The "clapperboard" logo concept was also introduced on the said date, being the concept used by the company in the next twenty-one years. The logo would normally open like a clapperboard showing a sketchy animation of characters from the belonging show with a red background behind (although color of the background varied in some occasions).

Launched:

September 6, 2010

On September 6, 2010, the logo had a major and drastic redesign to fit with the 2010 "CHECK it 1.0" rebrand. The classic 1992 logo was replaced with three white squares ordered in the form of stairs with a fourth square placed next to it and the full name of the company underneath it. Normally the fourth square would pop a fragment of a scene from the belonging show, while other shows, including 2012-2013 episodes in seasons 1-4 of Ben 10: Omniverse (until the episode "Max's Monster") it would just stay blank. In the live-action shows, the square wasn't included at all.

This logo debuted in the first season of Regular Show and it was used until November 27, 2015, with its last appearance being the Over the Garden Wall pilot "Tome of the Unknown" which released on Cartoon Network's website on May 19, 2015 and uploaded on YouTube channel of the network on the said date of November 2015.

Launched:

On May 21, 2013, the clapperboard logo was brought back one year and two months after it was last used on a finale episode of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien in March 31, 2012, but the CHECK it style is now used in the new logo to fit with the 2013 "CHECK it 3.0" rebrand, using the 2010 version of the Cartoon Network checkerboard logo as a replacement of the 1992 logo. It has the same function as the 2001 logo, but instead of using an animatic of the characters it uses scene fragments like the 2010 logo for Regular Show, Adventure Time and 2014 episodes in seasons 5-8 of Ben 10: Omniverse (starting with the episode "Something Zombozo This Way Comes") used the same clip from early seasons.

Although this isn't always the case, since some modern shows like Steven Universe, Steven Universe Future, Over the Garden Wall, and We Bare Bears uses an animatic like the 2001 logo; while shows like OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes uses a full made original animation and shows like Clarence and The Powerpuff Girls reboot use live-action.

This logo debuted in Clarence 2014 pilot that was first released online on 2013, replacing the 2010 logo in most shows, and it has been used by the company since then. It is concurrently used with the 2021 logo since December 14, 2021.
