DIC Entertainment: Difference between revisions

* On a Tubi TV print of S1E6 of ''G.I. Joe'', the 1987 [[Claster Television Incorporated]] logo theme comes in early shortly after the last note.

* On a Spanish DVD print of ''Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors'' episodes "Escape from the Garden of Evil", "The Vase of Xiang", "Steel Against Shadow", and "Silver Crusaders", the 1990 warp-speed variant has music from the 2004 [[Cookie Jar|Cookie Jar Entertainment]] logo. This is due to a reverse plastering error.

* A French VHS release of ''Sylvanian Families'' has an audio error, where the child says "DiC" twice, with the other one sounding slightly softer. The 1987 [[Coca-Cola Telecommunications]] jingle can also be heard towards the end.

* 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.

'''Availability:''' Most airings and releases of DIC shows today have the [[DHX Cookie Jar|Cookie Jar Entertainment]] logo plastering it, but some TV airings, online prints, and older DVD and VHS releases of DIC shows keep this logo intact, and remains the easiest logo to find from the company, especially the 1990 variant.

* Like the first logo, this does not appear on [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]] films from the late 1990's like ''Meet the Deedles'' and ''Inspector Gadget'', respectively, as this logo is only used on both television and direct-to-video productions.

** This variant is also intact on some of the episodes on the recent DVD release of ''The Real Ghostbusters'' from [[Time-Life Video|Time-Life]].

** 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 Entertainment|Saban International]] logos.

* As mentioned before, the 1990 variant is the most common logo of the company to find for its wide prevalence during this time, as well as being used to plaster older logos and variants.  

** 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 Entertainment Group|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 logo was last used on some prints of the [[BKN International|BKN]] series ''Pocket Dragon Adventures''.

** A number of DIC shows on various official [[WildBrain Spark|WildBrain]] YouTube channels might retain this logo, or plaster it with the 2004 [[DHX Cookie Jar|Cookie Jar]] logo.

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

* The 1999 variant, however, isn't easy to find in North America, though it's more common outside of North America.

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

** The long version first appeared on ''Our Friend, Martin'' and eventually appeared on the U.S. VHS release of ''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|PAX TV]]'s "Cloud Nine" block.

'''Legacy:''' This was notable in the logo community for its darkness, spiked star, music and voice (more so with the 1987 variant and especially the early choir variant). However, it is a favorite who grew up with it.
