* At the beginning of a Greek ''Barney and Friends'' VHS, the tail end of the ''Bob the Builder'' theme song plays over the logo. | |||
<u>Availability:</u> Rare. The logo is seen on ''Brambly Hedge'', ''Kipper'', ''Archibald the Koala'', ''Ted Sieger's Wildlife'', ''Sheeep'', and GoodTimes VHS releases of ''The Wind in the Willows'' and ''The Willows in Winter''. ''Pablo, the Little Red Fox'' also had this logo, especially when it was shown on Playhouse Disney in the early 2000s in America. It was also used for at least seasons 1-3 of ''Bob the Builder'' in the UK. Also spotted on later prints of ''Basket Fever''. Despite being a co-production with the BBC, don't expect this to pop up on the TV movie ''The Phoenix & the Carpet''. | <u>Availability:</u> Rare.

Then, all of a sudden, two more of the same blocks come out from behind the main block, and they all jump around as the name fades out. The blocks stack to reveal the "HiT" name before the two blocks (left and right) disappear. As it leaves only one block, the block looks around before becoming still, and "'''{{Font color|red|HiT entertainment}}'''" fades in below. | |||

<u>Availability</u>: Extremely common. Seen on shows such as ''Fireman Sam'', ''Barney & Friends'' from the 2007-09 seasons, ''Bob the Builder'', and ''Thomas & Friends''. The still logo can be found on games, some DVD releases and sometimes at the end of shows, while the still Worldwide Distribution version appears at the end of some ''Bob the Builder'' and ''The Likeaballs'' episodes, as well as on ''Wobbly Land'' (with the text in a different font and color) and ''Pic Me''. The long version most commonly appears at the start of UK DVDs, ''Fraggle Rock'' and ''Shaun the Sheep'' DVDs. The HiT DVD of ''Wallace & Gromit in Three Amazing Adventures'' also contains it. This version is also present on the ''Frances'' compilation ''Bedtime for Frances DVD & Book collection''. The third variant can be found on several shows such as ''Mike the Knight''. The very short variant can be seen on 2008 episodes of ''Fireman Sam'' and on some airings of ''Wishbone''. Even though the Mattel Creations logo now appears in place of the logo at the start of DVD releases and at end of their shows, the HiT logo still appears on DVD releases when "Play All" is selected and at the end of DVDs. | <u>Availability</u>: Extremely common.
