After watching the infamous "Scary" Klasky-Csupo logo, I wondered: What if SpongeBob was made by the company who made Rugrats and many other shows? Obviously it was have that logo at the end, but what about in style?
 
Their mouths would be on their chins.
 
It would look ugly

That would be different. SpongeBob would be kind of like Rugrats I guess. The weird thing is, is that I always thought that the Klasky-Csupo logo looked similar to SpongeBob.
 
It'd be ugly, but not in an awesome and hilarious way. I'd never watch it.
 
Yeah some of the Nick shows were pretty ugly, but they also did early Simpsons. Stuff like Bart Gets an F and Black Widower were pretty cool. It wouldn't necessarily be ugly. (Though it would be interesting to imagine)
 
I guess it would have ended with all of the other Klasky-Csupo shows in the mid-2000s, because didn't the studio mostly shut down? Unless SpongeBob's popularity kept them in business or something.

Also it would be ugly.

Aren't the weird character designs part of Klasky-Csupo's charm though?

If SB were made by that company, or were even designed by them..... man, my curiosity has piqued! Spongebob is a show about weird-looking sea critters who live in a nautical setting. A show that takes place underwater would of course be filled with wavy lines, squiggles, curves, and weird shapes.

I think it'd be awesome-looking. Maybe not as overtly cute, but that style could lend itself well to the weird setting of the show.

Now.. imagine if the entire show looked exactly like Stephen Hillenburg's concept art! There's something I'd love to see!

For people who like Klasy-Csupo's style I guess the weirdness is part of the charm, but it never appealed me.

A one-off short in Hillenburg's extremely loose original designs would be interesting - for a special occasion/retrospective, not an actual episode - but I suppose the reason the designs were tightened up in the first place was to make them easier to animate.
