Original Design 2012
The original design of the Circles of Light stage debuted at the Dallas, Texas (13364 Montfort Dr) location in August 2012. It featured a 32m or 16m Chuck E. bot (32m at Montfort) on a platform with a barrier with lights on it. There were many circles that lit up (hence the name Circles of Light.), with a large circle behind Chuck E, which had a line vertically going through the middle. 7 locations had this design installed, and 6 are still in operation, though Montfort does not have the Chuck E. bot.

Updated Design 2012-2014
This design was the second version to come out, it debuted at the San Diego, California (3414 College Ave) location in December 2012. The large circle from the previous design was changed to a large circle with multiple lines going horizontally through the circle. It featured a 32m or 16m Chuck E. bot, or no bot at all.

Updated Design #2 2014-2021
This design was the third design to come out, it debuted most likely between June and September 2014. This design removed the large circle and replaced it with multiple circles like what is seen on the left side of the stage.
