It was founded in 1994.1st logo(1995-1999?)<iframe frameborder="0" height="255" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/1242767e6a9abfb3bdbe4a8e0d9127f701f08cfe" width="338"></iframe>Logo: On a sky background, a comet flies. Then it flies until a gray planet appears. The company name appears letter by letter. The comet then explodes into a blue splat-like creature with eyes. It stays on screen until the exclamation mark appears. Then splat-like creature's bounce and winks. The word "ТЕЛЕКОМПАНИЯ" written in Micra font appears above.Variant: On some programs, the last shot of the logo is used as a still ident.FX/SFX:Primitive 3D animation.Music/Sounds: A comet sound with a happy fanfare, followed by two boings, a zooming-like sound, and a shining sound.Availablity: Very rare, as seen on programs from that time, like the 2nd season ofDendy: The New Reality, that's very hard to find.Editor's Note:While to a much lesser extent than, say, VID mask, the star-splat creature was found unsettling by some. Still, it's a fitting enough logo for a company that mostly produced children shows.2nd logo(1997?-2002)<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="167" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/4d13af45826075de5f1f43cec0b6a7754b28f714" width="220"></iframe>Logo: On a night background, we see the Earth rotating. Then a comet flies around the planet, and flashes causing the night background to change to the morning sky. The splat-like creature from previous logo appears. Then the words appear with same effect as before, but the creature is not zooming in and out. Instead, the words do that thing. Then the splat-like creature winks. The words "ТЕЛЕКОМПАНИЯ" appear at the top with a lighting effect.FX/SFX: Better 3D animation, all improvement over previous logo.Music/Sounds: Same as before.Availablity: Again, very rare.
