Scarecrow do you Intro VID?
No, not at all frightened. I have this mug seemed like Yeltsin, and he is not terrible, always something on TV mumbled stumbling.
This is some of the ancient Greek mask, made by some Chinese master. And on his head sits a toad (or frog).
Maybe as a child I was afraid of her, but now it's not scary :)
The history of the logo and screen saver
After the founding of the TV company VID, in 1987, Vlad Leaves have long thought that to use as the new logo of the company. Came to the aid of his wife Albina, who for 10 years worked as a restorer in the Museum of the East. It is proposed to use a ceramic mask depicting the head of the ancient Chinese Taoist philosopher Guo Xiang (eng. Guo Xiang) holding a three-legged toad. There is also a version that the mask was a symbol of death in Ancient China (the mask is symbolically depicted a severed human head on top of which was planted a toad). However, the Museum is forbidden to use the original mask as a logo, with the result that the mask was slightly modified with the use of computer graphics and is called "mask VID".
Decorated with a logo of the broadcaster mask looked pretty creepy (the dead man's head with a scary face and a strange "growth" — a frog on the head), so many little children were frightened seeing her on TV before viewing the children's and entertainment programs, for example, time or name that tune. Besides, the screensaver is accompanied by eerie music (fanfare), written by composer Vladimir Rackevich (melody of five notes: Cb39; — E — Ab39; — E — Ab39; or(sharp)-mi-La(sharp)-mi-La(sharp)), and the bright flashes of black and white light, which was completed with frightening effect.
Initially, the screen saver consisted of the following: on gray-white background, the left side of the screen appears a fat black hell (springboard), which moves to the right, while vibrating. Vibration accompanied by a sound vaguely reminiscent of the work of a jackhammer or an old movie projector. Then on the left there is a small ball of grey color, which jumps the line and reaching its end, falls down. The ball drop is simulated by the reduced size of the screen. Decrease the size of the point, the Orb "explodes", causing the appearance of black-and-white flashes-circles (it is also possible that it means the falling of the ball in the water (pool), as flash reminiscent of divergent water circles), the explosion is accompanied by the above-mentioned five chords. After that, the screen instantly darkens and from the darkness appears a mask VID. At the bottom there is an inscription in gold "VID", which runs a small glare. Also in all programs after the screen saver appears "IS" or "ARE" (if you also mentioned the name of the Studio of soproizvodnje, for example, the Studio "Experiment") on a black background. Sometimes used a different version (for example — "Field of dreams"), when instead of these scary chords were a short sharp sound like the sound when promote videotapes, the mask quickly appeared and as quickly disappeared, then appeared the inscription "IS".
In the last years of the saver (1997-1998) before some of the gear showed it to a truncated version which only had the flash and the appearance of the mask (one of the exceptions — "rush Hour"), and after transmission — only an inscription "TV company VID by the order of ORT" and the appearance of the mask from the darkness to the sound of trumpets or voice Rasbase "TV company VID by the order of ORT", and then show only flash and the mask. Like this (the flash and the appearance of the mask) the screensaver shown before at the end of some shows (particularly "Field of miracles" — the End of one of the editions of the program, 1993, present the flash ).
The image "masks ВИDа" caused a wave of controversy in Russia, after one or few hits of her many young children manifested severe fears and phobias[5] associated with it (for example, fear of the dark). Also, bright black-and-white flashes present in the Intro, causing problems in patients with epilepsy. The address of the broadcaster sounded the request to cease displaying the screen saver in the air.
In mid-1998, flash was removed because they cause problems in patients with epilepsy of people, and creepy music replaced the voice of Andrew Rasbash, who said: "the TV company VID represents." Before some editions of programs of the TV company VID fanfare appeared mask VID and the voice of Andrew Rasbash saying "is...", with the words "TV company VID" he uttered.
From 17 January 2000 to 2008 the original screensaver was replaced by a mask VID on black and yellow background instead of black, while Rasbash began to pause before the word "is" (sometimes without a pause). At the end of some programs until the end of 2000 showed a truncated version of the old screen saver. Before and after the "Scandals of the week" is a truncated version was shown until August 2001. Experts said that a more modest demonstration of the VID mask causes less fear. The new logo looks like: a yellow dot on a black screen stretched in a line and is expanding. The band appears, the word "broadcaster". It decreases rapidly and disappears after that occurs in the center of the black oval, which is slightly increased and turned into a mask VID, pale at the top appears the inscription "broadcaster", and below is a yellow inscription "VID", written by Times New Roman font. Below there is another line, and it prints the word "is", which is pronounces Andrei Razbash. Throughout the screensaver with a yellow band visible large letters "TV". Before "Serve the Fatherland!" in the Intro is the voice of Alexey Neklyudov, the speaker of the First channel.
From June 22, 2000, before the program "Wait for me" shows a slightly modified version of the screen saver: it goes slower than usual, after the appearance of "masks ВИDа" changing the Russian flag and the inscription: "With the financial support of the Federal Agency for press and mass communications". From December 20, 2004 instead of Andrei Razbash in this screensaver is the voice of Alexei Neklyudov. 6 Dec 2004 "Wait for me" in the Intro sounded the voice of Sergey Kushnereva, the author of this program. Later they changed the lettering and flag after the screen saver ВИDа before the program "Wait for me".

Parody screensaver
In late 1991, in the "two-on!.." was shown the famous parody where "the mask ВИDа" changed the face of Igor Ugolnikov, who uttered the phrase "VID, VID... Nothing shows in your ВИDу!" and then smiled. In 1994, there have been shown another version of the parody, it was a screensaver that consists of only the logo appears made Ugolnikov phrase already sounded like "VID, VID... "Both-well" will now show on your ВИDу!", but otherwise the sound was absent.
In 1992, in one of the games of the Higher League of KVN team of the Yerevan state medical Institute was shown a parody of the Intro ВИDа consisted of the following: on his knees, sat a man, covered on top with yellow blanket. Then, after voiced sounds, imitating fanfare from the original splash, the blanket was removed, and under it there was a human head with a gray face, closed eyes and half-open mouth, thus parodying the original "the Mask ВИDа". Under the face was a sheet of paper that says "VIEW".
In the early 1990-ies in a humorous program "the Gentleman-show" at issue "Bullet miracles" that mimics the capital-show "Field of miracles", used the music the appearance of "masks ВИDа" from the first screen of the television when a player makes a bad move the barrel which in turn was put to his temple "members" of this game (the team of "Mask-show")
In 1993-1996, prior to each release of the program "L-club" demonstrated a shocking parody Intro of the television, when at the end of her demonstrate the logo has become a person Leonid Yarmolnik, who opened the eyes of youtube . This parody was scarier than the original.
According to some information, this was done at the request of the Yarmolnik, as he, along with the producers of the TV company VID was also one of the authors of the program.[8]. According to unconfirmed reports, the most terrifying version of this splash screen was shown April 1, 1995. Then the "mask ВИDа" does not become a person Yarmolnik, and under a sharp unpleasant sound, an increase in size, she smiled, stuck out his tongue, opened his eyes and after 5 seconds, blinked them. Then, she (with open eyes) have been on the screen for 10-15 seconds (as an option, he Yarmolnik was completely disguised as VID). There is also a view that the splash screen was shown repeatedly, and its distinguishing feature was the lack of a running highlight on the label during the appearance of the mask. Savers music was with a different tone.
In 1995 in one of the games of KVN 1995 1/2 finale involving HAI music from splash TV company VID (is arranged), the music man takes a picture, and the host says "Attention! Live underground TV "Pale VID"!".

Parody logo
In 2000 in the "Town" in the release titled "Be healthy" in the section "Movie" was shown a parody Intro of the television, where the role of logo plays a face of Yuri Stoyanov, and below appears the inscription "Pale VID".
As a self-made parody on the logo sometimes stood cartoon characters such as Sonic, for example sonic as the ball, the big cat (in the role of HOU Xiang) and Froggy (in the role of holding a three-legged toad)
In late 2009 — early 2010, the logo and splash screen with 90 ball and outbreaks has become a global Internet meme, which spawned a huge number fotozhab and variations from them. In these years, Internet users do parodies and cartoons with this screensaver and logo.
I always thought that the face in the Intro is Yeltsin, not afraid but I remember going to the first channel of the transmission there at the end came the masked man was afraid of this.
to be honest I was very scared, even ran into the other room) and so on until 3 years and then began to understand why fear it?)))
