ВИD

1990-2013

1990-2002

In 1990, ВИD (VID in english) was founded by Vladislav Listyev. He thought that the best design for the company's logo would be a death mask of Guo Xiang, which was found at the Museum of Eastern Art in Moscow. However the museum wouldn’t allow Listyev to use the actual mask. So instead, he recreated it using computer graphics.

The monochrome version of the logo is still used as a branding element in YouTube videos posted on their channel.

1995-2002

2000-2013

2013-2017

In March 2013, ВИD slightly changed its logo.

ВИDgital

2017-present

On October 6, 2017, with the name change to ВИDgital in order to focus on digital media, the Guo Xiang mask was redesigned as a CGI-animated bust, which more closely resembles the actual death mask than the old one.

-In 1990, ВИD (VID in english) was founded by Vladislav Listyev. He thought that the best variant of a logo would be a head of Guo Xiang, which was found at the Museum of Eastern Art in Moscow. However the museum wouldn’t allow Listyev to use the actual head. So, he instead fashioned a "mask" of Xiang's head using computer graphics. The Guo Xiang scary mask named "BND of Doom", created in early February 1994.

-On October 6, 2017, with the name change (to coincide with their foray into digital media), the mask of Guo Xiang’s head was reimagined as a CGI-animated bust. The frog is animated to crawl on top of the then-smiling bust, and changes colors from red to white so it would match the bust.
