DIC Entertainment: Difference between revisions

***A filmed version of this variant also exists on French dubs of their shows of the time.

*Another variant is identical to the above variant, except "DIC" is {{color|gold|yellow}}. This appeared on a print of the first episode of ''Care Bears'', but it is unknown as to which one (likely an early VHS release of the 11-minute version).

'''Audio:''' An off-tune, ascending 8-note synthesized theme accompanied with whooshing, composed by [[Saban Brands]] founder Haim Saban, introduced in September 1984.

*Originally, the logo had no music when it was first used, as seen on the 1982 pilot and early first-season episodes of ''Inspector Gadget''. This is also preserved on some VHS tapes of the show.

*On the original theatrical and VHS release of ''Here Come the Littles'', a new piece of music was introduced at the beginning of the film (using the filmed version), a 5-note keyboard tune. It may or may not have been heard on other theatrical DIC movies of the time. This music was also used on at least the 2nd season of ''Inspector Gadget'' (1985-86), as well as some later prints of episodes from the first season. On this show, it was used with the videotaped variant, and is slightly sped-up and higher-pitched as a result.

*On a 2009 DVD print of the Russian dub of ''The Real Ghostbusters'' (specifically the episode "Mr. Sandman, Dream Me a Dream"), the "Produced in Association With" variant had the music for the first "Kid in Bed" variant (making this a reverse plaster).

*On a Spanish DVD print of ''Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors'' episode "Ghostship", the logo has music from the 2004 [[DHX Cookie Jar|Cookie Jar Entertainment]] logo due to another reverse plaster situation.

'''Availability:''' Seen on shows from this company from the time period. Outside of shows that are not owned by [[WildBrain|Wildbrain]] (and before then, [[DHX Cookie Jar|Cookie Jar]]), it is nowadays plastered over.

*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 other 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 (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 DVD releases).

*Also seen when [[Boomerang]] and Atlanta's WATC 18 reran ''Dennis The Menace''.

*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}).

**It also appeared on the 1984 television special ''Poochie'' and is intact on its VHS release, but the special has not received a DVD or digital release.
