VID: Difference between revisions

** There is also a <u>short version</u> that lasts about six seconds. A presentation version of this also exists.

* From <u>1997 to 2000</u>, another Christmas-themed variant of the presentation variant was also used, with snow falling around the mask and company name.

* At the end of a <u>1994 ''L-club'' episode on April Fools Day</u> (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 June 18th of the same year. Also, the variant stays there for twelve seconds before finally cutting to black.

* A spoof of the logo was seen on ''<u>Оба-на!</u>'' 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, who 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).

'''Audio:''' The closing theme of the show or Andrey Rasbash's voice announcer saying "Телекомпания ВИD по заказу ОРТ".

=== 8th Logo (1995) ===

'''Visuals:''' Against the black background, a gold line stretches outwards horizontally in the center of the screen, resembling a CRT television powering up. The line opens up and glows, containing the word "ТЕЛЕКОМПАНИЯ" in a black font (this word is also seen scrolling in faint large letters within the bar); this then shrinks into a dot, from which arises a thin black ring, containing within it the infamous stone mask (which has a thick black outline around it). The mask stops in the center of the screen, much smaller than before, and the ring fades to the glowing ring. The word "{{Font|Times|{{color|#CC7E31|'''ВИD'''}}}}" appears. Some lines close in around the mask, and a faint gold line appears at the bottom-right; the word "{{Font|Courier New|ПРЕДСТАВЛЯЕТ}}" is typed in thereupon in the black typewriter font. All of this happens in a span of about five seconds.

'''Technique:''' CGI graphics and effects.

'''Audio Variants:'''

**There is also another version with a different announcer (Sergey Kushnerëv).

*For the <u>early version</u> as "MRFPTRB", the announcer (Andrey Rasbash) speak more than usual due to financial support of MRFPTRB.

*Sometimes, the announcer's words are <u>"spaced out further"</u> while being said.

*The first logo announcer (without the echo effect) was used until <u>January 5, 2000</u>.

*There is a <u>Ukrainian version</u> with a different announcer.

'''Audio:''' Andrey Rasbash's voice announcer saying, "Телекомпания ВИD, Крылья Медиа представляют", accompanied by synth swooshes.
