1st Logo (February 1, 1999-April 1, 2000)
Visuals: On a black background, there is a yellow crudely-drawn cup sitting on a saucer, with four orange lines emanating from the top. Next to it we see the words "CUPPA COFFEE" in orange, with "ANIMATION" below in a small orange-outlined oval.
Variants:
- On the 1999 TV special Snowden's Christmas, the cup and saucer are now in a yellow outline, and cast a shadow. "CUPPA COFFEE" is in white and stacked below the cup, and "ANIMATION" is black in a yellow oval.
- On the 1999 pilot for Super Why, the variant from Snowden's Christmas is in black-and-white over a yellow background.
Technique: None. [possible misuse]
Audio: The ending theme of the show.
Availability: Seen on Crashbox, Snowden's Christmas and the 1999 Super Why pilot.
2nd Logo (August 24, 2002-November 8, 2009)
Visuals: On a blue background, an orange cup and saucer pops up. Then the words "CUPPA COFFEE" appear with "ANIMATION", "STUDIOS" or neither below. 4 black lines appear above the cup similar to the first logo.
Variants:
- On Tigga and Togga, copyright information is below the logo instead of the company name.
- On Bruno, the logo appears small and in-credit below the logo for the show.
Technique: Flash animation.
Audio: A "Woo-hoo!" sound and a brief banjo tune, followed by a kid laughing. Bruno has a loud brass sound playing over the logo.

3rd Logo (August 17, 2009-November 7, 2011)
Visuals: Similar to the last logo, but the white words "CUPPA COFFEE STUDIOS" appear one-by-one. "CUPPA" is large and white, while "COFFEE" is smaller beside it, and "STUDIOS" is above.
Technique: Flash animation.
Audio: A pouring sound or the closing theme.
Availability: Seen on Glenn Martin, DDS and the first half of season 1 of Ugly Americans.
4th Logo (October 6-November 17, 2010)
Visuals: On a beige background, there is a same cup and saucer with the words underneath, "CUPPA COFFEE STUDIOS," but with a more handdrawn version of the second logo's font. The coffee is poured to the top of the cup throughout. Everything squiggles (ala the Tom Snyder Productions logo).
Technique: Traditional animation.
