* A special bumper was used exclusively on ''HIT Entertainment Children's Favorites 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 a clip from the upcoming show then peeks out from behind the globe on either the left or right side and zooms towards the screen before moving in the opposite direction. All other volumes in the series use the standard logo.

*The Sprout reairings of the tenth season of ''Barney & Friends'' use the very last part of the logo's sequence (ie. the HIT block is already there after the animation). Those aired originally on PBS use the original variant with animation. The ninth season reairings on Sprout plaster the previous logo with this one. However, the 10th season episodes aired on Universal Kids in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Colombia use the previous logo (the HD version used in 2006-07).
