'''Visuals:''' On a shady {{color|dimgray|grey}} background, there is the word "'''{{color|blue|HiT}}'''" in the same font as the HIT Communications logo in {{color|blue}}, with "ENTERTAINMENT PLC" written vertically next to the T in white. A hole is cut out in between the letters above the I for a spinning globe. Under that we see the URL "www.hitentertainment.com" and  byline “DISTRIBUTED WORLDWIDE BY HIT ENTERTAINMENT PLC". There is a spotlight from the top left of the screen, casting a shadow of the logo on the floor.
'''Visuals:''' On a shady {{color|dimgray|grey}} background, the new HIT Entertainment logo is seen in a metallic sheen. The logo is similar to the HIT Communications logo, but "'''{{color|blue|HiT}}'''" is now colored {{color|blue}} and slightly thicker, "'''ENTERTAINMENT PLC'''" is present in white, and a large hole is cut out around the top of the "'''{{color|blue|i}}'''" to make room for a spinning globe of the Earth, with {{color|blue}} water and {{color|gold}} continents and is spinning counterclockwise. Under that is the URL "'''www.hitentertainment.com'''" and  the byline “'''DISTRIBUTED WORLDWIDE BY HIT ENTERTAINMENT PLC'''". A spotlight can be seen in the top left of the screen, and the logo casts a long shadow along the bottom of the screen.
