Availability: Seen on games listed above.

Scare Factor: None for the still variants but low for the PINGASrats: Search for Tails variant, as the swirling and zooming in of the logo as well as the jingle can catch some off guard.

2nd Logo (1998-2001)

Nickname: "The Footprint"

Logo: The standard 1998 Dr. Robotnik Movies logo, from The PINGASrats Movie, except it is in print view. No indication of an interactive media indicator whatsoever.

Scare Factor: None.

3th Logo (1998-2000)

Logo: We see a wind-up mouse that says "DR. ROBOTNIK" falling from the top of the screen to the bottom. Then it goes back and forth and then drives up the wall and falls back down as the wind-up handle on its back stops to spin.

Variant: There is a still version with the mouse bigger and at the center of the screen.

FX/SFX: The mouse falling from the top to the bottom, the mouse going back and forth, driving up the wall, falling back down, and the wind-up handle stops to spin.

Music/Sounds: A boing sound as the mouse falls down, then the sound of the mouse and the whoosh handle spinning. then a "KaBONG", then the sounds of droning stopping to spin, or the theme song of the game. None for the still version.

Availability: The still version appears on Robotniktoons Racing for Game Egg Color. The animated version appears on Robotnik in the Jungle: Animal Adventures, PINGASrats: Totally Sonic (Game Egg Color Version) and three games for PC: WerewolfCreature, PINGASrats in Japan, and PINGASrats Adventure. Did also air as a network ID on Dr. Robotnik around 1998.

Scare Factor: None for the still version, but low to medium for the animated variant, as the sounds of the mouse and the fast movement may catch you off-guard.

4th Logo (2004)

Nickname: "Splat from the Sky"

Logo: We move forward as many purple raindrops fall from the skies and create splats on the ground. Then we zoom very closely to the vertical Dr. Robotnik splat, so the name even doesn't fit screen.

FX/SFX: Splats falling down.

Music/Sounds: Sound of falling wind.

Availability: Rare. Seen on The Patrick Star Show Typing.

Scare Factor: None.

7th Logo (2007-2009)

Nickname: "The Planet"

Logo: On a black background, we see the Dr. Robotnik splat logo of the time. Then it turns into a star-like object with an orbit around it. It then turns into a planet, with abstract objects, buildings, and creatures. It spins for a second, then zooms in, then zooms back out. An arrow appears from behind the planet, and "wipes out" the planet so the splat logo is back to itself on a black background. Then it fades-out.

FX/SFX: The splat turning into all of the things, the planet spinning and zooming, the arrow appearing and "wiping out" the planet, produced at Zmation Animation Studios.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 7th Nickelodeon Games logo.

Availability: Seen on Dr. Robotnik games from the time, such as The Patrick Star Show: Globs of Doom, Patrick Star's Truth or Shape, and Gadget Boy 2918: Super Game Day for Mobius Wii.

Scare Factor: Minimal. The thunder might scare you, but this is kind of a cool logo.

8th Logo (2009- )

Logo: We see the man-like "r" letter falling and making some tricks on the letter "i" from the current logo. Then it jumps down and we see other letters forming the Dr. Robotnik logo lying on the ground. The animation doesn't match the current Dr. Robotnik logo on TV.

FX/SFX: The letters in CGI or Flash animation. This and the next two logos were produced by Robert Kohr.

Music/Sounds: Several hopping bumps, followed by the Sonic SatAM jingle.

Availability: Common. The still version is seen in a lot of games on minor platforms like Eggendo DS, Egg Phone, iEgg Phone Touch and iEgg System, and also on iPatrick 2. The animated version is seen only on The Connor Clones Adventure for PS3. The "movies" variant appears on The Last Railway Controller. The black background version is much rare and appears on Patrick Star's Boating Bash.

Scare Factor: Minimal.

9th Logo (2011)

10th Logo (2011- )

Availability: Uncommon. It's seen on all games starting from Robotniktoons EMLB, and newer licensed titles, like Dr. Robotnik Dance.
