 '''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'''}}}}".

 ** Another version of the presentation variant has the 5-note fanfare, which soon gets cut off by Razbash saying "представляет" when the "{{Font|Times|{{Font color|#CC7E31|'''ВИD'''}}}}" appears. Sometimes the 5 note fanfare played then the voice play so that when the mask fade out and представляет fade in the voiceover starts.
 * There is a variant before ''Один на один'' (''One on One'') where the word "'''представляет'''" is written under the text "'''ВИD'''". Besides it has no sound.
-* In 1999-2001, a special Christmas variant was used that featured the mask fading in and slowly zooming in. As it zooms, it slowly grows a beard and Santa hat complete with a happy grin. Below the mask, it reads "{{Font|Times|{{Font color|#FFD000|'''C новым годом!'''}}}}" ("S novym godom!", meaning "Happy new year!") in the slab-serif font, and"{{Font|Times|{{Font color|#FFD000|'''год'''}}}}" changes to "{{Font|Times|ВИD}}" in the corporate font. The music is a menacing chord fading from the closing theme.

The music is a menacing chord fading from the closing theme.
 * From 1997 to 2000, another Christmas-themed variant of the presentation variant was also used, with snow falling around the mask and company name. Also use on closing.
 * In 1993-1997 before ''L-club'', the VID mask would morph into the face of Leonid Yarmolnik (the host of the show) and open its eyes, jiggling its eyebrows in the process. After it does this, it kind of looks like it is staring at you, looking tired.
 * At the end of a 1994 ''L-club'' episode on April Fools Day (this was reportedly done as a joke), when the text appears, the face on the VID mask morphs into a different face with creepy wide eyes and his tongue sticking out (it kind of looks the standard ''L-Club'' variant but except for the tongue sticking out), as if to mock or taunt at the viewer. This variant sometimes appeared at the end of other ''L-club'' episodes as well, including the one from 18 June on the same year. Also, the variant stays there for 12 seconds before finally cutting to black.
-* A spoof of the logo was seen on ''Оба-на!'' beginning with a man from the show superimposed over the ball-and-stick segment (either flashing or reduced animation), panicking and freaking out over it, and then sliding down as the ball falls off the line. It then proceeds normally, until a few seconds after the mask is seen, it then fades into a gray-scale version of the face of Russian writer/comedian Igor Ugolnikov, whom says in an electronically-distorted voice in Russian, "VID, VID. Nothing is viewed from your view!" and then smiles as we hear the opening theme. At the end of the show, the short play where the mask turn to Igor Ugolnikov and he say "VID, VID. Oba-na is our dominant companion." and he smile.

 * Before ''Otdyhay!'' in 1992-1994, the standard variant plays out as normal, but the "{{Font|Times|{{Font color|#CC7E31|'''ВИD'''}}}}" wordmark fades in with the mask (which is in the high-contrast monochrome tone used for the 8th logo, but colored gold) and the mask says in a high-pitched voice "Hey! Relax, though!" before smiling. Everything, except for ball-and-stick segment, is animated with computer graphics.
-* There is a variant from 1993 in ''Взгляд'' (''The Glance''), where there is the name of the show in the condensed serif font being spelled out with the sound of a typewriter in the background. After a pause, the 5-note fanfare plays while VID's telephone and fax numbers and the words "Вы смотрите" zoom out and the mask, albeit resized to the 80-85% of it, and wordmark appear above the numbers when they position.

 * There is a variant where the "{{Font|Times|ВИD}}" text is in a different font.
 * There is also a variant introduced around 2001 in which the "ВИD" text flips vertically and shines instead of simply appearing. Also, the text shines as a whole instead of a "glow line" moving down the text.
 * On the 1995 ''Pole Chudes'' video game for the ZX Spectrum, there is an 8-bit rendering of the logo with "{{Font|Times|{{Font color|#CC7E31|'''ВИD'''}}}}" in its normal font, made up of several white lines and a yellow line bouncing up and down rapidly inside the text before eventually stopping in a horizontal position.
-* On one video, a spoof of the logo have this short version the mask appear then ВИD appear and the a appear making it the name as ВИDa.
+* On one video, a short spoof of the logo has the mask appearing, followed by the "ВИD" text and a lowercase "a", with the end product reading "ВИDa".
 '''FX/SFX:''' The line forming, the ball bouncing, the circle zooming and background color change, and the mask and "{{Font|Times|{{Font color|#CC7E31|'''ВИD'''}}}}" fading in and shining.
 '''Music/Sounds:''' Starts out with an industrial whirring/jackhammer/film projector-like stock sound effect during the ball and line animation, and then when the black circle zooms in, a loud, dramatic 5-note fanfare, composed by Vladimir Ratskevich, is heard, ending with some ominous synth whirring as the text appears and shines.
-'''Availability:''' Rare. It's seen before TV programs produced by VID in Russia such as Vzglyad (Viewpoint), Oba-na!, Otdyhay, Ugadai Melodiyu, ''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.

 '''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.

 '''Nicknames:''' "The Shawl", "The Stone Mask Presentation"
-'''Logo:''' We see a black room with projectors and an off-white shawl with Jin Chan part exposed. A man (played by a unknown actor) comes to the shawl, greets everyone, saying "Я снимаю!" ("I'll take it off!"), and starts to take the shawl off. The VID mask is under it. When the shawl is removed, the man goes off screen and the removed shawl turns into the word "'''{{Font|Times|{{Font color|#CC7E31|ВИD}}}}'''". The projectors disappear and the name zooms in further.
