'''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 places onto the stain a yellow card with a mouth on it, while a pair of eyes (which seem to wiggle like Jell-O) zoom to above the mouth, forming 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 a font similar to Linux Libertine or Times New Roman, "S" in Futura Book, | '''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.

During the face's screen time, there are holes in the liquid background (which reveal smudges of the static background that emerge from the center and slide off-screen from many other 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. The logo remains on-screen for a few seconds, and then we either fade out or cut to black. | ||

* This logo comes in three 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 three 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''). | ||
* A filmed variant exists on ''The Rugrats Movie'' and ''Rugrats in Paris: The Movie''. The animation is a bit choppier and in a more washed-out color scheme, moves at a much faster pace, and is zoomed in to fill the screen. | * A filmed variant exists on ''The Rugrats Movie'' and ''Rugrats in Paris: The Movie''.

* On NickSplat's airings of their shows, the logo starts when Splaat is on-screen, silent due to the credits being superimposed, and it's in warp speed. The logo also seems to glitch out, kind of like a TV screen. It is also worth noting that the filmed version logo is used, considering the graininess at the end of the logo. | * On NickSplat's airings of their shows, the logo starts when Splaat is on-screen, silent due to the credits being superimposed, and it's in warp speed.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A | '''Music/Sounds:''' A splatter 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 with significant amounts of clipping to make it louder (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 and ''Rugrats'' composer), Bob. | ||
