'''Availability:''' Pretty common. The long version of the logo is available on most VHS and DVDs by HiT Entertainment until late 2003, but only in the UK. The short version of the logo was used on the television series ''Anthony Ant'' and at the end of a ride on video-optioned ''Bob the Builder'' kiddie rides from Jolly Roger, while the middle-length version is seen on said rides when not in motion, while ''Thomas & Friends'' rides use the long version. This logo also appears on all VCI/2Entertain ''Thomas & Friends'' releases as well. Despite the logo being used all over the packaging, this logo is absent on VCI’s 2002 releases of the show - instead, the [[Gullane Entertainment (UK)|Gullane Entertainment]] logo would be used - this logo would eventually turn up starting with “The Chocolate Crunch” from 2003, and then releases of the show would use the logo beyond 2003. Inexplicably, later 2Entertain-distributed ''Thomas & Friends'' DVDs continued to use this logo until their distribution rights expired in 2008, despite the 7th logo being used all over the packaging. However, the reissues of those releases from HiT themselves plastered that and 2Entertain's logo with the 7th logo. | '''Availability:''' Pretty common.
