Logo descriptions by SnowflakesOmega
Background: Videoservice (Видеосервис) is a major distributor of VHS and DVD in Russia.
1st Logo
(1991-1996)
Logo: We see a blue sky with clouds, and a marble grid. A golden spherical shape drops down. It touches the floor and gets squashed. The squashed gold then starts to form a golden shape, which then rotates down to reveal some stylized Russian letters. Next to the B, there's two words, one of them being the company name, "Видеосервис".
FX/SFX: The really cheesy transformation from the sphere to the logo.
Music/Sounds: A light orchestral theme.
Availability: Scarce. Seen on early Videoservice tapes.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo
(1996-1999)

Logo: On a blue sky with clouds below, a golden square with an encarved B and C zooms in rotating. A light flare passes through the logo. The Russian name zooms out below with a blur. The light flare then stops moving, and flashes before disappearing.
FX/SFX: The logo zooming in, the light flare, the word zooming out. The quality has taken a major step compared to the previous.
Music/Sounds: Same as before.
Availability: Uncommon on Russia. Can be found on various videotapes of famous films distributed in the country, including those made by Columbia and Tristar.
Editor's Note: None.
3rd Logo
(2000)
<iframe align="bottom" frameborder="0" height="207" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/youtubevideo/9d9bed81de8b184f391e10bc720ccb5c81fb7d1a" width="366"></iframe>
Logo: TBA
FX/SFX: Everything including the machinery.
Music/Sounds: An electro-industrial theme with the sounds of machinery heard through the logo.
Availability: Uncommon. It was only used for one year to mark the advent of the new millenium.
Editor's Note: None.
4th Logo
(2001-)
Logo: We see a stormy sky with dark water below. Two lights appear and swirl to the center, leaving transparent trails making the "ВС". The Videoservice square logo then appears from a burst of light, along with a Russian word zooming out above, followed by the Russian name. The stormy sea background fades out.
Variant: The logo would zoom out to place itself on the warning screen.
FX/SFX: Great animation of the stormy sea, pretty average when you watch everything else.
Music/Sounds: A calming bell/guitar theme, with the sounds of thunder and the action.
Availability: Common. Appears on every recent VHS and DVD made by the company.
Editor's Note: None.
