo as an artistical joint until 1996.

(January 13, 1996-2010?)
Logo: On a black background, the stylised "MASKI" is being formed (with A being upside down and having a triangle in it). The background becomes blue and ripples with light beams are moving while "MASKI" is slowly rotating. "MASKI" finally comes to its position, and the background turns half-blue (with the sky moving) and half-black. "MASKI" settles in the middle the triangle in the "A" becomes red. A drawing with 7 people that have red noses appears on the blue half. "ТВОРЧЕСКОЕ ОБЪЕДИНЕНИЕ" appears below "MASKI".

FX/SFX: Early CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Laser-like sounds and weird noises are heard when "MASKI" is rotating. Then, a 4 note synth and bell melody plays.

Availability: Seen on Maski Show's episodes until early 2000s since "Maski On The Boat" (Маски на пароходе). Also seen on the "Lessons from Aunt Owl" DVDs distributed by Right Films Company.

Editor's Note: None.
