ВИD (VID)

The VID-TV mask was a logo from the Russia (Russian) TV company of the same name that is known to be kind of scary and creepy that was used from 1990 to 2013 perhaps the worst of them all.

Logo
On a white background, we start off with a black line on the left side of the screen making a projector like noise, and then a ball bounces on the line at a fast pace. The ball then falls off as the line stops moving and starts falling down. and then a black outline of a circle shoots out from the center immediately followed by an entirely black circle that fills the screen and creates a black background, and then a scary mask fades in. The company name in gold font appears underneath the mask.

Additional Info
It turns out that the creator of the logo was going to use the Death mask of Guo Xiang, a Chinese Taoist PhIlosopher, but the museum would not let him use it. Therefore, he tried to model the head with computer graphics. This, combined with the logo itself, makes this logo very infamous and one of the scariest logos ever.

In 1993-1994 before L-club, the VID mask would morph into the face of Leonid Yarmolnik and open its eyes (picture below). It might be a little bit better to know that the Russian company of BИD no longer uses this logo since 2000, but continues to use the 1990s mask. However, in an April Fools joke, another version of the logo opened its eyes and stuck its tongue out in the beginning.

The "ВND” wordmark also uses the Latin "D" instead of the Cyrillic "D” so the wordmark does not use the proper way to write "VID" with Cyrillic letters. The weird bulge on the top of the mask is actually a frog. It's a little hard to see, since it's shadowed and can be confused for a hair bun.

Music; Sounds
At the beginning, something that sounds like a machine turning on, then something that sounds like a phew, and at the end, 5 loud orchestral notes playing (made in KAWAI K1) when the creepy stone mask appears.

YouTube Screamer Variants (2010)
One variant has the 1977 Viacom logo by the timpani plays and cut by a man shouting of a monster scream Viacom V of Doom zooming in and then the ВИD mask crashes into the screen.

This logo became very popular in the Vyond / GoAnimate community.

Editor’s Note
The logo has been both been feared (and memed) in the logo community due to the extremely creepy mask, zooming circles, and the 5-note fanfare, (Recorded in KAWAI K1) and is declared as one of the scariest logos ever made. 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.
