*On the pilot episode of ''Kidd Video'', the logo is seen in a box in the center top-left part of the screen, and the Saban logo in the center bottom-right. The corner of the DIC logo overlaps the Saban logo, and this is up against a black background with a white streak in the middle. Vice-versa on later episodes, but against an orange background, again with a white streak in the middle (with the logos switching places). | *On the pilot episode of ''Kidd Video'', the logo is seen in a box in the center top-left part of the screen, and the Saban logo in the center bottom-right.

*One variant has the vortex fade to a greenish color after the logo zooms in, probably because of quality issues with some prints of the logo.

*It first appeared as an in-credit logo on ''Cro et Bronto''. Speaking of which, the in-credit variant is extinct and was also seen on original Japanese airings of ''Ulysses 31''. However, shows from this period either had this logo replaced or are lost outside of original TV airings. | |||
*The animated version first appeared on the pilot of ''Inspector Gadget'' in late 1982, and also appeared on multiple first-season episodes of the show in September 1983, though the logo wouldn’t begin its official run until September 1984 on multiple shows. | *The animated version first appeared on the pilot of ''Inspector Gadget'' in late 1982, and also appeared on multiple first-season episodes of the show in September 1983, though the logo wouldn’t begin its official run until September 1984 on multiple shows. | ||
*Most of the shows that had this logo (''Inspector Gadget'', ''Zoobilee Zoo'', ''Dennis the Menace'', and ''Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats'' to name a few) are not currently airing on American, Canadian, Australian, or European TV, so it’s pretty much gone on TV, outside of VHS tapes and DVDs. However, it is intact on a decent amount of VHS tapes (and some DVDs). If the shows are rerun, expect the Cookie Jar logo to replace it; when they were rerun on a channel like pre-2015 Boomerang, the logo might have been intact. Some NCircle DVDs of ''Heathcliff'' surprisingly retains this logo. Also seen when Boomerang and Atlanta's WATC 18 reran ''Dennis The Menace''. | *Most of the shows that had this logo (''Inspector Gadget'', ''Zoobilee Zoo'', ''Dennis the Menace'', and ''Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats'' to name a few) are not currently airing on American, Canadian, Australian, or European TV, so it’s pretty much gone on TV, outside of VHS tapes and DVDs.

*In 2003, this logo was strangely resurrected. This time, instead of the regular DIC logo, it has "The Incredible World Of DIC" globe from the 4th logo zoom up outside the window, with light rays shining behind it. When the globe stops, the light rays flash. The logo also has a different starfield that appears to be a cheap rotating 2D image. This variant is nicknamed “Globe in Space”. | *In 2003, this logo was strangely resurrected.
