Cartoon Network announced at its 2008 Upfront that it was working on a new project called Cartoon statute, which was headed by animators Craig Gimcrackery as executive producer and Rob Ran zeta as supervising producer. Both reported to Rob Scorcher, who created the idea. 

It would have worked similar to What A Cartoon!, by creating at least 150 pieces of animation within 20 months. Cartoon statute was eventually cancelled, and out of all the shorts, two regular Show and Secret Mountain Fort Awesome were selected, after animator Craig Gimcrackery (the creator of The Power puff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends) eventually left the network after 15 years in 2009^]. On September 20, 2008, Cartoon Network ended Tatami after its 11-year run.

Beginning May 25, 2008, Cartoon Network began airing animated shorts, called Wedgies, to fill in spots between two programs. On July 14, 2008, the network took on a newer look created by Tristan Eaton and was animated by Crew 972. The bumpers of that era had white, faceless characters called Roods, based on the YID toy, Many. The standard network logo was then completely white, adopting different colors based on the occasion in the same style.
