*A special bumper appears 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 centre. 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. | *A special bumper appears exclusively on ''HIT Entertainment Children's Favorites Vol. 1'' (2004) before each episode.

'''Legacy:''' A departure from the globe logos to favor more a preschool demographic (although the company distributes non preschool content), it is still nostalgic for those who grew up with it, although it gained a somewhat bad reputation for its usage on the early CG series of ''Thomas & Friends'', alongside the Xing Xing seasons of ''Fireman Sam''. | |||
