'''Audio:''' 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, there is 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 [[ | '''Audio:''' 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.

The music was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh's brother (and fellow Devo member and ''Rugrats'' composer), Bob. | ||

* On 2000-2009 airings of the K-C shows, the boing sound trails off and cuts off into the kids laughing sound (or before August 2001, an airplane-like sound with 7 xylophone notes heard over it) in the [[Nickelodeon]] logo of the time. | * On 2000-2009 airings of the K-C shows, the boing sound trails off and cuts off into the kids laughing sound (or before August 2001, an airplane-like sound with 7 xylophone notes heard over it) in the [[Nickelodeon]] logo of the time. | ||

* On DVD and VHS releases of their Nicktoons as well as the pilot episode of ''As Told by Ginger'', the ending sound effects have a reverb trailing into the Nickelodeon "haypile". This can also be found on the VHS releases of ''The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald'' starting with the third tape, “The Visitors From Outer Space”. | * On DVD and VHS releases of their Nicktoons as well as the pilot episode of ''As Told by Ginger'', the ending sound effects have a reverb trailing into the Nickelodeon "haypile".

* There is a bizarre audio variant found on the Russian-language dub of ''As Told by Ginger'' which has a grumpy-sounding male voiceover speaking over the logo's music: "Klasky-Csupo (pronounced like "zupa"). Blblbllblblblbllblbl. (trying to imitate the lip flapping sound)". The timing varies depending on the episode, as does the tone, as different voiceovers were recorded for every episode this version appeared on (this can be identified through the exhausted-sounding voice in some episodes). In later episodes, the voiceover has a weird echo/reverb effect. | * There is a bizarre audio variant found on the Russian-language dub of ''As Told by Ginger'' which has a grumpy-sounding male voiceover speaking over the logo's music: "Klasky-Csupo (pronounced like "zupa").
