1st Logo (1942-1951)
Nickname: "Columbia Pictures's Yakutsk Cousin", "Early Yakutsk Lady", "Yakutsk Torch Lady"

Logo: We see a lady holding a light torch with a bright light shining & glowing (a la Columbia). The drape over her shoulder became less-obiviously an Yakutsk flag and a drape hanging down right side. "АРИНА-ФИЛЬМ" fades in below the lady in "arched" chiseled font (a la Columbia logo).

Trivia: The lady in this logo is Nagirny Mechislav Panasovych.

FX/SFX: The torch shining.

Music/Sounds: A trumpet fanfare or the opening theme of the film.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on some Asian Russian films produced by the company. The last film to use the logo are aforementioned above.

Editor's Note: If Columbia's ripoff wasn't enough, it might be compared to IFD Films & Arts Limited logo of that time.

2nd Logo (1951-1997)
Nickname: "Yakutsk Torch Lady II"

Logo: Same as the 1st logo, but the "АРИНА-ФИЛЬМ" are not arched, making it looks originally stacked in one line, also fades in below the lady. Also, the cloud background has been added to the logo.
