Logo (December 13, 2010-)

Visuals: On a black background, a crudely-drawn orange propeller spins and stops. When it stops, the letters "АЭР" and "ПЛАН" appear, making the propeller's center look like the "O" letter and creating "АЭРOПЛАН". A ring of the white, spaced-out text "ПРОДЮСЕРСКАЯ КОМПАНИЯ" appears letter-by-letter, surrounding a propeller.

Variants:

On the trailer for the canceled The Fixies prototype film (2008), a still English logo is placed on a white background. A ring of the text also says "aeroplane productions".
Starting in 2021, the words "ПРОДЮСЕРСКАЯ КОМПАНИЯ" are replaced with "студия анимации".

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Propeller buzzing.

Availability: It was originally debuted as a print logo in 2008, however, it didn't receive an animated version until 2010. Seen on The Fixies and both of the movies based on the franchise.
