Odesa Film Studio

Background
Odessa Filmstudio (Odesskaya Kinostudija) is one of the oldest Soviet film studios. It was founded by M.Grossman as Kino-Atelier Mirograph in 1907 and got current name in 1938. It was evacuated during WWI and returned to work only in 1954. The studio remains a major production unit in Ukraine and one of two remaining film development services (the others being Dovzhenko Studio and now-demised Yalta Studio). Their logo showing the copper ship has been one of the best known trademarks in USSR.

1st (known) Logo (1950s-1960s)
Logo: This is nothing more than a text disclaimer, which can be arranged in various positions, and literally reads this: "Odessa Filmstudio of Artistic Films ".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: An opening theme.

Availability: Seen on Soviet films of the era.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1969 -)
Nickname: "The Yacht"

Logo: On a blue (or other sea-color) background, we see a copper yacht and the two curved words ОДЕССКАЯ and КИНОСТУДИЯ around the vessel. The Ukraine version is mostly the same but with the words ОДЕСЬКА and КІНОСТУДІЯ around the vessel in Ukrainian.

FX/SFX: Just the text fading in.

Variants: On early films, the yacht would zoom in, followed by the text fading in.

Music/Sounds: Two bell tolls from the yacht were heard.

Availability: Common.

Editor's Note: It's a popular logo among Ukranians.

3rd Logo (2000s)
Nicknames: "The Yacht II", "CGI Yacht"

Logo: On a black background, two beams of light merge, flashing into a gradient blue background with a CGI version of the yacht as the company name in its usual position fades in. The flags of the yacht wave.

FX/SFX: 2D and CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: May be seen on newer films.

Editor's Note: A nice re-imagining of the classic yacht logo.
