- On Where's Dinner, A Plate Is In The Logo.
- On Medical Challenge Pole Damage, Snap wears the doctor's suit. On the final episode, he is hooked on life support on a hospital bed throughout the last credit roll. The credits run as usual over a picture Snap, with life support equipment attached on either side. You can hear the beeps of the heart monitor over the end theme, too. After the credits complete, the company name fades in and Snap flatlines and dies, with a long, high-pitched beep heard. This variation is especially rare, as reruns of the finale plastered it over with the typical credits.

- On A Very Lenny & Fred Christmas, Snap (in his Fred Restorerfish costume) comes in with Bob Whitehead (a person who works at Ultimate Enterprise Studios, and in his Lenny Restorerfish costume). Then, Snap says "Merry Christmas, Bob". and Bob says "Merry Christmas to you too, Snap". Then, Snap flies out, while Bob walks out. That logo appeared after the Monster Productions logo on December 24, 2012, January 10, 2013, and February 27, 2014 airings of A Very Lenny & Fred Christmas.
- On the Chalkzone episode "The Big Blow Up" and The Fairly Oddparents episode "Channel Chasers", the white word "Television" replaces "Studios".

- On 2013 film, The Magical Pokemon: Mew, Bob's new web series Lenny & Fred Megaforce, and the upcoming series Lenny & Fred: Ultimate Extreme Challenge!, Snap gets sick, his cheeks puffing out and vomits blue paint on the logo as the music abruptly stops and winds down. We hear a crowd yelling "EWWWWWWWWW!" and groaning in disgust as Snap gives a sick look and runs off. This variant is seen after the closing credits.
- On the Chalkzone episode, Double Trouble, the video of Snap (in his 1998-2009 appearance) holding a microphone and sing "Midnight Train". Also, word "Television" replaces "Studio".

Since 2005, this logo is now spotted on the current airings of Chalkzone after the Frederator Studios logo, plastering the Nickelodeon Productions logo. The Medical Challenge Pole Damage variant is seen before the Mike Collington and His Band "Brick" logo.
Editor's Note: Snap is the one of favorites of many. The Medical Challenge finale variation may be extremely upsetting.
6th Logo (1987-2012)[]
Nicknames: "GLITTER! :D", "The Thing and the Face of Doom", "Evil Thing and Face", "Evil Ultimate Enterprise Studios", "The 90's Ultimate Enterprise Studios", "Extremely Scary Face", "PinchFace’s 2D Animated Cousin"
Logo: On a white background with glitter, which quickly changes to red, the yellow text "The Ultimate Enterprise Studios" zooms out in the teeth-like thing. When it goes to it's desired place, a mysterious flash occurs. The BG changes to black and the text becomes blue. Then the words "A Crystal Franks Productions Inc Company" appears below it. Suddenly, the distorted eyes and teeth that looks like a face from the from the Dynamikun logo appears out of nowhere and starts laughing like a alien.
Variants:
- On Mega Man, the logo is in warp speed.
- On the 2000 VHS release of Berlin, the logo is still and next to it on the left are the words "Sponsored by" with the Taco Bell logo below "Sponsored by".
- Rarely enough, the glitter would sometimes be replaced with a Grid
Trivia: It made a surprising appearance in the early airing in the Pokémon episode "Island of the Giant Pokémon" in the US in 1998. It seems that there was an editing mistake. It appears that the Ultimate Enterprise Studios was having problems with the logos due to a possible lawsuit and used this logo. Luckily, in 1999, the 4Kids logo plastered this horrid logo in current airings of the show. Also, it is the last logo to be used until 2010.
FX/SFX: The zoom in, and the flash. For the Berlin variant, none.
Music/Sounds: It starts off with an eerie bass humming sound, which is joined by a rising synth chord. It's followed by An ominous, warbling Moog synthesizer piece followed by a alien laugher that sounds g-major-ish at the end. A Pop sound can be heard when the face appears.
Music/Sound Variants:
- On the 2000 VHS release of Berlin, John DiMaggio (the voice talent of Bender from Futurama) says "In the presentation of Ultimate Enterprise Studios... sponsored by Taco Bell!" There is no music in the variant.
- On Mega Man, the music is even faster and it’s held longer, the alien laughter is now warped than usual.
- Sometimes, an announcer saying "In the presentation of Ultimate Enterprise Studios" can be heard.
Availability: Rare, seen on their shows such as Mega Man, Snap's World, Yuji Jitsu and Dynamo during the time. It was also seen on the VHS version of Berlin that was released in 2000.
Editor's Note: It was known to be considered one of the scariest logos created for an animation studio, thanks to the face along with its ominous effects. However, it's less scary for those who have expected to see it.
7th Logo (2012-2017)[]
Nicknames: "The Revival of the Ultimate Enterprise Studios", "Ultimate Enterprise Studios Returns!", "The 2010's Ultimate Enterprise Studios" "White Ball"
Logo: On a purple background, we see blue text "The Ultimate Enterprise Studios" appearing on the 3D white ball. The words "A Crystal Franks Productions Inc Company" is seen below it. In 2011, the ball was designed to look like a purple disco ball.
Variants:
- On the trailer and TV spots of The Magical Pokémon: Mew, the Pokémon Mew flies across the logo. Mew is designed by Arkeis himself.
