HIT Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''Visuals:''' On a teal marble-like background, a silver disc rolls around a bit before it rests still. Then, four light blue lasers strike it from different directions twice, with the lasers remaining on the second as they start to rotate clockwise, and the camera pans to an aerial view and rotates around it. As this is happening, the word "'''HiT'''", in a tall silver font, zooms out from the centre of the screen and the camera rotates so that the letters are pointing upwards normally. As it does so, one of the lasers types in "'''COMMUNICATIONS PLC'''" in blue along the side of the "'''T'''", and the screen freezes just as the last letter appears.  

==HIT Ente

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, the bluish-gray letters of "'''HIT'''" fly outwards to the centre to form a result similar to the previous logo, but with thinner letters and no dot. Below it all is "Distributed by HIT Entertainment PLC." in white and in quotation marks.

*On a Rede Manchete (?) airing, the HIT logo is cut-out, but the thin line can be seen during the beginning of it (which is actually the bottom of the CGI letter "I").

'''Visuals:''' On a shady grey background, the new HIT Entertainment logo is seen in a metallic sheen. The logo is similar to the HIT Communications logo, but "'''HiT'''" is now colored blue and slightly thicker, "'''ENTERTAINMENT PLC'''" is present in white, and a large hole is cut out around the top of the "'''i'''" to make room for a spinning globe of the Earth, with blue water and 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.

*On some later prints of ''Basket Fever'', the background is now a white/lavender gradient background, with a slightly-yellowed map of the world on it, "'''ENTERTAINMENT PLC'''" in black, and no text on the bottom. The screen also jumps when the lasers are heard.

'''Visuals:''' On a sky blue background with stripes and shines, a yellow/orange/black gradient ribbon flies around from the right edge of the screen, eventually swirling itself into a spiral shape as the background zooms in. Eventually, the end of the spiral explodes and releases multi-coloured fireworks from it, along with a beam of cyan light shooting out of the middle along with several smaller ribbons in various colours, confetti, bubbles, and white dots from the end of the tunnel. The background also pops back into place and moves a bit, and a lens flare appears and swoops towards the camera, causing the entire screen to fade to white. Then, the tunnel then repositions itself into becoming a flat spiral as more ribbons and fireworks are shot towards the screen, and a couple of bottle rockets also pass by the screen. Finally, the tunnel fades away into a swirling dust cloud coloured yellow and light blue, and then a toy-like globe of the Earth zooms in as the dust forms the HIT Entertainment logo. It looks similar to the 2nd logo, but with a flat, sky blue colour.

*This logo can also be found on all [[Video Collection International|VCI]]/[[2 Entertain]]-distributed ''Thomas & Friends'' releases as well, starting with "The Chocolate Crunch and Other Stories" from 2003.

*Both the "ENTERTAINMENT" and "CONSUMER PRODUCTS" white background variants can be found on games of the company’s shows, and the "ENTERTAINMENT PLC" version is seen on the remastered versions of the original ''Fireman Sam'' alongside the 1987 [[Bumper Films]] and 1995 [[S4C Originals|S4C]] logos.

'''Visuals:''' On a white/light blue gradient background, a CGI block is seen with "'''H'''" (white on red), "'''i'''" (blue on yellow), and "'''T'''" (white on blue) on its 3 visible sides, with "'''HiT entertainment'''" below it. 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 company 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 as the company name fades back in below.

*A prototype version exists, which is still, with a plain white background and a slightly different block with a smaller H and T being viewed from a higher angle. Sometimes, the words "Distributed worldwide by" appears above the logo.

*In-credit variants exist. One is of the still worldwide distribution variant, one is an in-credit still of the normal animated version, and the final one shows just the HIT block with the text "Distributed Internationally by HIT Entertainment" to the left of it.
