*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 (either in the US or overseas), so it’s pretty much gone on TV. However, it is intact on a decent amount of VHS tapes (and some DVDs). If the shows are rerun, the Cookie Jar logo will typically appear instead; when they were rerun on a channel like pre-2015 Boomerang, the logo might have been intact. Some NCircle DVDs of ''Heathcliff'' retain 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 (either in the US or overseas), so it’s pretty much gone on TV.

*The variant with the closing theme appeared on some shows, such as ''The Real Ghostbusters'' (1st season and syndicated episodes), ''Kissyfur'', ''The Get Along Gang'', and the ''Liberty and the Littles'' movie, among others. (The ''Liberty and the Littles'' variant can also be found in the "Visual History of the DIC Logo" special feature on S'More Entertainment's ''The Littles: The Complete Unedited Series'' DVD set as the second logo in the montage {appearing after the ''Littles'' custom variant of the next logo and preceding the 1990 variant of the 3rd logo}). This variant is also intact on uploads of ''The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin'' to the official [[The Jim Henson Company]] YouTube channel. | *The variant with the closing theme appeared on some shows, such as ''The Real Ghostbusters'' (1st season and syndicated episodes), ''Kissyfur'', ''The Get Along Gang'', and the ''Liberty and the Littles'' movie, among others.

*The videotaped variant is rather rare and it hasn't been seen on TV in years, but it was left intact on reruns of certain shows.
