Changes
Key: Additions Deletions
Compiled by WileE2005
Logo Pictures by Eric S. & JHprod

1st Logo
(1990-2002)
Nicknames: "The Scary Mask", "The Russian Mask", "ВИD", "The Mask of Doom", "The Mask of Stone", "The Angry Mask" "VID mask" "The Russian SSF"
Logo: On a white background, we see a thick black line wipe onto the screen from the left side, going right. It begins vibrating as it continues moving, and then a white 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 as it zooms away from us and fades out. A black circle then zooms in to fill the screen, creating a black background, and then a creepy-looking stone mask with a mean-looking expression on its face fades in. Then "ВИD" fades underneath in large bronze letters, which is Russian for "VID".
Variants: Late in this logo's life, in 1999, the wiping transitions were removed due to concerns of epilepsy. The mask is forming the smoke.
FX: The line forming, the ball bouncing, the circle zooming and background color change, and the mask and "ВИD" fading in.
Cheesy Factor: The animation of the ball bouncing and the line isn't very detailed, looking like it was made in the 1950's.
Music: Starts out with a film projector-like noise during the ball and line animation, and then when the black circle zooms in, a loud, five-note dramatic horror-like fanfare is heard.
Availability: TBA
Scare Factor: Nightmare; the loud scary music, zooming circles, and evil-looking mask have scared many people, mostly those in Russia.
2nd Logo
(2002- )
Nicknames: "Modern Mask Of Doom", "The Tame Mask", "The Tame SSF"
Logo: A gold line lengthens in the center of the screen, resembling a CRT television powering up. The line opens up and glows, containing the word "телекомпания" in 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 circle, containing within it the infamous stone mask. The mask stops in the center of the screen, much smaller than before, and the circle fades into oblivion. The word "ВИD" appears in gold Times New Roman font, some lines close in around the mask, and a faint gold line appears at the bottom-right; the word "представляет" is laid thereupon in black Courier New font. All of this happens in a span of about five seconds.
FX: Modern graphics & effects.
Cheesy Factor: It looks like the mask from the previous logo was just plastered on a yellow line.
Music: A man reading "Телекомпания ВИD представляет," which is translated into English as "VID Broadcasting Company presents".
Availability: TBA
Scare Factor: Low to medium; the stone mask is still an unsettling sight, but this is mercifully toned down from the first logo.
