'''Logo:''' On a black/{{Font color|#8400FF|purple}} gradient background, we see the word "<big>{{Font color|#E0BEFF|DiC}}</big>" in its standard font. Below it is the word “VIDEO” sandwiched between two white lines. A constellation is above the whole thing.

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. This is only known to appear on ''Heathcliff'' releases released by [[Golden Books Family Entertainment]]. Most releases that use this logo on the packaging (like other Golden Book Video or [[Kids Klassics]] releases) just use the regular 1987 logo or the "PRESENTS" version of the latter.

'''Editor's Note:''' This was possibly a placeholder logo for a home media division for DIC. However, this was rejected later on due to the 3rd normal DIC logo being used on most home media releases.

'''Logo:''' Same as the 1990 version of the "Kid in Bed" logo, except the spiked star is replaced with just a shining star in the distance. Then, a crudely-drawn {{Font color|gold|yellow}} cartoon TV with a {{Font color|blue|blue}} screen and the DIC logo (in silver) in it zooms in, and "{{Font color|blue|TOON-TIME}} {{Font color|purple|VIDEO}}" ("{{Font color|blue|TOON-TIME}}" is in {{Font color|blue|blue}} while "{{Font color|purple|VIDEO}}" is in {{Font color|purple|purple}}) appears below it in a crude font, with 2 eyes in place of the 2 "O"s in "TOON".

'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the TV variant, as well as the TV zooming in, and "TOON-TIME VIDEO" appearing.
'''FX/SFX:''' Zooming effects for the TV.


'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the TV counterpart.

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Only known to appear on the 1991 BMG Kidz release of ''Wish Kid''. It might have been seen on other BMG Kidz DIC releases as well. When Buena Vista Home Video reissued these tapes, this logo was plastered with the standard 1990 DIC logo.

'''Editor's Note:''' Another attempt at a home media logo that was scrapped. DIC continued to use their regular third logo on their releases until 1994.

'''Editor's Note:''' The animation is simple, but at least a nice attempt at making an actual home media logo. This is also a favorite of many, along with those who grew up with their releases, too.

'''Logo:''' Just the normal DIC logo used at the time, but with "Home Entertainment" in a blue script font zooming out below. The globe part of the logo itself is a little bit smaller than the regular version.

* It first appeared on the DVD releases of ''Sabrina: The Animated Series - Sabrina's World'' and ''Mummies Alive!'' (the VHS versions use the standard 2001 DIC logo for an unknown reason), and last appeared on the NCircle reissues of ''Sylvanian Families - The Big Adventure'', ''Siegfried and Roy - Masters of the Impossible'' and ''Sonic the Hedgehog - Super Sonic''. Releases after 2008 have the Cookie Jar logo.

'''Editor's Note:''' Not known for plastering older DIC logos unlike [[DiC Entertainment|its TV compartment]], but it may be annoying to viewers who preferred the previous logos over this one, or some older viewers may simply find it childish.

'''Variant:''' There is a version of the logo that says "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" on one line instead of "FEATURE PRESENTATION".

'''FX/SFX:''' This is some very nice animation!
'''FX/SFX:''' CGI animation.


'''Music/Sounds:''' The sounds of the rotors spinning, some whirring/clicking sounds as the rotors retract, and a weird "sproing" as the lights turn on. The "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" version uses lesser-quality stock sounds.

* "Feature Presentation" - Uncommon. It appears at the beginning of all 13 of the DIC Movie Toons (which includes ''Inspector Gadget's Last Case'' and ''Dennis the Menace in Cruise Control''). It is always preceded by the 2001 MGM logo on the original North American [[MGM Home Entertainment]] prints of the movies. Cookie Jar prints of the movies sometimes remove this logo, and so start off the movie without any logos at all.

* "Home Entertainment" - Extremely rare. It appears on various promotional DIC DVDs given away with General Mills cereals in 2004. It was also seen on ''The Littles: The Complete Unedited Series'' (from [[S'More Entertainment]]) as part of a Bonus Feature that showcases other DIC logos.

'''Editor's Note:''' Way better than the previous logo, since it is not as childish with some good CGI. A shame that this wasn't used as a television logo.
