* On the first two ''The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald'' videotapes and airings of their Nicktoons with split-screen credits, the logo cuts to black just as the "boing" sound effect plays without fading out. | * On the first two ''The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald'' videotapes and airings of their Nicktoons with split-screen credits, the logo cuts to black just as the "boing" sound effect plays without fading out. | ||
* 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 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 that sounds similar to the "trombone gobble" sound heard in Warner Bros. cartoons, 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. | '''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.

* On ''The Rugrats Movie'' and ''Rugrats in Paris'', the audio is out-of-sync.

* 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 | * First introduced on the rather obscure cartoon ''The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald'' (as part of promotion with the fast-food restaurant).

* The 2002 alternate variant 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+. | |||
