Visuals: The original logo features the deeply rounded blue rectangle with the letters ТВ (TV) and three dots to the right. The logo is 3D and shiny. But it's never used clearly at the vignettes. It is over 11 various modifications of hands showing this logo to us. Below the picture, there are words: НАСТОЯЩИЙ МИСТИЧЕСКИЙ (The Real Mystical).

Audio: A special whistling tune with some noise depending on situation, followed by the male announcer says: ТВ3 - Настоящий Мистический (TV3 - The Real Mystical). On a DVD releases, he also adds PRESENTS after this.

Availability: Appeared on TV3 Channel premises. The Deadman logo was spotted on a documentary DVD. In later times, the idents were changed to look longer and more realistic (for example, the harpy not only catched the logo, but first revealed itself from stone statue and jumped he roof, etc.). It's no more current since 1st October 2009.
