In 2009, the company started distributing titles from Paramount Pictures in Russia, which lasted until 2022.

1st Logo (2003-2011)


Visuals: The screen zooms through a sky full of cumulus clouds, with a mountain chain far away. When the camera flies into the cloud, the screen fades to another view, where the giant silver zeppelin is flying. The name "cENTRAL PARTNERSHIp" wipes itself aligned to the board of zeppelin with sparkles. The C and P look more bigger and stylized in comparison to the other letters. While the transport moves away, two silver letters CP (in the corporate futuristic font) zoom out, which reveals that everything is actually a reflection of CP, and reveal a print version of the logo, with an image of the zeppelin above the clouds, the words "CENTRAL" and "PARTNERSHIP" above, and the CP letters below.

Variants:

  • The name is seen in either Russian or English.
  • In Wolfhound, the skies are stormy and the flying zeppelin is crossed by a lightning bolts. Then it flows away to the right and the company name remains in the sky with the lightnings.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A majestic fanfare with a crystal sound of wiping letters.

Availability: Can be seen in every release by CP. Many of them can be found on the worldwide market, especially Europe.

2nd Logo (2011-)


Visuals: The screen zooms through a night sky, and the huge concentric city is seen below. A zeppelin flies towards the camera, lights on the lounge, and passes by. The clouds appears in the action. They clear off and we switch to the mountain chain with cumulus clouds and bright day, with an enhanced white zeppelin. Again, it quickly passes away, and the print version appears. It shows the stylized white zeppelin with the name written in Russian (or rarely, in English).

Variant: On Robo, the logo is still.

Technique: CGI done by N3 Design.

Audio: An updated theme adapted from the previous logo, enhanced with drums and bells.

Availability: Introduced in late 2011, it was seen on TV shows, films and newer DVD's and Blu-rays released by CP in Russia, but now it's no longer used as a home video brand.
