'''Logo:''' On an off-white background, we see a thick black line wipe onto the screen from the left side, going right. It begins vibrating horizontally as it continues moving, and then a gray ball comes from off-screen left and begins bouncing along it at a fast pace. It then falls off as the line stops moving. Then we cut to a large close-up of the ball from a bird's eye view as it falls down into the center and disappears. The black outline of a circle shoots out from the center, immediately followed by a entirely black circle that fills the screen, creating a black background, and then a creepy-looking stone mask with a mean-looking expression on its face and a three-pawed toad sitting on top of it fades in. Then "{{Font|Times|{{Font color|#CC7E31|'''ВИD'''}}}}" fades in and shines underneath in large bronze letters, which is Russian for "VID", although it uses a Latin "{{Font|Times|{{Font color|#CC7E31|'''D'''}}}}" rather than a Cyrillic "Д". It kind of looks like "{{Font|Times|{{Font color|#CC7E31|'''BND'''}}}}". | '''Logo:''' On an off-white background, we see a thick black line wipe onto the screen from the left side, going right.

'''Availability:''' Rare. It's seen before TV programs produced by VID in Russia such as ''Поле Чудес'' (''Field of Wonders'') and ''Ищу тебя!/Жди Меня'' (''Looking for You!/Wait for Me'') from 1990 to 2000. It was also seen on episodes of the show L-Club. Since архив записей and VIDgital's YouTube channel has started uploading episodes of these TV programs, it became easy to find it. | '''Availability:''' Rare.

'''Editor's Note:''' The logo is possibly the most | '''Editor's Note:''' The logo is possibly the most infamous Russian logo of all time, and has both been feared (and memed) in the logo community due to the extremely creepy mask, zooming circles, and the 5-note fanfare, and is declared as one of the scariest logos ever made, and it even started a screamer with the mask called "VID of Doom". The April Fools variant's mocking face is also seen under this light, as well as its several other variants, but they're slightly tamer. However, it has developed a cult following, especially in Russia. | ||
