'''Nicknames:''' "Diamond Top III", "The Gold Diamonds", "Early Golden Top", "Drawing Top", "Drawing Diamond Top" | |||
'''Logo:''' On a {{color|sienna|brown}} smoke-like background, 2 {{color|gold}} diagonal lines start to draw a diamond. They curve and intersect at the top to draw the second and third diamonds. "{{color|gold|ITC}}" appears letter-by-letter inside the diamonds. The text "'''<u>I. T. C. E N T E R T A I N M E N T</u> G R O U P'''" in white zooms in below the diamonds. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The diamonds drawing, and the text zooming in. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' The end theme of the series. | |||
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. This was only seen on the miniseries ''Windmills Of The Gods''. The [[Timeless Media Group|Timeless Media]] DVD preserves this logo and so do the Shout! Factory TV prints (followed by the ITV Studios Global Entertainment logo). | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' It could be considered a prototype version of the previous logo thanks to the gold color, albeit it's more of a crude recreation of the logo at the time, both in animation and design. | |||
