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 in and fade 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, the second "K" in a zig-zaggy font made possibly to match with the Letraset Process in the first logo, the "Y" and "CSUPO" set in Futura Bold). During the face's screen time, there are holes in the liquid background (which reveal smudges of the static background that emerged from the center and slided 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. | ||

** In another reply, Andrew S. (here on AVID as BoyOnTheMoon) states how the logo as a whole is a metaphor for the studio's rise to fame from its humble beginnings, quoteː ''"They took nothing (like paper scraps),"'' (represented by how Splaat is created out of 2 paper cutouts) ''"and established their own distinct style that represents who they are (a face representing a style that literally says who they are)".'' | ** In another reply, Andrew S.

When the rooster is finished crowing, the sun brightens, as the rooster mysteriously disappears, and the K-C logo appears in the center. It looks "grungier" than the one in the past three logos, with the word "KLaSKY" being set in Garish Monde, and "CSUPO" being set in Keedy Sans. The logo rumbles, sometimes having overlaid copies over it, and flickers for the remainder as the sun's rays spin. | When the rooster is finished crowing, the sun brightens, as the rooster mysteriously disappears, and the K-C logo appears in the center.
