The next five squares have a scribble write the stenciled "CSUPO" on them (in Helvetica); the first three letters are blue, the "P" is teal when it is being drawn but it becomes orange once it's complete, and the "O" is purple.

Everything described up to this point happens at a very fast pace. After this, we zoom out, during which "INC." appears letter-by-letter in red. Then we see the complete logo arranged with "KLaSKY" on top of "CSUPO". In "CSUPO" , the "C" is now red, the "S" is now yellow, and the "U" is now blue. The logo then turns black and while the "Y" turns purple a second later. | ||

During the formation of “CSUPO”, a scribbling sound is heard (which was omitted in 1992) along with two old-timey car honks (abridged to one in 1992), soon followed by a dog “yipping” six times in a high-pitched fashion, similar to a Chihuahua’s barking. As the logo zooms out, a warm synth gradually glissandos to G-5 (on a piano scale) along with a bass note playing in the same key, albeit four octaves lower, the latter of which sustains for the remaining time. An elephant trumpets twice as the logo nearly finishes its transformation to B&W. | During the formation of “CSUPO”, a scribbling sound is heard (which was omitted in 1992) along with two old-timey car honks (abridged to one in 1992), soon followed by a dog “yipping” six times in a high-pitched fashion, similar to a Chihuahua’s barking.

* Video games from the company have a still, slightly bigger logo | * Video games from the company have a still, slightly bigger logo that 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. | ||
* 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 a consequence of this, Splaats eyes are noticeably farther away 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 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. | * 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 a consequence of this, Splaats eyes are noticeably farther away from his mouth than usual when he speaks).

* 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''). | ||

* 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. (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) | * 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").

* 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.
