Favorit-Film

Background
Favorit-Film (Фaворит-Фильм) is a Russian company created in 2003 to produce television series. It has already made numerous well-known (in Russia) series, along with a pair of "big" films. In latest years, FF work in a venture with Central Partnership.

1st Logo (December 4-19, 2003)
Logo: A white horse is racing onto the hill top. Then it stops and rears, letting out a loud whinny. The sunlight at the background gathers to a pink hemisphere and the name "ФАВОРИТФИЛЬМ" zooms out in red. The text "ПРОДЮСЕРСКИЙ ЦЕНТР" ("PRODUCTION CENTER") fades in below in white.

FX/SFX: Animation of the horse and environment.

Music/Sounds: The shortened version of the 1998 Plastic Wax logo music accompanied by galloping sounds, followed by a trumpet and drum fanfare starting the rising harp, with the horse whinnying.

Availability: Only seen on Подари мне жизнь.

Editor's Note: Despite the blatant use of Plastic Wax's music (which could cause a few laughs), this one is actually a good logo.

2nd Logo (2004-2007)

Logo: Same as the previous logo, but the sunrise is different, the horse runs for a longer time, the word "ФИЛЬМ" is soft yellow.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo, but the Plastic Wax theme is uncut.

Availability: Not rare in Russia. Seen on many TV-series produced by the time. Can be seen in other countries as the company production is on sale there.

Editor's Note: See the last logo.

3rd Logo (January 3, 2008- )
Logo: A golden thread appears on the blue starfield. Then it rushes to the left, changing scenes, and creates a rearing horse outline, which then fills in gold and shines. The name with the hilltop also fades in below in a splash of light. The shine appears on the horse hoof.

Variants:
 * The upline "PRODUCTION BY" (in Russian) was made in white letters before 2009.
 * The still variant has the compressed upline made in the same font as the name.
 * There is a upline-less version used in the big movies.

FX/SFX: Great animation.

Music/Sounds: A different, somewhat gloomy orchestral fanfare. None for the still version.

Availability: Common; the early version was seen on Kapkan. The logo without upline was used on the full movie Looser. The still version with newer upline was seen in Wolf Messing, which was airing in the First Channel.
