DIC Entertainment: Difference between revisions

*This logo last appeared on the second season of ''Popples''.

===2nd Logo (September 10, 1983-November 2, 1985)===

* On at least POP UK airings of ''Captain N and the New Super Mario World'', the "DiC" voice over is muted, likely due to unintentional innuendo.

* Like the first logo, don’t expect to see this on Disney films from the late 1990’s like ''Meet the Deedles'' and ''Inspector Gadget'', respectively, as this logo was only used on both television and direct-to-video productions.

** It was seen on Season 2 both of ''The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin'' and ''Dennis The Menace'' (the latter of which aired on Boomerang until 2015), and on other shows from the time.

** The choir version was seen on syndicated programs that switched from [[Columbia Pictures Television]] to Coca-Cola Telecommunications at the last minute, including some syndicated episodes of ''The Real Ghostbusters'' (plastering the "Vortex" logo - the syndicated episodes were produced during the Vortex era), and some episodes of ''Starcom: The U.S. Space Force''.

** The version that continues over the Coca-Cola music can be seen on older VHS prints of these two shows.

** However, international prints of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' normally do not have this logo. They instead use the 1988 [[Saban Entertainment|Saban International]] logo, though some episodes use both the 1987 DIC and 1988 Saban International logos.

** The regular longer version appears on ''Captain Planet and the Planeteers'' (it was also retained on Boomerang airings before the 2015 rebrand; the same goes for the Season 1 prints on the Boomerang streaming app), ''Inspector Gadget's Field Trip'', DIC's ''Sailor Moon'' dub, the Sterling DVD and VHS releases of ''Inspector Gadget: The Gadget Files'', two episodes on the [[Shout! Factory]] DVD set of ''Inspector Gadget: The Original Series'' ("The Boat" and "The Ruby") and ''Extreme Dinosaurs'', among others.

** The warp speed variant is easier to spot.

** This also appeared on ''ALF: The Animated Series'' and ''ALF Tales'' DVDs, and ''Mummies Alive!''.

** Last used on some prints of the [[BKN International|BKN]] series ''Pocket Dragon Adventures''.

*** The DIC Presents variant is retained at the start of ''Captain N & The New Super Mario World'', although the Reteitalia/Telecinco byline variant is plastered by the 2004 Cookie Jar logo at the end.

** The Reteitalia/Telecinco byline variant appears on a few shows like ''Super Mario World'', the first episode of ''Double Dragon'', ''Wish Kid'', ''Super Dave: Daredevil for Hire'', ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' and ''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'', but is plastered with the regular 1990-1997 warp speed variant on all the DVD releases of the latter series from Shout! Factory, though it is included as part of the "Visual History of the DiC Logo" special feature on ''The Littles: The Complete Unedited Series'' DVD set.

** The version with the xylophone theme only appears on a Spanish VHS release of ''Street Sharks'' as of writing.

** This variant of the logo first appeared on ''Sonic Underground''.

** The long version first appeared on ''Our Friend, Martin'' and eventually appeared on the VHS tape ''Archie's Weird Mysteries: Archie and the Riverdale Vampires'' and the DTV feature ''Monster Mash''.

** This version also plastered older DIC logos on shows that aired on PAX TV's "Cloud Nine" block.

** This variant is a lot rarer due to its short time of use, but is still easy to find on Region 2/4 DVD releases of the mentioned shows.

** An early incarnation of the AVID (at the time the Closing Logos Group) website from 2005 claimed the logo appeared on reruns of ''Speed Racer'' (that DIC had licensed from Speed Racer Enterprises in addition to ''Speed Racer X'') on Speed Channel (now FS1). This was confirmed eighteen years later in April 2023 when a video from Speed Channel's "Speed Racer-Thon" marathon that took place in 2004 surfaced, with all episodes having this logo at the end.

* The website version had a slightly sped up version of the "instant popup globe" audio.

* The standard length logo first appeared on the Lions Gate Home Entertainment VHS/DVD releases of ''Sabrina: The Animated Series'' and ''Mummies Alive!'' plastering the previous logo.

** It also appears at the end of other Lions Gate VHS/DVD releases, in addition to the following shows: ''Super Duper Sumos'', original CBS airings of ''Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot'' (which DIC did not produce), ''DinoSquad'' and ''Sushi Pack''.

* Though the series was co-produced by DIC, this logo does not appear on the ''Inspector Gadget'' spinoff ''Gadget & the Gadgetinis'' that ran from 2002-03; only an in-credit notice appears.
