Music/Sounds Trivia: The music was composed by David Lowe, who is best known for producing and arranging the theme tune to BBC News from 1999.Īvailability: Pretty common. On the 1st short version, the end theme of the show is used or the last 7 notes of the long version's music. Music/Sounds: At the beginning of the long version, there is a big whoosh, then a variety of cartoon sound effects are heard whilst the items come out of the ribbon tunnel, then a grand and majestic 9-note fanfare.
Then the ribbon makes its way to form the spring (or tunnel) and an explosion occurs. Logo: On a striped-shiny-blue background we see a yellow/ orange gradient ribbon flying around from the right edge of the screen. Nickname: "HiT Globe II", "'90s HiT Globe II", "Spinning HiT", "The Fireworks", "Psychedelic Ribbons"

Despite being a co-production with the BBC, don't expect this to pop up on the TV movie The Phoenix & the Carpet. Also spotted on later prints of Basket Fever. It was also used for at least seasons 1-3 of Bob the Builder in the UK. Pablo, the Little Red Fox also had this logo, especially when it was shown on Playhouse Disney in the early 2000s in America, along with Nick Jr in the UK, also in the early 2000s. The logo is seen on Brambly Hedge, Kipper, Archibald the Koala, Ted Sieger's Wildlife, Sheeep, and GoodTimes VHS releases of The Wind in the Willows and The Willows in Winter. At the beginning of a Greek Barney and Friends VHS, the tail end of the Bob the Builder theme song plays over the logo.Īvailability: Rare.In other cases, the end theme of the show would be used.Fine CGI for its time and it has aged pretty well. Also, the CITV URL website is at the bottom right.įX/SFX: The globe spinning. On CITV UK airings of Kipper, the logo is still and the URL and byline are replaced with the "website.
On some prints of Basket Fever, the background is replaced with that of a background of the world with "ENTERTAINMENT PLC" in black instead of white and the below text is omitted.An in-credit variant was seen on Archibald the Koala.A still version of this is seen on VHS releases.There are instances where the logo is just seen with the byline, such as Scandinavian versions of Bob the Builder.There is a version where the URL and byline swap places, such as retail episodes of Bob the Builder.There is a spotlight from the top left of the screen, casting a shadow of the logo on the floor.
Under that we see the text "and "DISTRIBUTED WORLDWIDE BY HIT ENTERTAINMENT PLC". A hole is cut out in between the letters above the I, which contains a spinning globe. Logo: On a shady gray background, we see the word " HiT" in the same font as last two logos in blue, with "ENTERTAINMENT PLC" written vertically next to the T in white. It can also be spotted on the English dubs of D'Ocon Films' TV series, Basket Fever, and the cartoon Captain Zed and the Zee Zone, among others.Įditor's Note: This logo is a huge favorite, thanks to the music. Can be seen on old Where's Waldo/Wally?: The Animated Series tapes from the era. Music/Sounds Variant: A silent version exists.Īvailability: Ultra rare. Music/Sounds: An eerie gong sound leading into a catchy synth theme with bells. Variants: There are 2 short versions: one that has the music intact and starts with the camera moves up and the word " HiT" zooms out, and another one without music and starts when the logo finishes zooming out.įX/SFX: The disc, the lasers, and the word "HiT" coming into place, which are solid CGI effects. As it does so, the four lasers rotate clockwise and " COMMUNICATIONS PLC" types itself in, in blue. Then, the camera pans to an aerial view as the word " HiT", in a tall silver font, zooms out from the center from an angle, then rotates to face the viewers. Then four blue lasers strike it from different directions. Logo: On a gray marble-like background, a silver disc rotates into place.
