In 1982, '''Klasky-Csupo''' (pronounced "CLASS-key CHEW-po") was formed in a bedroom apartment in Los Angeles, California. The name of the company derives from the last names of the two producers, Omaha native Arlene '''Klasky''' and Hungarian-born animator Gábor '''Csupó'''. During ''The Tracey Ullman Show''<nowiki/>'s days, Klasky-Csupo produced the animated ''Simpsons'' shorts, consisting of 48, before ''The Simpsons'' became a full-time network series in 1989. After those initial skits, Klasky-Csupo worked with [[20th Century Fox Television]] and Matt Groening to produce the first 3 seasons of the animated sitcom until 1992, when [[Film Roman]] took over production. In 1990, the duo cut a production deal with [[Nickelodeon]], and there they made ''Rugrats'', one of the first three Nicktoons, and one of the network's successful animated series. After that, Klasky-Csupo made other successful animated shows such as ''The Wild Thornberrys'', ''AAAHH!!! Real Monsters'', ''As Told By Ginger'', ''Duckman'' (for USA Network and [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Network Television]], distribution currently held by CBS), and ''The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald'' (a promoted cartoon available exclusively at McDonald's restaurants from 1998 to early 2001), among others. The company also produced ''Spy vs. Spy'' cartoons for Cartoon Network's ''MAD''. However, shortly after ''The Rugrats Movie'' came out in 1998, Nickelodeon and Klasky-Csupo started to get into contract disagreements combined with the rising popularity of the then-new ''SpongeBob SquarePants''. But the straw that broke the camel's back was with the 2003 release of ''Rugrats Go Wild!'', which was a financial disappointment. As a result, many shows from the company were cancelled in the following year, and ''All Grown Up'' was put on hiatus in 2006 before officially being cancelled in 2008. The company went dormant for a while, but Arlene Klasky and Gábor Csupó officially revived the company in 2012 and announced that they were working on some "top secret projects". On July 16, 2018, then [[Paramount Players]] and current Nickelodeon CEO [[Tollin/Robbins Productions|Brian Robbins]] revealed that the pair, along with co-creator Paul Germain, officially confirmed that a revival of ''Rugrats'' was in the works, which would include 26 new episodes, and a new live-action movie, both featuring the babies re-imagined in CGI form, until the latter was pulled from the release plan. The revival debuted on the [[Paramount+]] streaming service in 2021.

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.

* A version exists on the 1998 pilot of ''The Wild Thornberrys'' where the logo plays as usual, but with the 1998 "Robot" logo audio instead. The pilot aired on September 1, 1998, and the "Robot" logo was introduced on October 8, 1998, so the "Robot" logo might had been intended to debut on this pilot, but for unknown reasons, was changed back to the "Graffiti" logo, but keeping the "Robot" audio intact. Interesting, but still very strange, not to mention that all other episodes with this logo use the normal music/sound variant.

'''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, with the "K" in a font like Futura, "L" in Permian Serif, "a" in Linux Libertine, "S" in Futura Book, The second "K" in a zig-zaggy font made possibly to match with the Letraset Process in the first logo, Thr "Y" in Futura Bold, and "CSUPO set in Futura bold.). 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.
