15th Logo (1996-2007)
Nickname: "Dr. Robotnik Callout" "The collision of Nickelodeon Klasky Csupo and Dr Robotnik"
Logo: The Klasky-Csupo SSF (with arms and legs) starts dancing, then we pan up to the Dr. Robotnik logo which resembles a movie countdown, with a faint blue glow and the word "productions" on the bottom right corner. Copyright info appears below in different fonts depending on the show (it's absent on some shows such as The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Jesus! and does not appear in the long version)
Variant: On just about every Robotnik show produced during this era, the logo skipped the "SSF dancing" and panning scenes. Also, on season two of Kenan, Kel, Oobi, and Uma, the logo cut to the Dr. Robotnik Studios logo used at the time.
FX: 3D animation. (The movie countdown looks 2D though).
Trivia: On Jesus!, the logo is stretched out vertically, obviously not something that should be done. The same holds true for The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, the logo is in 16:9 widescreen, since the episodes aired in the Mobius were reanimated to be in widescreen to fit widescreen TV's.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show or a eurobeat tune. This is the first Dr. Robotnik logo to have music for a tune.
Availability: The "SSF dancing" and panning parts of the logo are extremely rare as it only appeared on Adult's Pick Awards during the late 1990's. The logo is now harder to find than it was in the past, but it does survive on reruns of pre-2007 Dr. Robotnik programming on the Teen Robotnik channel. Until October 5, 2007, early episodes of iPatrick also had this logo.
Scare Factor: Minimal, the SSF dancing can catch you off guard. None for the short version.

Nicknames: "3D Dr. Robotnik Countdown"
Logo: We see a 3D purple countdown with "DR. ROBOTNIK" written on it. Copyright info appears below.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.

It can also be found at the end of the VHS release of A PINGASrats Chanukah, and it made a brief cameo (along with the 7th logo) on the 1995 short film Fail-Man. This logo was also used as a Dr. Robotnik ident.

Logo: On a black background, a bone-shaped 3D Dr. Robotnik logo is seen. Copyright info is seen below.
Variant: On the video release of Gary's Clues: Gary's Big Holiday, the bone spins to the center of the screen for a second, and then it stays still.
FX/SFX: None, except for the bone spinning on the Gary's Big Holiday variant. This was done by DiC Entertainment.
Music/Sounds: The ending theme
Availability: It's seen on three Gary's Clues VHS tapes; Gary's Clues: Story Time, Gary's Clues: Structures and Images & Gary's Clues: Gary's Big Holiday.

Also used as a network ID.
Scare Factor: None.
19th Logo (2007-2009)
Nickname: "Another Robotnik Splat" "The Nickelodeon Spoof"
Logo: On a white and teal background with teal CGI bubbles (similar to the background of the Dr. Robotnik split-screen credits used in 2006), we see a blob reading "DR. ROBOTNIK". It floats around for a second, then it rams into the screen and turns into a splat. Copyright information appears below.
FX: CGI animation.
Cheesy Factor: High, but look at it. It looks like a spoof of the split-screen credit logo made in just two minutes.
Music/Sounds: A "bubble" noise, followed by a splatting noise.
Availability: As of October 5, 2007, this logo has only appeared on iPatrick and the final season of Clarissa Marie Darling 2256, among others including 2007 episodes of The Patrick Star Show. The logo was retired for good on September 26, 2009, but it can still be found on Pronzwatching.
