'''Logo:''' On a white backdrop, we see a group of {{color|#B57EDC|lavender}}-colored, crudely drawn human figures excitedly hop around, with two {{color|purple}} shapes in the middle. A {{color|gray}}, blobby monster with horns holding a pitchfork jumps out of one of the shapes as the people run away in fear. The monster runs right and the text shrinks to reveal the stacked name "{{color|purple|JUST ADD MONSTERS}}". The monster flips and lands situated to the right of the name, casting a shadow. The byline "{{color|gray|part of the Argonaut Games PLC Group.}}" appears below. The monster looks at the name and blinks. |

|
|
'''Technique:''' The animation of the figures and the monster, done in CGI. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''Music/Sounds:''' A beatbox tune and sounds of the figures talking to begin, which stops and turns into screaming when the monster appears, the steps of the monster, a "glug" sound when the monster lands next to the logo, and a waterdrop sound as it blinks. |

'''Availability:''' Seen only on ''Kung Fu Chaos'' on Xbox. |
