'''Availability:''' Seen on ''Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day'' on ''HBO Storybook Musicals'' and the music video of "Shadrach" by the hip-hop group Beastie Boys. This logo doesn't appear on the first two seasons of ''The Simpsons,'' as the studio only did the animation for the show and didn't produce it.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Throughout the entire logo, a 24-note synth-cello line (sounding much like an old portable Casio keyboard) plays that adds vibrato to its last two notes. A catchy drum-machine loop (time signature possibly 5/4) and a strange film projector-like sound (sounding much like a bingo machine) play as well; the former stops once the logo zooms out, while the latter stops when the transition to black-and-white starts. Like the second [[Cartoon Network Productions]] logo, there are also corresponding sound effects with the actions of the letters as they pan:

During the formation of “CSUPO”, a scribbling sound is heard (which was omitted in 1992) along with two vintage car honks (abridged to one in 1992), soon followed by a dog “yipping” six times in a high-pitched fashion, similar to a Chihuahua dog’s barking. As the logo zooms out, a warm synth gradually glissandos to G-5 (on a piano scale) alongside a bass note playing in the same key, albeit four octaves lower, the latter of which sustains for the remaining time. A snippet of an elephant trumpet plays twice (reduced to once in the abridged variant) as the logo nearly finishes its transformation to black-and-white.

* The early variant of the logo music appears at the end of the song "Alanis", from Neil Cicierega's mashup album ''Mouth Sounds'' alongside many other logos.

* The 1991 logo's jingle featured the "Handclap" as well as the "toms" and a Closed Hi-hat being played on the Roland TR-909 drum machine, as well as bass notes on a Casio keyboard. The 909 clap sounds were heard during the logo's sequence.

* It is rumored that Mark Mothersbaugh (the frontman of Devo and composer for ''Rugrats'') did this logo's music. It was actually done by [[Film Roman]] founder, Phil Roman.

* For the abridged variant, the music is higher pitched, sped-up, and out-of-sync as it begins at where the second K should form.

'''Technique:''' CGI done on a Silicon Graphics computer with Softimage software, plus a chroma-keyed live-action hand and computer animation for the face. For the still variants, none. Limited animation for the Splaat-only variant.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A splatter sound when the ink appears, and a bouncy "beeping" version of the 24-note bass jingle from the 1991 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 fading in early 2000s style techno theme, made using samples from Zero-G's ''Chemical Beats'' sample library. A camera shutter sound can be heard when the sun brightens. There's a "POP!" sound when the rooster opens its eyes, as well as a robotic high-pitched male voice saying "Wake up!". Like the first logo, there's a similar-sounding projector-like sound heard as the blocks fly around. A faint robotic whisper of the company name can be heard at the end. The music for this logo was done by co-founder Gábor Csupó.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The same sound effects from the end of the 3rd logo (without the boing) as well as some different sound effects when Splaat appears, such as a bonk sound, and a crash sound.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' At the end of episode 1 of ''Scraatch-O-Rama'', "I'm RoboSplaat", before the logo appears, a DJ playing the turntable presses a hot cue on it that plays what seems to be a prototype version of the logo's audio. The cartoon sound effects of the 3rd logo start at the twang, the duck only quacks once, and the crashing sound is different. The glass shattering is absent, and instead is more like a bell twanging combined with a boing, and to top it all off, all of the logo's sounds play at a lower pitch (which is most likely the fault of the DJ playing the sounds slower than normal).

'''Availability:''' It's a special logo created for the web series ''RoboSplaat''. However, it doesn't appear on the ''Rugrats'' 2021 reboot, which uses the 3rd logo instead. Uncertain if it will appear on future projects from the company.
