4th Logo (July 31, 2021-)
Logo: On a dark background, we zoom out to see a new The Muppets Studio logo, in the same font as the sign in the intro of The Muppet Show and in gold. The logo brightens once it is fully seen as spotlights turn on and shine. Some particles can be seen floating in the background.

Variants:
 * At the beginning of Muppets Haunted Mansion, we zoom through the "O" into the opening scene.
 * At the end of Muppets Haunted Mansion, after the logo animation plays as normal, La Cabra appeared throughout the special pokes its head into the "O" and screams. The goat leaves and we zoom through the "O" like in the opening.


 * On the trailer for Muppets Haunted Mansion, the logo glows purple and flickers over a wallpaper backdrop with what looks like several different Muppet characters included in its design.
