'''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 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 as well as ''Thomas & Friends'' ones while not in motion. | '''Availability:''' Pretty common.

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 logo would be used - this logo would eventually turn up starting with “The Chocolate Crunch” from 2003, and then releases 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 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. | ||

'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|blue|blue}} background, we see the HiT logo (as seen in the last two logos), but less shiny and solid, and with "ENTERTAINMENT" replacing "ENTERTAINMENT PLC". A glow of light surrounds the globe. Sometimes, a copyright notice appears below. Like the 4th logo, sometimes the URL (www.hitentertainment.com) and byline (DISTRIBUTED WORLDWIDE BY HIT ENTERTAINMENT) are seen below the logo. | '''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|blue|blue}} background, we see the HiT logo (as seen in the last two logos), but less shiny and solid, and with "ENTERTAINMENT" replacing "ENTERTAINMENT PLC".
