I've always been fascinated by this logo:

So was I when I was little! I grew up with the 1990 version, and I remember being excited for my morning cartoons to end just to see that little logo. I had almost forgotten about it, but seeing it again now puts a smile on my face. ^_^ The Saban logo was another nifty one:

Both are fantastic, I love how the Saban logo transforms and how the Dic one goes through the window : )

I like all the ones before the 1999 versions. Definately a part of my childhood is closing logos, especially this one! (I watched a lot of DiC programs as a kid like Sonic The Hedgehog, Hammerman and Prostars) so I've seen the logo too many times :D

I think Inspector Gadget was DIC's first cartoon, and one of the first things I noticed about it was the end logo, where Gadget "dots the i" with his Gadget Hammer. But for some reason, it almost always got cut off by the TV station, so I hardly ever got to see it.

In the 1999 version singers sang "doo doo doo doo doo DIC!" I find that very pottyesque.

That comercial always scared me as a kid. Don't know why but it did.

Looking at those DIC logos bring back many memories when I was younger. I use to watch many DIC cartoons back then. Inspector Gadget and Heathcliff were my favorite.
