This was due to a video editing error. | * On the VHS release of ''Double Dragon: The Legend Begins'', the moment the Reteitalia/Telecinco byline swoops into place, the logo freeze-frames even before the star has turned into a dot.

* On ''Old MacDonald's Sing-a-Long Farm'', it features the standard 1990 variant, but it includes a copyright stamp that fades in below the DIC logo, right after the logo's sequence. There's also a shortened version of this variant on VHS releases of ''Rimba's Island - You Are Special'' (similar to the ''ALF: The Animated Series'' variant, where it cuts straight to the rotation of the DIC logo, voiding the "Kid in Bed" part), minus the sped-up star animation and the end theme playing over it. | * On ''Old MacDonald's Sing-a-Long Farm'', it features the standard 1990 variant, but it includes a copyright stamp that fades in below the DIC logo, right after the logo's sequence.
