The pilot first aired on October 17, 1998, nine days after Splaat was introduced on ''Scared Silly''. It's possible that logo may have been set to be introduced in this pilot, but for unknown reasons was changed back to the 1991 logo, while keeping the new logo's audio intact. All other episodes with this logo use the normal music/sound variant. | ||

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. | ||
