'''Technique:''' It's CGI animation, done on a Silicon Graphics computer with Softimage software, plus a chroma-keyed live-action hand and computer animation for the face. | '''Technique:''' It's CGI animation, done on a Silicon Graphics computer with Softimage software, plus a chroma-keyed live-action hand and computer animation for the face. | ||
'''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 twang, a lip-flapping sound, a duck quacking twice, and the classic [[Hanna-Barbera Cartoons|Hanna-Barbera]]/Hoyt Curtin boing. The music was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh's brother (and fellow Devo member), Bob. | '''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.

* This logo also appeared on the short-lived ''Rugrats'' spin-off ''Rugrats Pre-School Daze''. This did not appear on Klasky-Csupo's first live-action series, ''What's Inside Heidi's Head?'', because it was a series of interstitials as opposed to a series, which is made by Noggin (now as "Nick Jr."). | * This logo also appeared on the short-lived ''Rugrats'' spin-off ''Rugrats Pre-School Daze''.

'''Legacy:''' This is a logo known to scare people, earning the nickname "Super Scary Face". Nonetheless, this appears to be a metaphor for Klasky-Csupo's rather inspirational rise to fame from humble beginnings as an animation studio. | '''Legacy:''' This is a logo known to scare people, earning the nickname "Super Scary Face".

'''Music/Sounds:''' A very loud early 2000s style techno theme, made using samples from Zero-G's ''Chemical Beats'' sample library. one of which can be heard [https://youtu.be/aUF4KjKvZF4?t=3883 here] at 1:04:43. A camera shutter sound can be heard when the sun brightens. 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.
