2nd Logo (Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams variant) (August 7, 2002, 2003)
Logo: Pepino suddenly zooms toward the viewer and rides down the "T" and the goes to the "U" with the letters representing a rollercoaster. The camera zooms out to reveal the text from before as it shines. Then, the word "STUDIOS" disappears as Pepino leaves the logo. The text comes lower and it becomes a text on a gate, wich segues to the opening scene of the film

3rd Logo (July 25, 2003-June 10, 2005)
Logo: We zoom down to Pepino sitting in a chair in a black/ systemized room. He then puts on some 3D glasses (in some cases, sunglasses) and pushes the button on the chair, angering it as he gives a thumbs up gesture. He starts riding and flying, revealing the text in the same font as the previous logos. Pepino crashes through the company name seconds later.

Variants: On The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D, Pepino wears Sharkboy 3D glasses while the chair turns into a shark and the background is a metal wall.

4th Logo (September 12, 2003-mid-2010s?)
Logo: On a black background, we see a huge explosion. The company's name zooms out to face us, which is superimposed over the explosion. At the end, the logo burns up.

Variants:
 * Starting in 2010, the logo was given an enhanced and high-definition look. Later in the logo's run, "STUDIOS" was changed to a black color, with Machete having it during the prologue.

5th Logo (Shorts variant) (August 21, 2009)
Logo: Over a black background, we see Pepino using a black box. This morphs into rocket wings in his back, making him a rocket boy. After a few moments, the camera zooms away, revealing the company logo. He flies towards the logo, which shines like the first two logos.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Only seen on Shorts.

6th Logo (Spy Kids: All the Time in the World game variant) (August 9, 2011)

7th Logo (Spy Kids: All the Time in the World movie variant) (August 19, 2011)
Logo: We zoom towards the "D" on a black background as Pepino holds a clock. He gets rid of a lot of junk and gets a drill, making it a time machine. It time machine then expands to cover him up as the hands move closer and start spinning. It then goes back into his hands as they becomes a propeller, while the camera zooms away, revealing the company's logo (now more simple, with the gradients removed and the word "STUDIOS" in a different font). Pepino then flies around and off the screen. Unlike the previous logos, the logo in this one doesn't shine.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The sounds corresponding to the animation.

Availability: Seen only on Spy Kids: All the Time in the World.

8th Logo (30 Years variant) (September 22, 2023)
Logo: On a black background, the camera quickly pans over to Pepino sitting on the "T" in "TROUBLEMAKER", in a similar pose as the Spy Kids variant. He then does his classic eye move as he pulls out a guitar. The "T" then flies backwards as another Pepino drumming with a different guitar appears while sitting on top of the "A", which also flies into place. The "L" flies in front of the camera as we see the very bottom of the letter, with another Pepino sitting upside down on it, playing another guitar. Right afterwards, the "O" in "STUDIOS" flies in for a brief close-up of yet another Pepino strumming a note on the guitar. The letters all fly backwards with all the Pepinos on them, as the rest of the letters start flying in to form the Troublemaker Studios logo. Lastly, the "U" in "TROUBLEMAKER" flies in front of the camera with a Pepino sitting on top of it, playing a more varied set of notes. As the letters finish zooming out, all the Pepinos stay where they are, with the one on the "T" in "TROUBLEMAKER" turning his head to face the camera. All of the Pepinos except for the one on the "L" make a drumroll with their guitars as the logo slowly zooms in, while "30 Years" fades in below the fully-formed Troublemaker Studios logo, in a chalkboard-styled font. They all stop before the logo then fades out.

Technique: CGI animation by Christopher Olivia.

Music/Sounds: A whoosh at the very start, then all the different Pepinos start playing music based on the "Spy Kids Theme" composed by Robert Rodriguez, with one of the Pepinos drumming along using their guitar. Some more instruments join in around the last note, before all the Pepinos do their drumroll.

Availability: This is an exclusive variant to celebrate the company's 30th anniversary, seen on Spy Kids: Armageddon.
