Note: This will include HIT Wildlife, Parthenon Entertainment, Sky Vision, NBCUniversal Global Distribution, and Sky Studios, because they all related to Sky's original programming.

Background
HIT Wildlife (formerly known as Wild Media) was a subsidiary of HIT Entertainment that produced and distributed nature and wildlife programming. The subsidiary was sold to a newly formed company called Parthenon Entertainment in 2002, which was founded by the former managing director of HIT Wildlife, Carl Hall. The rights to the programs are now owned by Sky plc, who acquired Parthenon Entertainment in 2012, and was rebranded as Sky Vision. In April 2019, it was announced that Sky Vision's distribution business would be folded into Comcast's NBCUniversal Global Distribution. On October 1, Sky Vision Distribution officially merged with NBCUniversal Global Distribution. Production assets were transferred to newly founded Sky Studios in the same year.

1st Logo (1997-2001)

2nd Logo (2001-2002)
xuVg4_Sf7EM Nicknames: "Wildlife Globe II", "Underwater Globe"

Logo: On an ocean background with ripples, the camera rotates from the bottom to the front of a blue 3D HIT logo with "WILDLIFE" in a darker blue font replacing "ENTERTAINMENT PLC". The website link "www.hitwildlife.com" appears below in a white cursive font.

FX/SFX: The camera panning and the rippling of the water.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: It was only used for a year, and is extremely rare. The only known program that featured this logo was the documentary War Secrets: Italy Forgotten Invasion, which can be found on FilmRise History on YouTube. Re-runs of other programs from the company might have this logo plastered with Parthenon Entertainment's logo.

(2003-2012)


Nicknames: "The Green Horse", "The Feathers"

Logo: On a white or black background, we see two feathers float. The feathers then morph into a horse, with the text "Parthenon" and the smaller text "ENTERTAINMENT LTD" fading in.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the URL reads "www.parthenonentertainment.com" appears underneath the logo.
 * An in-credit version exists.
 * There is a version where it has no name on it.

FX/SFX: The feathers and the morphing.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Uncommon. The black background version was seen on some shows and reruns of ''Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks'' on Qubo, plastering the Entara Ltd. logo. The version with the white background can be seen on its documentaries and shows such as Hornets: A Sting in the Tale, Billy, City of Friends and digital prints of Jakers on Amazon and Tubi.
