'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see a CGI block with "'''H'''" (white on {{color|red}}), "{{color|blue|'''i'''}}" ({{color|blue}} on {{color|gold|yellow}}), and "'''T'''" (white on {{color|blue}}), with "'''{{color|red|HiT entertainment}}'''" below it. Then, all of a sudden, two more of the same blocks come out from behind the main block, and they all jump around as the company name fades out. The blocks stack to reveal the "HiT" name before the two blocks (left and right) disappear. As it leaves only one block, the block looks around before becoming still as the company name fades back in below. | '''Logo:''' On a white background, we see a CGI block with "'''H'''" (white on {{color|red}}), "{{color|blue|'''i'''}}" ({{color|blue}} on {{color|gold|yellow}}), and "'''T'''" (white on {{color|blue}}), with "'''{{color|red|HiT entertainment}}'''" below it.

*The Sprout | *The Sprout re-airings 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 United States, Canada, Mexico, and Colombia use the previous logo (the HD version used in 2006-07). | ||
