</gallery>'''Where:''' This is an exceedingly rare logo from a now-defunct home entertainment company; Eureka Video (The Australian branch, not the British one). The reason I thought it was "exceedingly rare"? It lay undocumented for basically 20 years until I found it on a DVD of 'Night of the Living Dead'. Other releases from the time may have also had this logo, but we're currently not sure.

</gallery>Starting on the first half of 2020, I was on a mission of collecting every international variant of the first Disney DVD logo, using sites like [https://archive.org/ archive.org] and even official DVDs in certain areas, this includes both the full-screen and widescreen variants too. As of 2024, most of the international variants have been found except for the Croatian and Slovenian variants. It's currently unknown if these variants actually exist or they were just made up.
Most of these finds were from specific ''Baby Einstein'' DVDs that I found on Archive. As for other DVDs, that's another story entirely.
* The Mandarin variant can be seen on the region 1 DVD of ''Mulan,'' using the widescreen version, while a full-screen version can be seen on a region 3 DVD of ''Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs.'' As for the Australian release of ''Mulan'', it featured a widescreen version of the Arabic and Bulgarian variants.
* The widescreen Korean variant I found on Archive much like every other ''Baby Einstein'' find, the person who uploaded it stated that they found it on the DVD for ''Home on the Range'', however it could be the Region 3 DVD, because the normal American release only has French for an alternate language.
* The Greek version I found on ''Language Nursery'', the Czech variant was also on the same disc, both being full-screen.
* The Slovakian variant was spotted on the Australian DVD for ''The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.'' Although not seen until June 2024, I wouldn't say it's exactly the most rarest variant to find.
* The extremely rare Icelandic and Thai variants were seen on ''Baby Mozart''.
* The Hungarian variant is pretty uncommon, I found it on the region 4 DVD of ''The Lizzie McGuire Movie''.
