* Video games from the company have a still, slightly bigger logo which completely skips Splaat. All of the boxes and letters in "'''K'''L'''''a'''''S'''K'''Y" (except for the "Y", which is smaller) are medium gray, the letters in "'''CSUPO'''" are white, and "'''INC.'''" (like in the first logo) is on the right of "CSUPO". The background can be either black or white. | * Video games from the company have a still, slightly bigger logo which completely skips Splaat.

* There is an alternate variant where the animation was cheaper (e.g. the liquid just waves like a flag, there's no static purple background [which explains very few holes emerging from the center once the liquid background has splattered onto the screen], the eyes of Splaat are flipped vertically instead of being animated to look down/up). There is a black background instead of a static purple background (since the logo transitions from black at the end of the credits); the logo blurs and cross-fades to the KC logo rather than disappearing like the TV turning off (along with the the purple "'''Y'''" in "'''K'''L'''''a'''''S'''K'''Y" zooming in over the regular "Y") and, to top it all off, Splaat constantly looks at the viewer (in the normal logo, Splaat stares at the blocks, but the blocks are placed directly in the center of the screen, so it appears that Splaat is looking at the viewer) throughout his screen time and smiles as if he accomplished something before the logo wipes to black. On the studio's reopening video, the variant is in 16:9 full screen at 1080p high definition, it is cut to where the hand drops the magazine clippings, the background of the clippings is in a lighter shade of yellow, and after we hear the duck quacking twice, the logo flies off to the right of the screen. The "boing" sound effect is not heard. This variant would later be remastered for 2021, which uses the same animation, but with glitchy computer screen effects placed over it. The Klasky-Csupo logo then zooms in at the last half-second and phases off the screen via a blue laser. | * There is an alternate variant where the animation was cheaper (e.g. the liquid just waves like a flag, there's no static purple background [which explains very few holes emerging from the center once the liquid background has splattered onto the screen], the eyes of Splaat are flipped vertically instead of being animated to look down/up,) as well as Splaats eyes being noticeably farther awar from his mouth as usual).

* This logo comes in 3 versions: a standard 4:3 version (for TV shows and full frame versions of their film output, though some films have slight letterboxing), a 1.55:1 widescreen version (matted to 1.85:1 for theatrical features released in the US (1.66:1 in Europe) and to 1.78:1 for both home video releases of those films), a 16:9 HD version (for the studio's reopening video and the remastered version) and a 2.35:1 scope version (seen at the end of ''The Wild Thornberrys Movie''). | * This logo comes in 3 versions: a standard 4:3 version (for TV shows and full frame versions of their film output, though some films have slight letterboxing), a 1.55:1 widescreen version (matted to 1.85:1 for theatrical features released in the US (1.66:1 in Europe) and to 1.78:1 for both home video releases of those films), a 16:9 HD version (for the studio's reopening video and the remastered version) and a 2.35:1 scope version (seen at the end of ''The Wild Thornberrys Movie''). | ||
* A filmed variant exists on ''The Rugrats Movie'' and ''Rugrats in Paris: The Movie''. The animation is choppier and in a more washed-out color scheme, and moves at a much faster pace. | * A filmed variant exists on ''The Rugrats Movie'' and ''Rugrats in Paris: The Movie''.

'''FX/SFX:''' The "animated" paper-clippings that form the face, the static background, the ink, and the print logo. All CGI animation, done on a Silicon Graphics computer with Softimage software, plus what appears to be cut-out animation for the moving hand and the moving of the face's lips. | '''FX/SFX:''' The "animated" paper-clippings that form the face, the static background, the ink, and the print logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A "splattering" sound when the ink appears, and a bouncy "beeping" version of the 24-note bass jingle from the 1989 logo plays during Splaat's screen time, except the first measure of the jingle has been cut, meaning that only 18 notes are played. Another "beepy" instrument plays the same jingle in the background, only it comes in a quarter measure late. The company name is stated in a robotic voice (hence the "Robot" nickname. The voice was supplied by the "Boing" novelty voice in the text-to-speech program used on a PowerMac G3 workstation).

After Splaat finishes talking and the company logo appears, we hear several cartoon sound effects: a tiny doing, a lip-flapping sound, a duck quacking twice, and the classic [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons|Hanna-Barbera]]/Hoyt Curtin boing. | ||

* On DVD and VHS releases of their Nicktoons as well as the pilot episode of ''As Told by Ginger'', the ending sound effects have a reverb trailing into the Nickelodeon "haypile". This can also be found on the VHS releases of ''The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald'' beginning with the third tape, “The Visitors From Outer Space”. | * On DVD and VHS releases of their Nicktoons as well as the pilot episode of ''As Told by Ginger'', the ending sound effects have a reverb trailing into the Nickelodeon "haypile".

* There is a bizarre audio variant found on Russian airings of ''As Told by Ginger'' which has a grouchy-sounding male voiceover speaking over the logo's music: "Klasky-Csupo (pronounced like "zupa"). Blblbllblblblbllblbl." The timing varies depending on the episode, as does the tone, as different voiceovers were seemingly recorded for every episode this version appeared on. On later episodes, the voiceover has a weird echo/reverb effect. | * There is a bizarre audio variant found on Russian airings of ''As Told by Ginger'' which has a grouchy-sounding male voiceover speaking over the logo's music: "Klasky-Csupo (pronounced like "zupa"). Blblbllblblblbllblbl. (possibly trying to imitate the lip flapping sound)" The timing varies depending on the episode, as does the tone, as different voiceovers were seemingly recorded for every episode this version appeared on. (you can tell because in some episode the voice sounds somewhat exhausted) On later episodes, the voiceover has a weird echo/reverb effect. | ||
* Another audio variant found on a Russian airing of ''The Wild Thornberrys'' features a male voiceover (different from the one above) saying, "Film Klasky-Csupo Incorporated" after Splaat speaks. | * Another audio variant found on a Russian airing of ''The Wild Thornberrys'' features a male voiceover (different from the one above) saying, "Film Klasky-Csupo Incorporated" after Splaat speaks. | ||
* On a Nickelodeon USA airing of ''Rugrats'' on March 4, 2000, the logo has the audio from the previous logo. Oddly enough, the audio itself was shortened down significantly causing the logo to be silent a little after the final product is formed. | * On a Nickelodeon USA airing of ''Rugrats'' on March 4, 2000, the logo has the audio from the previous logo.
