*Throughout 2003 on DVDs (with the exception of ''Thomas & Friends'' DVDs), the same logo is used but fire can be seen when the explosion occurs, and the white text "ENTERTAINMENT PLC" is replaced with "ENTERTAINMENT", and the globe spins a little faster than normal. The music and sounds in the logo remains unchanged.


FX/SFX: The globe, fireworks, the ribbon, and the small ribbons. CGI animation.

Availability: Pretty common. The long version of the logo is available on most VHS and DVDs by HiT Entertainment, but only in the UK. The short version of the logo was used only on the television series ''Anthony Ant'', while the middle-length version is seen on ''Bob the Builder'' kiddie rides with video screens from Jolly Roger. Inexplicably, later 2Entertain-distributed ''Thomas & Friends'' DVDs continued to use this logo until their distribution rights expired in 2008, despite the next logo being used all over the packaging. However, the reissues of those releases from HiT themselves plastered that and 2Entertain's logo with the next logo.

<u>Editor's Note</u>: The explosion, slightly jarring appearance, and audio cacophony might have caused a few scares, but this logo is very well done and is a favorite of many.

*On the DVD's of at least the first two seasons of ''Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends'' (restored format only, the remastered versions use the Britt Allcroft logo), we see a white background. On the top half it says "A Britt Allcroft Company Production" with the company's logo in between the words "Britt" and "Allcroft" and on the bottom half we see the HIT Entertainment logo. In between them is the word "For". Under all that is a copyright notice that says "(C) 1984-2003 Gullane (Thomas) Limited. All rights reserved". Post-2006 releases of the DVD have this logo replaced with the next logo, with the copyright notice intact.
