=== Background ===  
=== Background ===  
Founded in 1926 as the Vrijzinnig Protestantse Radio Omroep (Liberal Protestant Radio Broadcasting Corporation), the organization started broadcasting radio programs comissioned to Protestantism themes. By the 1960's, however, a new generation of program creators managed to get a statute modification, which resulted in the "flower power generation" getting the leadership of the company. VPRO started to get in charge of airing culturally revelant programs, documentaries and films, as they started airing through the public Dutch TV stations. Today, VPRO aims for a demographic oriented at highly creative and educated people.

'''Legacy:''' When the logos were discovered, they quickly became notorious. The animation is quite busy, bizarre, and nonsensical in most of the variants, and can be seen as unnecessary. In particular, the "Melting VPRO" variant was considered to be creepy by many.
