*''The Littles'' (September 10, 1983-November 2, 1985): Over an {{color|orange}} background, Dinky runs past the logo, throwing a {{color|lime|green}} button onto the space above the "I" to form the dot.
*''Inspector Gadget'' (October 3-December 9, 1983): Over a {{color|blue}} background, Inspector Gadget passes over the logo riding skates. Suddenly, his Gadget mallet pops out of his cap, causing Gadget to lose balance and wobble off-screen. As that happens, the mallet slams into a space above the "I", dotting it.

*''The Littles'': The last line of the closing theme song: "You can't stop the Littles 'cause the Littles don't stop!".
* ''Inspector Gadget'': A 5-note horn stinger, followed by a "twoing" sound as Gadget's mallet "dots" the "i". Afterwards, we hear a three-note trumpet outro. This is a shortened variation of a background music cue often used on the show to end scenes in an episode, composed by Shuki Levy.

*The ''Inspector Gadget'' version was seen on many first-season episodes of the series, starting with the episode "The Ruby" (Some early episodes up to "Don't Hold Your Breath" generally had the "Vortex", along with some later episodes). The 2nd season did not use this logo (reverting back to the Vortex logo), unlike ''The Littles'', which used its variant throughout its entire run. This is possibly because the series took a break in 1984.
*''The Littles'' version has been retained on almost all DVD releases (Including the Sterling/NCircle DVD of ''The Littles Christmas Special'' and the 2 complete series boxsets) and re-airings of the series.
** This version is hard to find, as most prints of the series replace this logo with newer DIC logos, usually the 3rd or 4th logos, or the Cookie Jar logo.
*This logo was not saved when ''The Littles'' made the rounds as part of a syndicated package of DIC shows appearing on local stations syndicated by Tribune Entertainment between 2003 and the summer of 2008 (nicknamed the “DIC Kids Network” and later the "Cookie Jar Kids Network"); the end credit animation is slowed down except for the audio to run at the allotted time so they could plaster this logo with the 2001 logo.
**The logo also was not saved on some modern non-English prints of the series, as the Cookie Jar logo plasters it, with the music intact.

** If the show is ever rerun, it has a slim chance of appearing, but will most likely be plastered by the Cookie Jar logo.
