"'''V'''zglyad '''i''' '''D'''rugiye" (translation: Outlook and Others) was founded in 1987 by co-founders of the ''Vzglyad'' (''Glance'') TV program: Vlad Listyev, Alexander Lyubimov, Andrey Razbash, and others. Listyev wanted to use a strange symbol as the company's symbol, and his wife offered to try the death mask of Taoist philosopher Guo Xiang with a three-footed toad on its head in the Museum of Eastern Culture. When the museum forbade using it as a logo, Listyev modified it with CGI (and led to some...unique results). Tragedy struck in March 1995 when, not long after becoming head of the ORT network (now Channel One), Listyev was mysteriously shot dead in his apartment. To this day, the murderers have never been found or identified. For a whole day, ORT and many other Russian channels went off the air and only displayed a photo of him with the text "Vladislav Listyev has been killed". In October 2017, in order to start shifting from television to digital media, VID rebranded itself to VIDgital (ВИDgital) and debuted a completely new logo. | "'''V'''zglyad '''i''' '''D'''rugiye" (translation: Outlook and Others) was founded in 1987 by co-founders of the ''Vzglyad'' (''Glance'') TV program: Vlad Listyev, Alexander Lyubimov, Andrey Razbash, and others.
