Klasky Csupo: Difference between revisions

* At the July 2012 Comic-Con venue in San Diego, California, the day before Klasky-Csupo was relaunched, Arlene Klasky mentioned that she found, as claimed, "a bunch of fan mashups" of their production logo, in which she also added that the mashups might have been created in part with how many people explained their experience with the logo as kids, and how it "scared" them, so she later decided to give the "robot" character a name: Splaat. Splaat was also given arms, legs and a more noticeable ability to speak; his voice is done by Greg Cipes. The character was originally intended to be in an animated PSA, with Splaat explaining his confusion onto why these mashups exist, and then adding that he is, in fact, ''not'' a robot, but rather an ink splat, which is how his name originated. He stars in his own web series, which you can see [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdZ001zSMD4rJ57m2cOkcSw here]. You can see Splaat's PSA [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j90KFWrrHEQ here], or the full Comic-Con event [https://web.archive.org/web/20150627160035/http://geeknation.com/videos/sdcc-2012-klasky-csupo/ here]. It is also worth mentioning that, according to Klasky, this logo was ''not'' intended to be scary.

* 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 than usual when he speaks). 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, (Wich can be seen [https://youtu.be/oJI5s7CNq20 here]) 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 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 episodes the voice sounds somewhat exhausted) On later episodes, the voiceover has a weird echo/reverb effect.
