** 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 (UK)|Gullane Entertainment]] logo would be used - this logo would eventually turn up starting with “The Chocolate Crunch” from 2003, and then releases of the show would use the logo beyond 2003. | ** 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 (UK)|Gullane Entertainment]] logo would be used - this logo would eventually turn up starting with “The Chocolate Crunch” from 2003, and then releases of the show 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 5th logo being used all over the packaging. The last DVD to use this logo overall is ''The Spirit of Sodor'', although as mentioned below, the reissue plasters it with the next logo. | ** Inexplicably, later 2Entertain-distributed ''Thomas & Friends'' DVDs continued to use this logo until their distribution rights expired in 2008, despite the 5th logo being used all over the packaging.

*Don’t expect this to appear on Season 2 compilation VHS releases to ''Dennis and Gnasher (1996)'' (i.e. ''The Master of Mischief'' and ''Born to Be Wild''), as it cuts straight to the episodes after the warning screen, especially with the print logo on packaging (considering that D.C. Thomson; who created ''The Beano'' comics, handled distribution to the tapes and HiT allowed them to use their assets), however you will see it on tape labels on post-2003 re-issues (the ones with the updated BBFC ratings at the time). | * Don’t expect this to appear on Season 2 compilation VHS releases to ''Dennis and Gnasher (1996)'' (i.e. ''The Master of Mischief'' and ''Born to Be Wild''), as it cuts straight to the episodes after the warning screen, especially with the print logo on packaging (considering that D.C.

'''Editor's Note''': The explosion, slightly jarring appearance, and audio cacophony might have caused a few scares, depending on your view. However, speaking of which, this logo is very well done and is considerably a favorite of many. In fact, this logo is the most creative on-screen logo for HIT Entertainment. | '''Editor's Note''': The explosion, slightly jarring appearance, and audio cacophony might have caused a few scares, depending on your view.
