It is possible that this company may introduce a new on-screen logo. Details: The company has been renamed to Gizmonic Arts, meaning that, if season 14 were to ever see the light of day, The Stinger will likely be altered with the new name. Please do not add ending dates to existing logos or attempt to add a new description until a new logo has debuted. Any premature changes should be reverted immediately. |

Visuals: Over a clip from the movie shown during the episode is the white words on the bottom of the screen, "ALTERNAVERSAL PRODUCTIONS, LLC."
Variants:
* Reptilicus: The wacky "comic relief" janitor sticks his hand in the electric eel tank, comically "screaming" and flailing in pain.
- Cry Wilderness: The logo zooms in to see the villainous hunter Morgan messily and rather disgustingly eating meat that is implied to be a dead baby raccoon.
- The Time Travelers: A lady of the future dances to synth music with colorful lights as one of the scientists awkwardly watches. We get a closer shot of his face as he does a weird smile.
- Avalanche: A police car swerves by a store, knocking a man through the window in slow motion as he screams.
- The Beast of Hollow Mountain: In her destroyed house, a woman throws a wooden pole towards the titular "beast" (a claymation T. rex). It easily chomps it in half.
- Starcrash: In his spaceship, Akton awkwardly smiles and laughs.
- The Land That Time Forgot: A screaming man is taken away in the mouth of a very fake looking Pterodactyl.
- The Loves of Hercules: The Hydra's head lightly bumps into Hercules in what the filmmakers must have intended to be an attack, as he spins into the wall.
- Yongary: The titular kaiju Yongary (played by Cho Kyoung-min) dances with Icho (a young boy) to "rock and roll music". Icho laughs and yells "go Yongary go!"
- Wizards of the Lost Kingdom: Shurka the sorcerer and his wife are startled when their scrying pool explodes. The former points at the pool and screams "DAMN HIM! HE HAS BEATEN ME THIS TIME, BOBINOOOOOO!"
- Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II: Tyor smiles as his biceps grow in size. He says "wow!" David Carradine's character smiles at a woman embracing him saying "it's actually not looking that bad!" Tyor then throws his sword in slow motion.
- Carnival Magic: The "wacky" sheriff who chased Alex the Chimp when he took a car and started driving sits on his police car with a sad look on his face as it gets towed away.
- The Christmas That Almost Wasn't: Sitting in a chair next to a Christmas tree, a stuffed tiger, and a man named Sam, Santa does his trademark "Ho ho ho!" laugh, but in a way that sounds almost maniacal. He nudges Sam and yells "Hey, Sam! This is fun!" before laughing some more. Sam himself joins in to the chaotic laughter.
- At The Earth's Core: A reptilian monster falls off a cliff and explodes.
In season 2 of the Netflix series, also known as The Gauntlet, "ALTERNAVERSAL" and "PRODUCTIONS" are now stacked on top of each other, with "LLC." omitted.
On the Gizmoplex episodes, it is back to the first format minus "PRODUCTIONS", reading "ALTERNAVERSAL, LLC."
Technique: Live-action and whatever "FX" (in the loosest sense of the term) the clips may have.
Audio: Depends on the clip.
Availability: Seen on Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return on Netflix, as well as the revival of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on its specialty streaming service, Gizmoplex.
Legacy: A revival of the Best Brains "stinger" logos used on the original show.
