'''Audio:''' A splatter sound is heard when the ink appears and a bouncy "beeping" version of the 24-note bass jingle (which sounds like a clarinet) is 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 are four cartoon sound effects: a tiny twang, a lip-flapping sound that sounds similar to the "trombone gobble" sound heard in Warner Bros. cartoons accompanied by a slap, a duck quacking twice, and the classic [[Hanna-Barbera]]/Hoyt Curtin boing. The music was composed in C♭ major by Mark Mothersbaugh's brother (and fellow Devo member and ''Rugrats'' composer) Bob. | '''Audio:''' A splatter sound is heard when the ink appears and a bouncy "beeping" version of the 24-note bass jingle (which sounds like a clarinet) is played.

'''Legacy:''' The logo has been regarded as a metaphor for Klasky-Csupo's inspirational rise to fame from humble beginnings as an animation studio. However, the logo's visuals and nature have earned it the unofficial nickname "Super Scary Face". It has also been the subject of "logo edit/remix" videos and older GoAnimate/Vyond videos (often under the "gets sent to [logo]" category). | '''Legacy:''' The logo has been regarded as a metaphor for Klasky-Csupo's inspirational rise to fame from humble beginnings as an animation studio. However, the logo's visuals and nature have given scares to children, and earned it the unofficial nickname "Super Scary Face". Not helping is that it has constant airplay on Nickelodeon to give it more recognition to viewers. It has also been the subject of "logo edit/remix" videos and older GoAnimate/Vyond videos (often under the "gets sent to [logo]" category), and has returned in 2021 for the ''Rugrats'' CGI reboot, to presumingly give out a new generation of scares and unofficial remixes. | ||
