**There is another version of the logo with just the URL. The URL is slightly shifted down to where usually the byline is placed. The URL is in bold, which would be later used in the HD version of the logo.

**There are other variations of the logo with just the byline. This is usually seen on ''Bob the Builder,'' depending on the season of episodes and whether domestic or international. One instance is that the URL is missing from the logo used in 2001-2004 (usually seen in Europe, the original version is used in North America), and another is the same instance as the first, but this time, the byline is shifted upward (rare, usually seen in Welsh airings). Another instance is that the byline is in a different font, and it has a much larger font size.

*A special bumper was used on ''HiT Entertainment Children's Favourites Vol. 1'' (2004) before each episode. It starts off normally with both the URL and byline in their respective places, but the background fades into a zooming space backdrop as all the text disappears and the globe becomes more lifelike and starts to spin. The HiT text then zooms closer before it disappears as the globe moves to the center. A circle playing clip from the upcoming show then peeks out from behind the globe and zooms towards the screen before moving in the other direction. All other volumes in the series use the standard logo.

It was also seen on the ''VeggieTales: The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown'' 2001 VHS. It also appears on the remastered versions of episodes from seasons 1-4 of ''Pingu''. The normal in-credit variant appears on seasons 5-6 of ''Pingu'', while the white background one appears on the 2003 series of ''Fireman Sam'' and at the end of games from the company. Both the “Entertainment” and “Consumer Products” white background variants appear on games of the company’s shows, and an “Entertainment PLC” version was seen on the remastered versions of the original ''Fireman Sam'' alongside the [[Bumper Films (UK)|Bumper Films]] and [[S4C (UK)|S4C]] logos. One of the last releases to use this logo was the 2007 DVD of ''Barney & Friends: Let's Go to the Firehouse!''. It was also used to plaster over the 4th logo at times, and also makes a surprise appearance on the Britbox print of episode 1 of ''Dennis the Gnasher'' (1996-1998) through plastering the 4th logo.
