* ''The Littles'' version is retained on almost all DVD releases (including the [[Sterling Entertainment Group|Sterling]]/[[NCircle Entertainment|NCircle]] DVD release of ''The Littles Christmas Special'' and the two complete series boxsets) and re-airings of the series.

** However, it also does not appear 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 plastered this logo with the 2001 logo.

* The ''Inspector Gadget'' version is 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 previous logo, along with some later episodes. The second season reverts this logo back to the previous logo (unlike ''The Littles'', that used its variant throughout its entire run); this is due to the series taking a break in 1984.

'''Visuals:''' There are two main variants:
'''Visuals:''' There are two main variants:
* '''1987-1990:''' It starts in a stereotypical boy’s bedroom, where there is a boy sleeping in his bed with his pet Basset Hound sleeping on top of him. A second later, the screen zooms through a large window inside of the bedroom. There is a spiked star in the distance. The spikes on the star move around as if it were shining. The star then morphs into a ball, as a large, {{Color|silver}} "'''DiC'''" (with the ball becoming the dot on the "i") zooms up to the camera and rotates 90º to face the camera.

* '''1990-2005:''' The logo got an update with a darker (and spiffier) star field. The glow effect on the white ball is also removed on this variant. The position of the sleeping boy and dog are also different (as if it were an alternate take) and the zoom effect is more gradual and smooth, rather than a quick and jerky zoom.

'''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.

** 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 first logo - the syndicated episodes were produced during the era that logo was used), and some episodes of ''Starcom: The U.S. Space Force''.
