Klasky Csupo: Difference between revisions

* 4th Box: A light blue cone with rings surround it that turns into a crayon with a layer on it, then turns into a silhouette of a lizard, then turns into a silhouette of a snake, which turns into an "S" in the Futura Light font that sits in the bottom left of its box.

* <u>s</u>: A fast paced “twirling” sound.

'''Logo:''' Over a static purple background, a black ink stain on a blue background with a liquid effect appears by splattering all over the screen. A hand passes by and drops magazine clippings of eyes and a mouth in yellow-orange bars onto the liquid background (the eyes seem to wiggle like Jell-O) to make a face. The face then says the company name as white blocks fly out from his mouth. The blocks arrange themselves to form the K-C logo (like before, but refined to match the print logo). During the face's screen time, there are holes in the liquid background which reveal some of the purple background that emerge from the center and slide off screen from many different directions. After that, the background and the face disappear like a CRT television turning off, and the "'''Y'''" in "'''K'''L'''''a'''''S'''K'''Y" turns purple and flashes faintly.

* Strangely, this logo appeared on early airings of the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' episode "Wet Painters/Krusty Krab Training Video". This was an editing mistake made by Nickelodeon when they first started using split-screen credits; normally, Nick makes custom credits for each of its series and its producers. K-C was the only company at the time, besides Frederator, that produced multiple Nicktoons, and Nick created a generic one for these shows [which mentioned Klasky and Csupo as producers and included Splaat], but, on the said episode of ''SpongeBob'', Nick accidentally used the K-C split screen credits for that episode. This was fixed in 2006 and the United Plankton Pictures logo has been seen on the episode ever since, but it's still one of the oddest editing mistakes ever made.  

* On the VHS releases of ''Rugrats in Paris'', the "computer voice" uttering the Klasky-Csupo name is actually closed captioned. The same happens on ''The Wild Thornberrys Movie'', but Splaat's voice is referred to as a "computized voice". Additionally, the sound effects after Splaat's disappearance are also closed captioned (including the lip-flapping sound being referred as a "voice blubbering" and the duck quacking sound labelled as "novelty horn honks").

* On October 2015 to May 2017 airings of ''Hey Arnold!'' on The Splat, this logo appeared instead of the [[Snee-Oosh]] logo for the same reason stated above. This was fixed by the time the programming block was rebranded into "NickSplat". Strangely, only TeenNick SD was affected with this error, as TeenNick HD had the correct logos.

* 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, (Which 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.

* 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'').

* On the first two ''The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald'' tapes and airings of their Nicktoons with split screen credits, the logo cuts to black just as the "Boing" sound effect plays.

* Debuted on the rather obscure cartoon ''The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald''. This logo was used on K-C films from ''The Rugrats Movie'' to ''The Wild Thornberrys Movie'', though on the first two Rugrats movies' Netflix prints, it is plastered by the regular variant. It's also at the company's website too, and can be found on the main page when first being browsed.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A very loud techno theme, made using samples from Zero-G's ''Chemical Beats'' sample library. A camera shutter sound can be heard when the sun brightens. Before the rooster wakes up, a voice says "Wake up". Also, there's a, "POP!" sound when the rooster opens its eyes. Like the first logo, there's a projector-like sound heard as the blocks fly around. A faint robotic whisper of the company name can be heard at the end.
