*'''October 25, 1990-1995:''' 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. Two closely-spaced black rings then shoot out from the center of the screen, which is immediately followed by a black circle that fills the screen to create a black background. Then, a stone mask, which is of Chinese Taoist philosopher Guo Xiang and a three-pawed toad sitting on top of his head, fades in. Finally, "{{Font|Times|{{color | *'''October 25, 1990-1995:''' On an off-white background, we see a thick black line wipe onto the screen from the left side, going right.

The variant consisted only of the mask and the company name fading in and the company name shining.

** Another version of the presentation variant has the 5-note fanfare, which soon gets cut off by Rasbash saying "представляет" when the "{{Font|Times|{{color||#CC7E31|'''ВИD'''}}}}" appears.

* From 1999 to 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.

* 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. | * 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.

* 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!" ("ВИД, ВИД. ничего не видно по вашему виду!") and then smiles as we hear the opening theme. At the end of the show, Ugolnikov says, "VID, VID. ''Oba-na'' is our dominant companion." (ВИД, ВИД. Оба на вам сейчас покажу по вашему виду). and smiles again (with a chuckle). | * 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.

* There is a variant from 1993 in ''Взгляд'' (''The Glance''), where the name of the show in the condensed serif font is 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 80-85% larger) and wordmark appear above the numbers when they go into their position. | * There is a variant from 1993 in ''Взгляд'' (''The Glance''), where the name of the show in the condensed serif font is spelled out with the sound of a typewriter in the background.

The plasticine background and the wordmark rises out until it reaches the mask, revealing the black background with the same wordmark as the 1st logo, and the plasticine mask becomes gray and high-contrast, and we finally zoom on the rectangle, while the mask becomes normal.
