It was a New Year eve. We already don't remember who came up with the idea of making a New Year's show, but we definitely remember that the idea of a golden pinecone came from Alexander Goriyk, a member of our screen graphics team. 

We felt excited about it and started to bring it to life. Here is what we have got at final!

Yes we did small opener for that show. In really short terms! 

Like a week or so.

And of course the countdown to New Year 2017
