1st Logo (1990-2001)

Nicknames: "The Что? Где? Когда? Logo", "The Owl"

Logo: On a black background, a picture of an owl's head slides in from the bottom, followed by the crown sliding in from the top and onto an owl's head, then the golden laurel wreath wipes in from the right, surrounding owl's head. After few seconds, the logo flips to a live-action footage of a close-up of an owl, and the signature of Vladimir Voroshilov in gold wipes in below. The signature then fades out, and the owl's eye shines, followed by the shining words ""ИГРА"" in the retro font below.

Variant: Sometimes, the word "ФИРМА" fades in on the top-left corner at the same time as ""ИГРА"".

FX/SFX: The owl and the text. Everything is cheaply-made.

Music/Sounds: A weird-sounding creak/drumroll, a triumphant fanfare, followed by Hermann's aria "What is our life? A game!" from The Queen of Spades by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, which later became the opening theme for Что? Где? Когда?.

Music/Sounds Variant: Sometimes, the Hermann's aria is slightly different.

Availability: Rare. It was appeared in handful of shows, like Что? Где? Когда? (What? Where? When?), and Брейн-ринг(Brain-Ring, which has a Lithuanian counterpart, Protmušis (Mindfight)).

Editor's Note: TBA

2nd Logo (2001)

Nicknames: "The Что? Где? Когда? Logo II", "The Owl II", "Owl in the Circle"

Logo: On a black background, we see small words "телекомпания" at the top and bigger "ИГР А" at the center, with the circle containing a different live-action footage of an owl, lodging between letter Р and А.

FX/SFX: The owl.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Only appeared inЧто? Где? Когда?, proceeding the first logo.

Editor's Note: None. 3rd Logo (2002-)

Nickname: "The Rectangles"

Logo: On a white blurry background, we see transparent lines, two horizontal and one vertical, moving across. A rectangle outline flips in to the top left-corner, the word "ИГРА" in the Banco font then fades in inside of the rectangle, followed by another, but shorter, rectangle outline flipping in into the opposite spot until the overlapping area is square-shaped and more transparent lines appear, followed by "ТВ" in the same font fading in inside, and the overlapping area becomes textured with liquid metal. The lines fade out after the logo is almost finished, the words "продюсерский центр" blur in afterwards.

Variant: Around 2013, the logo is enhanced: the background is always white, extra lines don't appear, the lines move away after forming, the overlapping area is smoke-textured, and "ПРОДЮСЕРСКИЙ ЦЕНТР" is in all caps and fade in, zooming slowly.

FX/SFX: The flipping. Simple, but effective. The 2013 variant is worse, due to loss of detailed animations.

Music/Sounds: Two reversed cymbal crashes in sync with the animation.

Availability: Same as the first, but more common, and also appeared in Культурная революция (Cultural Revolution) andМы и наука. Наука и мы. (Us and Science. Science and Us.).

Editor's Note: None.
