SpongeBob SquarePants

:"SpongeBob" or "SBSP" redirects here.
==SpongeBoy Ahoy!==
===1996–1997 (concept)===
SpongeBob SquarePants was originally called SpongeBoy Ahoy! during the early development of the show. The title was scrapped to avoid copyright infringement with a pencil that already used the name "SpongeBoy".
This logo was never finalized and was only seen in a storyboard page of the pilot episode.

===1997 (pilot)===
In 1997, SpongeBoy Ahoy! was renamed SpongeBob SquarePants. This logo was only seen on the original version of the pilot episode in 1997 (which later was re-aired as the first episode of the series under the title of Help Wanted on May 1, 1999).
===1999–present===
====1999–2016====
This logo is what fans call "The Colored DoodleBob." (post-Frankendoodle) Despite the logo being changed slightly in 2016, this logo is still used in fullscreen episodes and on pre-2016 prints of widescreen episodes until the logo was changed that year.
====2016–present====
Beginning in 2016, the "SpongeBob" text in the logo was made all-capital letters, similar to the logo seen on its pilot episode and the text on the intro before this logo appeared. The colors are brighter and the flower underneath the P and the second A on "SquarePants" is removed, too. This is used on newer prints of widescreen episodes.
==Merchandise==
===1999 (prototype merchandise logo)===
A logo used in 1999 promotional material. It was seen on nick.com and on early merchandise (such as a postcard, t-shirt, and notebook). Sometimes the text was yellow.
===2000–2008===
===2003–2005===
This logo was used on merchandise in 2004 and 2005. All Nickelodeon merchandise during this time was given a uniform look. 
===2008–present===
From 2018 onward, this logo is still used as a secondary logo.
====2018–present====
In 2018, the shape was changed so that the Nickelodeon logo can fit inside.
