* 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. | * Video games from the company have a still, slightly bigger logo that completely skips Splaat.

* There is an alternate variant where the animation is cheaper (the liquid just waves like a flag, there is a black background instead of a static purple background (since the logo transitions from black at the end of the credits [which explains very few holes emerging from the center once the liquid background has splattered onto the screen], and the eyes of Splaat are flipped vertically instead of being animated to look down/up; as a consequence of this, Splaat's eyes are noticeably farther away from his mouth than usual when he speaks). The logo (not the blocks) then blurs and cross-fades to the K-C logo rather than disappearing like a CRT | * There is an alternate variant where the animation is cheaper (the liquid just waves like a flag, there is a black background instead of a static purple background (since the logo transitions from black at the end of the credits [which explains very few holes emerging from the center once the liquid background has splattered onto the screen], and the eyes of Splaat are flipped vertically instead of being animated to look down/up; as a consequence of this, Splaat's eyes are noticeably farther away from his mouth than usual when he speaks). The logo (not the blocks) then blurs and cross-fades to the K-C logo rather than disappearing like a CRT turning off (alongside 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 fades to black. | ||
** On the studio's re-opening video, (which can be seen [https://youtu.be/oJI5s7CNq20 here]), the variant is in 16:9 open-matte 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 before cutting to the right-facing, blue "energy blaster"-type muzzle flash. | |||
* 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''.

* It can be found on episodes such as those of later ''Rugrats'' seasons (starting with the episode "Runaway Reptar"), the short-lived ''Rugrats Pre-School Daze'', ''Rocket Power'', ''The Wild Thornberrys'' (earlier episodes had the "Graffiti" logo), ''As Told By Ginger'', and on ''All Grown Up'', all of which aired on TeenNick's now-defunct block NickRewind; it is also shown in place of the previous logo on airings with split-screen credits. | * It can be found on episodes such as those of later ''Rugrats'' seasons (starting with the episode "Runaway Reptar"), the short-lived ''Rugrats Pre-School Daze'', ''Rocket Power'', ''The Wild Thornberrys'' (earlier episodes had the "Graffiti" logo), ''As Told By Ginger'', and on ''All Grown Up'', all of which aired on TeenNick's now-defunct block NickRewind; it is also shown in place of the previous logo on airings with split-screen credits. | ||
* First introduced | * First introduced on the rather obscure cartoon ''The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald'' (as part of promotion with the fast-food restaurant). This logo was used on K-C films from ''The Rugrats Movie'' to ''The Wild Thornberrys Movie'', though on the first two Rugrats movies' digital prints, it is plastered by the regular variant.<!--Probably the 2022 Blu-ray as well, but wait until release to confirm this--> It's also on the company's website too, and can be found on the main page when first being browsed. | ||
* The 2002 alternate variant is rare; it was seen at the end of ''The Wild Thornberrys Movie'' and the video for the studio's re-opening. However, the remastered version of the variant was first introduced on Gábor Csupó's official YouTube account, and later the 2021 revival of ''Rugrats'', which is available on Paramount+. | * The 2002 alternate variant is rare; it was seen at the end of ''The Wild Thornberrys Movie'' and the video for the studio's re-opening.

* The still variant appears on ''Rugrats in Paris: The Movie'' for PS1, ''Rugrats: Royal Ransom'' for PS2 and GameCube (both with the white background) and ''Rocket Power: Beach Bandits'', also for PS2 and GameCube (with the black background), among others.

* | * 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."). | ||
* The split-screen credits variant made a surprise reappearance in August 2020 on a NickRewind rerun of a ''Rugrats'' episode due to the fact the episode used Nickelodeon's split-screen credits template for the show. | * The split-screen credits variant made a surprise reappearance in August 2020 on a NickRewind rerun of a ''Rugrats'' episode due to the fact the episode used Nickelodeon's split-screen credits template for the show. | ||
