against the background of the *Pinwheel House* from *Pinwheel*.

**Variant:** On the 1981 VHS *The Pinwheel Songbook*, and the pre-1982 episodes of *Pinwheel*, there is no mention of Nickelodeon, leaving only the Warner Amex copyright notice.

**FX/SFX:** The finishing of the scrolling credits.

**Music/Sounds:** The end theme of the show or in *The Pinwheel Songbook*, it plays the "Pinwheel Night Fever" instead.

**Availability:** Extinct. It was seen on *Pinwheel* episodes from 1979 until its end in 1984, and continued appearing on reruns until 1990; however, the show has had little to no exposure since Nickelodeon stopped airing it three decades ago. The variant appears on the 1981 VHS *The Pinwheel Songbook*.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 2nd Logo (1990-August 17, 2008)

File:Nickelodeon (1996, Real Monsters).png
**Nicknames:** "The Haystack", "The Haypile", "The Nick Haystack", "The Nick Scribble", "The Fuzzy Logo"

**Logo:** On a black background, we see the Nickelodeon logo in the shape of an Template:Font color haystack or scribble. Copyright info is seen below.

**Copyrights:**

* 1990-April 13, 1995: "(C)(year) MTV Networks"
* 1994-1997: "(C)(year) Nickelodeon"
* 1995-2005: "(C)(year) VIACOM" or "(C)VIACOM (year)"

**Variants:**

* On Season 1 episodes of *Hey Arnold!*, the copyright notice is in a chalk-esque font.
* On the original 1990 *Rugrats* pilot, the logo is darker, probably due to quality issues.
* On Season 1 episodes of *Ren & Stimpy*, the logo is slightly redder.
* Starting in late 1997, the copyright stamp for the "Nickelodeon" variant was extended to read "Copyright (year) Nickelodeon, a programming service of Viacom International Inc. (NAME OF SHOW) and all related titles, logos, and characters are trademarks of Nickelodeon, a programming service of Viacom International Inc."
* A variant with no copyright info exists.

**FX/SFX:** None.

**Music/Sounds:** None, or the ending theme of the show.

**Music/Sounds Variants:**

* On most episodes of *Rugrats*, *AAAHH!!! Real Monsters!*, *The Wild Thornberrys*, *Rocket Power*, *As Told by Ginger*, and *All Grown Up!*, a certain soundbite from the episode is heard, although it is not present on earlier seasons.
* On the first two seasons of *AAAHH!!! Real Monsters*, the tail end of the Klasky-Csupo "Graffiti" logo's theme plays over this logo.
* On *Doug*, the Jumbo Pictures music transitions into this logo.
* On the *Rugrats* episode "The Baby Vanishes / Farewell, My Friend", we hear an audio engineer saying (tying into how in the end credits for said episode, Tommy and Chuckie are heard arguing over whether the basement in their home is scary or not): "Gonna keep you going even longer than that next time, we'll do it one more time." This was often taken out of future Nickelodeon airings by way of split-screen credits, but was later put back in on The '90s Are All That airings prior to its rebranding as The Splat.
* On the original pilot version of *The Ren & Stimpy Show* episode "Big House Blues", calliope music is heard since the ending theme does not segue into the Carbunkle Cartoons and Spümcø logos.
* On a DVD release of *The Amanda Show*, this logo has the buzzing sounds of the 1996 Nickelodeon Productions logo.
* On DVD and VHS releases of *The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius*, this logo has the same audio as the variant of the 1st Nickelodeon Animation Studios logo with the show's theme and Jimmy saying "Gotta blast!".

**Availability:** Very common. Even though this logo has become a victim of plastering with the 2009 logo, it is still very easy to find on VHS and DVD releases of Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. series of the time.

* The MTV Networks copyright can be seen on VHS and DVD releases of *Rugrats* episodes from the era (including the 1990 pilot "Tommy Pickes and the Great White Thing"), early episodes of *Rocko's Modern Life*, 1991-94 episodes of *The Ren & Stimpy Show* on VHS (though the Seasons 1 and 2 DVD edit it out; however, it's intact on the "Seasons 3 and a Halfish" and "Season 5 and Some more of 4" DVDs), and VHS and DVD releases of pre-1994 episodes of *Doug*.
* The Nickelodeon byline is rather rare, as it was used for a short time along with being used concurrently with the Viacom copyright from 1995-96; it can be seen on VHS tapes of some *Rugrats* episodes from the era, VHS tapes and DVDs of *The Ren & Stimpy Show* episodes from the era, VHS tapes of some *Rocko's Modern Life* episodes from the era, and season 1-3 episodes of *AAAHH!!! Real Monsters* on VHS. It was also seen on *The Angry Beavers* 1994 pilot "Snowbound".
* The Viacom variant is extremely common and can be seen on all Nicktoons until 1997, when they began using the Nicktoons/Nickelodeon Animation Studios "splat" logo. At that point, only Klasky-Csupo shows such as *Rugrats*, *As Told by Ginger* and *The Wild Thornberrys* used this logo, along with *SpongeBob SquarePants* (current prints of the latter use the 1997 Nicktoons logo instead).
* The 1997 variant is rare and can only be found on late-1997 episodes of *Rugrats* and *AAAHH!!! Real Monsters*.
* The 2011-12 Shout! Factory DVD releases of the first three seasons of *Rocko's Modern Life* have this logo intact.
* The "Big House Blues" variant is very rare, since not only does the Seasons 1 & 2 DVD edit it out as well as the other episodes, but when aired, the episode shares "In The Army"'s credits.
* This logo also appeared on the obscure *Rugrats Pre-School Daze* series, which can be found as a bonus feature on some *Rugrats* DVD releases. It was also intact on MTV airings of *The Ren & Stimpy Show*.
* Strangely, some animated Nick shows did not use this logo, such as *KaBlam!* and *Pelswick* which used the 1996 "Lightbulb" logo. Also, this strangely plasters the 1996 "Lightbulb" logo on some prints of *Drake & Josh* and *Zoey 101*.
* This logo used to be preserved on airings of shows on The '90s Are All That block on TeenNick (now NickRewind), but due to the block later adopting Nickelodeon's "credits on the last scene" format, it is no longer seen and is plastered by the 2009 logo.

**Editor's Note:** If one never saw this logo before, they could get confused on what the haystack is supposed to be. Nonetheless, this logo is a favorite of many, despite heavy plastering in recent years.

### 3rd Logo (1990-1995)

Nickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki.pngNickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki.jpeg
**Nickname:** "Nickelodeon Splat"

**Logo:** On a black background, we see an orange/dark orange splat with "***NICKELODEON***" across it. Copyright info appears below, but sometimes it doesn't.

**FX/SFX:** None.

**Music/Sounds:** The ending theme of the show.

**Availability:** Rare. It appeared on *Wild & Crazy Kids!* and also on various Sony Wonder-released Nickelodeon tapes, such as *Ren & Stimpy: Classics II* and at least one VHS release of *The Adventures of Pete & Pete*.

### 4th Logo (February 9, 1991)

File:Nickelodeon (1991).png
**Nickname:** "Nickelodeon Heart"

**Logo:** On a black background, we see the copyright stamp "c 1991 MTV NETWORKS, INC." at the bottom of the screen in white. Then, the Nickelodeon logo in the shape of a heart slides down into the middle while rotating 90° counter-clockwise.

**FX/SFX:** The Nickelodeon heart sliding down. Basic animation.

**Music/Sounds:** The closing theme of the special ("I'll Give a Lot of Lovin' to You" by Shackwacky).

**Availability:** Extinct. It only appeared on original airings of the *Adventures of Pete and Pete* special "The Valentine's Day Massacre", which was later repackaged as a standard *Pete and Pete* episode with this logo replaced by the 8th logo (it's plastered by the 2nd logo on the 2005 Season 1 DVD).

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 5th Logo (in-credit) (June 1, 1991-June 29, 1992)

File:Nickelodeon (Salute your Shorts).png
**Logo:** Over a black background, we see the text "IN ASSOCIATION WITH NICKELODEON". A copyright stamp is displayed below.

**FX/SFX:** None.

**Music/Sounds:** The closing theme of the show.

**Availability:** Rare. It can be found on reruns of *Salute Your Shorts* on NickRewind.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 6th Logo (August 15, 1992-April 16, 1994)

Nickelodeon banner Logo.jpegNickelodeon (1992).jpeg
**Nickname:** "Nickelodeon Banner"

**Logo:** A Nickelodeon logo in a wavy "banner" shape appears. The copyright info fades in below.

**FX/SFX:** The fade-in or none.

**Music/Sounds:** The closing theme of the show.

**Availability:** Rare. This appears on the first 3 seasons of *Are You Afraid of the Dark?*, and is preserved on its DVD releases. It also appears on early episodes of *Nick News*.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 7th Logo (July 10, 1993-April 1, 1995)

Nickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki (1).pngNickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki (2).png
**Nicknames:** "Nickelodeon Jack", "Wireframe Jack"

**Logo:** On a black background, a 3D jack-shaped Nickelodeon logo spins in from the top left corner of the screen and moves into place. Copyright info is shown below.

**Variants:**

* On the first season of *All That*, the logo is a bit smaller, appears on a Template:Font color background, and is reanimated to have a more seamless appearance.

**FX/SFX:** The spinning.

**Music/Sounds:** The closing theme of the show.

**Availability:** The variant with the black background is extremely rare and was first used as an ident for Nickelodeon. It appeared on *Roundhouse*, which occasionally airs on NickSplat (it is unknown if it keeps this logo intact or plaster it with the 2009 logo). This logo is also intact on *Roundhouse* episodes featured on the *Nick Snicks Friendship* and *Nick Snicks the Family* VHS tapes from the early 1990s. The blue background variant is extinct and was last seen in 2005, when season 1 episodes of *All That* were rerun on Nickelodeon. However, seeing that *All That* is currently rerunning on NickRewind, this may be still be intact on those season 1 episodes if the last scene credits aren't present. Otherwise, expect the 2009 logo to plaster it.

**Editor's Note:** The jack doesn't seem to be rendered properly in the original variant, as you can see some lines around it.

### 8th Logo (July 4, 1993-September 27, 2009)

Nickelodeon (1993-).jpegNickelodeon Balloon (1994).pngNickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki (3).pngNickelodeon (1994).pngNickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki (4).pngNickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki (5).png
**Nicknames:** "The Orange Balloon", "Nickelodeon Balloon"

**Logo:** On a black background, the Nickelodeon logo which resembles a hard-to-describe ovular balloon shape turns, pops up, and stays on screen. Copyright info is shown below, or sometimes not.

**Variants:**

* On Nick News, the logo does not turn; it just pops.
* A still version exists.
* An in-credit variant for Germany (with the words, "im Auftrag von...", which translates to ("in behalf of") appears on *The Ren & Stimpy Show*.

**FX/SFX:** The pop-up or turn.

**Music/Sounds:** The closing theme of the show or none.

**Availability:** Rare, despite 16 years of usage. It appeared on *The Adventures of Pete & Pete*, various *Nick News* episodes from 1993 to 2009, *Weinerville* (which last aired when NickSplat was still The Splat) and the *1994 Kids Choice Awards*. It also appeared twice on an ad for *A Rugrats Vacation* on some assorted Nickelodeon and Paramount tapes from the period, and a VHS of *It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown*. Much like many of these logos seen, this was also used as a network ID.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 9th Logo (1992-1993)

File:Nickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki (6).png
**Nickname:** "Nickelodeon Elephant"

**Logo:** On a black background, we see an orange elephant with the word "***NICKELODEON***" on it. The elephant raises its trunk.

**FX/SFX:** The elephant raising its trunk, looks cheaply chroma-keyed and the word is off-centered.

**Music/Sounds:** The end theme of the show, along with the elephant trumpeting. This is the first Nickelodeon logo to have its own sounds.

**Availability:** Extinct. Was only seen on *The Nickelodeon Wild Side Show* which was last rerun on Noggin (now Nick Jr.) on March 31, 2002.

**Editor's Note:** This logo looks like it was made on a poor budget.

### 10th Logo (September 18, 1993-2004?)

File:Nickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki (1).jpeg
Template:YouTube

**Nicknames:** "Orange Stuff", "Nickelodeon Stuff", "The Palindrome Logo"

**Logo:** During the opening of a show, many 3D Nickelodeon logos of different shapes and sizes cover the screen (like the balloon, crayon, leaf, hat, crown, gear, top, key, etc.) before receding to let the opening continue.

**FX/SFX:** CGI animation.

**Music/Sounds:** The opening theme of the show.

**Availability:** Extremely rare in the U.S.; uncommon in Canada, Australia and the UK. It appeared on early episodes of *Rocko's Modern Life* and *KaBlam!*. Newer airings of these shows often cut this logo out, but it has been left intact on the *Rocko's Modern Life* episodes "Power Trip/To Heck and Back" and "Down the Hatch/Road Rash" on TeenNick's NickSplat. It also appeared on *Kenan and Kel*, *Doug*, *Hey Arnold!* and *Rugrats* reruns. It's still intact on Canadian and Australian airings of *Rocko's Modern Life* and *The Ren and Stimpy Show*.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 11th Logo (April 10-December 16, 1994)

File:Nickelodeon Productions (1994).jpeg
**Nicknames:** "Nickelodeon Pencil", "The Orange Pencil"

**Logo:** On a black background, we see an Template:Font color 2-D pencil with an eraser with "***NICKELODEON***" in the "Balloon" font. The copyright info is shown below.

**FX/SFX:** None.

**Music/Sounds:** Either the ending theme or the 1993 Jumbo Pictures/Ellipse Programme music.

**Availability:** Extremely rare. It appeared on 1994 episodes of *Doug*, but most of the time, this logo is plastered over by the 3D Nick "Lightbulb" on television and the NAS "Haypile" on VHS. This was allegedly seen on least one 1994 *Doug* tape, but it's unknown which one used it.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 12th Logo (1994-1997)

Nickelodeon Productions (1994) (1).jpegNickelodeon Balloon Dog (1997).png
**Nickname:** "Nickelodeon Balloon Dog"

**Logo:** On a black background, we see an orange, hot-dog-shaped balloon inflating. The balloon then transforms into a balloon dog. The word "***NICKELODEON***" is on the balloon dog.

**FX/SFX:** CGI animation.

**Music/Sounds:** A blowing sound, followed by a stretching sound. Otherwise, the end theme.

**Availability:** Was very rare, but now its becoming easier to find, due to the latter being rerun numerous times. It was seen on two Nickelodeon TV movies, *Oh, Brother! Starring Stick Stickly* and *Stick Stickly in "Stuck"*. The former (almost) never reruns on TV anymore, but can be found on YouTube. It was also used as a network ID.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 13th Logo (October 1, 1994-September 28, 1996)

Nickelodeon Productions (1994-1996).jpegNickelodeon - CLG Wiki.jpegNickelodeon Productions (1994) (2).jpeg
**Nickname:** "Nickelodeon Cap"

**Logo:** A 3-D Nickelodeon cap spins in. The copyright info is shown below.

**Variant:** There is an animated version in which we see some 3D hats fall (to the top) of the sky. Among those items is the Nickelodeon hat, and it stops when the whole hat is in view.

**FX/SFX:** CGI animation.

**Music/Sounds:** The closing theme of the show.

**Availability:** Very rare. Appears on the last two seasons (before the reboot in 1999) of *Are You Afraid of the Dark?* and the first two seasons of *The Secret World of Alex Mack*, both of which preserve the logo on DVD releases. The logo also appeared on some episodes of *Nick News* from this time period. The black background version was also used as a Nickelodeon ident. The animated version is extinct, because it was only used as a station ID.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 14th Logo (September 4, 1994-January 17, 1997, 1998-2004)

Nickelodeon (1996).pngNickelodeon Atom ID (1994).jpegNickelodeon Productions (1995).jpeg
**Nickname:** "Nickelodeon Atom"

**Logo:** Over a black background, we see an orange atom surrounded by three Template:Color, yellow-green, and Template:Color particles; flying from the top right to the bottom left. It flies to the center and turns to reveal "***NICKELODEON***". The copyright info is shown below.

**Variant:**

* On season 2 of *All That* and season 1 of *Kenan & Kel*, the logo cuts to the Nickelodeon Studios logo.
* Sometimes, the copyright info is absent.

**FX/SFX:** CGI animation.

**Music/Sounds:** The closing theme of the show, or silent, as in the case of *All That*. On at least one episode of *All That*, the buzzing sound from the Nickelodeon Productions "Lightbulb" logo (22nd logo on this page) was used, possibly due to an editing error, as it is unlikely it was an actual variant. *Kenan & Kel* has Kenan Thompson's spiel for the Nickelodeon Studios logo for the show play over this logo.

**Availability:** First used as a Nickelodeon station ID. It appeared on some episodes of *The Adventures of Pete and Pete*, on season 2 episodes of *All That* (including the *Good Burger Special*) and season 1 of *Kenan & Kel* (which is available on iTunes), the rarely seen *Nickelodeon Sports Theater with Shaquille O'Neal* (which last aired on Nicktoons in 2014) and on pre-September 2000 split-screen credits airings of *Are You Afraid of the Dark?*.

**Editor's Note:** None.

Nickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki (2).jpegNickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki (7).png
**Nickname:** "Nickelodeon Scribble II"

**FX/SFX:** None.

**Music/Sounds:** The ending theme of the show.

**Availability:** Extremely rare. It's seen on *Nick News* episodes from this period, which airs on NickSplat on very rare occasions. It was last seen on November 5th, 2016, when an episode was rerun on NickSplat to commemorate the 2016 US presidential election.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 16th Logo (October 1995)

File:Nickelodeon Cup.png
**Nicknames:** "Who Loves Orange Soda?", "Kel Loves Orange Soda!", "Nickelodeon Cup"

**Logo:** On a black background, a 3D cup spins around, with the words "***NICK***" on it. The cup then falls, causing an orange liquid with the "***NICKELODEON***" logo on it to come out. Copyright stamp is seen below.

**FX/SFX:** CGI animation.

**Music/Sounds:** The end theme for *Oh, Brother!*.

**Availability:** Ultra rare. It was seen at the end of the Nickelodeon special *Oh, Brother! Starring Stick Stickly*, which can be found on YouTube.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 17th Logo (January 2, 1995-September 20, 1998, March 3, 2000-September 3?, 2000)

File:Nickelodeon Housefly.png
**Nicknames:** "The Housefly", "Nickelodeon Fly"

**Logo:** On a sky background with moving clouds, an orange housefly comes from the the top of the screen and flies around in circles twice before stopping right in front of us. We see "***NICKELODEON***" in its familiar font on the fly.

**Variant:** On March-September 2000 airings of *KaBlam!*, *The Amanda Show*, and *Rocket Power* episodes using the split screen credits, the background is black and a copyright notice is below. The fly buzzing noise is absent.

**FX/SFX:** CGI animation.

**Availability:** Rare. It was seen on season 3 episodes of *Legends of the Hidden Temple* and the black background version was seen on the aforementioned shows. It was also used as a station ID.

**Editor's Note:** This logo might be considered scary to anyone with pteronarcophobia.

### 18th Logo (June 25, 1995, September 5, 1995-July 28, 1998, September 21, 1999, March 3, 2000-September 3?, 2000)

Nickelodeon Planet Logo.pngNickelodeon Planet ID.png
**Nicknames:** "Orange Saturn", "Nickelodeon Planet", "Nickelodeon Saturn"

**Logo:** Over a black background, a Saturn-shaped Nickelodeon logo flies up from the bottom of the screen, orbited by two moons. It settles in the center of the screen, and "**PRODUCTIONS**" in white and spaced-out, pops up from the bottom, settling under the logo.

**Trivia:** This logo may be a nod to the T-shirt worn by *Rugrats* character Chuckie Finster, which has the planet Saturn on it, although this logo never appeared on any *Rugrats* episode or video release.

**Variants:**

* On *Space Cases*, the word "**PRODUCTIONS**" is gone.
* On the rare German television special, *Nickelodeon Goes to Germany*, at the end of the *AAAHH! Real Monsters* segment, a strange sign saying "Ab 1. Juli (Coming July 1)" appears above a giant dollhouse. As the camera zooms into the dollhouse, the sign flies away, and an early version of this logo is seen, lacking the word "**PRODUCTIONS**" and copyright info.

**FX/SFX:** The flying logo.

**Music/Sounds:** The ending theme of the show.

**Availability:** Rare. Seen on *Space Cases* and *Global Guts*. The latter can be found on iTunes. It was also seen after March-September 2000 Nickelodeon USA airings of *Doug* following the split-screen credits. This logo was also used as a station ID.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 19th Logo (May 11, 1996-August 23, 2008)

Nickelodeon Productions (1999).jpegVersion with the copyright stampNickelodeon Productions (1999).png*1999 KCA*Nickelodeon Productions (Romeo!).pngVersion without the copyright stampNickelodeon Proudctions (2001).pngRotateNickelodeon Productions (2005).pngSplat
**Nicknames:** "Nickelodeon Lightbulb", "The Orange Lightbulb", "The Glowing Lightbulb", "Electric Lightbulb", "Dizzy Lightbulb" (for the *1999 KCA* variant)

**Logo:** On a black background, a Nickelodeon logo shaped like a lightbulb is seen, with a green electric charge surrounding the bulb forming the word "Template:Font color" on the bottom-right side. The copyright information is below with various fonts depending on the show (it's absent on some shows such as *Romeo!*).

**Variants:**

* *Just for Kicks* has a trademark bug next to the lightbulb.
* For the 1999 Kids Choice Awards, a long version exists wherein the lightbulb is in a light purple and dark purple lighted environment with green and purple swirling shapes. The lightbulb is first seen as if it reads "***NOEDOLEKCIN***", meaning the logo was being viewed in "backwards vision". The camera zooms slightly away from it and then zooms fast to the bulb. Then, the entire thing flips and the lightbulb is in its correct position and now reads "***NICKELODEON***" correctly, and the camera zooms away and back to the bulb again, acting as if either the lightbulb is acting like a yo-yo or the camera is acting like the lightbulb is a trampoline. Finally, when the camera zooms to the bulb a third time, the electric charge and the word "Template:Font color" come in to their respective places. The camera then zooms away and finally stops. The lightbulb flexes itself for a few seconds and purple and red stars spin around the logo (in a "dizzy"-like situation). Finally, the lightbulb glows and the background flickers to black, with the electric charge and the word "Template:Font color" disappearing for a split-second before finally, changing into the already-formed standard logo, complete with the usual buzzing sound.
* On German prints of *Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide*, the lightbulb is replaced with an orange Nick splat logo.
* An in-credit variant was spotted on an episode of *All That*.
* There's a different variant where the logo is rotating from right to left over footage from the *SpongeBob SquarePants* episode "Jellyfishing", then it gives a bright light.

**FX/SFX:** None or the electric charge flickering for the normal logo. 3D animation for the Kids Choice Awards variant. All of these are great CGI, done by Studio City.

**Music/Sounds:** A buzzing sound. The volume of the buzzing varies with each show.

**Music/Sounds Variants:**

* Some shows just played the ending theme.
* On *Mr. Meaty* and on later episodes of *The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo*, the buzzing sound played over the end theme (this audio variant also appeared on split-screen credits of *Mr. Meaty* where this logo was plastered by the 3rd Nickelodeon logo).
* The *1999 Kids Choice Awards* variant had a deep-sounding synth tune (sounding almost like it was played on a didgeridoo) followed by a cymbal crash and twinkling noises, which segues into the normal buzzing sound.

**Availability:** It was very common during the era it was used, but now it's rare thanks to plastering.

* The animated version with the purple background is extinct and was only used for the 1999 Kids Choice Awards.
* This logo can be seen at the end of *Kenan & Kel* (starting with season 2) along with reruns on TeenNick as part of NickSplat (not falling victim to the split-screen (and recently the "over the last scene") credits), as well as pre-2007 Nick series such as *Drake & Josh*, *Unfabulous*, and earlier episodes of *iCarly*.
* Strangely, some animated Nickelodeon shows used this logo in favor of NAS logos, such as *KaBlam!* and *Pelswick*. This logo is not usually preserved on DVDs and VHS tapes of Nick shows, and is usually replaced by the 1990 NAS haypile logo.
* This logo is still retained on instant streaming prints of Nick shows from the time, such as from Paramount+. It's also preserved on VOD prints of *Drake and Josh* and *Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide*.
* While Schneider's Bakery shows eventually stopped using this logo in favor of the 2007 logo, *Just Jordan* kept this logo until the show ended in 2008.
* It appeared when NickSplat aired *Double Dare 2000* in celebration of Double Dare's revival during the week of June 29, 2018.
* Extinct for the *Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide* variant as German TV channels commonly cut off end credits entirely.
* The short version of this logo also made a surprise appearance on the *Where Nick Was Made* video, uploaded by the Splat/NickRewind YouTube channel on May 26, 2016.
* This logo was also plastered by the 1990 haypile logo on some prints of *Drake & Josh* and *Zoey 101*.
* This too was also used in tandem with the 2006 and 2007 "CGI Splat" logos and the 2008 lightbulb logo.
* The rotate variant was rarely seen on seen during the Nickelodeon portion on Studio City's 2001 Demo reel.

**Editor's Note:** This is generally a well-known and memorable logo among fans of 1990s and 2000s Nickelodeon.

**Availability:** Rare. Seen on some episodes of *Doug* including the Christmas special, plastering the "Pencil" logo. Also seen on some *SpongeBob SquarePants* episodes plastering the Nicktoons "Splat", but most prints nowadays either use the "Splat" or the haystack logo. It made a brief cameo on the 1995 short film *Foil-Man*. It was also used as a station ID.

**Editor's Note:** None.

**Nicknames:** "The Weird Object", "Abstract Nickelodeon"

**Logo:** Against a teal background, various hard-to-describe versions of the Nick logo bounce around the screen (usually "Cloud 2"), eventually stopping in the center. Copyright info (which varies in font depending on the show it follows) appears below. Sometimes, the copyright info can be seen as early as the logo is animating.

**Trivia:**

* This logo is based on the main on-air look Nick used from September 4, 2000 to October 10, 2002, which was designed by Burning Settlers Cabin.
* According to the designers, each shape has a name. See picture captions above for details.
* Also, on 2010-13 airings of the Klasky-Csupo-produced Nicktoons with split-screen credits, between the transition of K-C's "Splaat" logo and the 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo, you can actually see a split-second of this logo (just the teal background).
* The kids' laughing audio used from August 2001 to September 2006 was used on the *Wunschpunch* episode "Terrible Toddlers".

**FX/SFX:** The "bouncing", which is really just the logo appearing in random places on the screen.

**Variants:**

* A still version of the logo without a copyright notice exists.
* An animated version without a copyright notice also exists, which is known to have appeared on an airing of *Barbie of Swan Lake*. The "Cloud 2" shape is seen when the logo animates, but changes to the "Flower" shape when it stops.
* On *Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper*, the background is white and the Mattel logo appears in place of the Nickelodeon logo. Also, the copyright notice is edited to refer to Mattel instead of Nickelodeon.
* On certain Nicktoons (*The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius*, the Frederator-produced Nicktoons (some early season 2 episodes of *The Fairly OddParents* actually used this while other episodes used the Nicktoons splat), *Danny Phantom*, *The X's*, and *Invader Zim*), this logo was used along with the second logo of Nickelodeon Animation Studios until 2006. See the page for more details.

**Music/Sounds:** Depends on the era:

* September 4, 2000-July 2001:
	+ The ending theme of the show.
	+ On shows such as *SpongeBob SquarePants*, *Doug*, *Hey Arnold!*, and *CatDog*, the previous logo's audio is used.
	+ The sounds of an engine revving and a xylophone ditty which stops when the logo stops moving. Some shows like *Ren & Stimpy* and *Are You Afraid of the Dark?* have the end theme of the show cut off for this. On both of those shows, it is very hard to find, although, the *Ren and Stimpy* variant was found in early 2020, only using the end theme and a shape that we forgot was a variant in it.
	+ The audio from the preceding promo on Nickelodeon's split-screen credits is sometimes used.
	+ An odd buzzing sound which was used on some October 2000 airings of shows like *Doug* and *Are You Afraid of the Dark?*.
* August 2001-September 2006:
	+ The previous logo's audio on the mentioned shows above.
	+ The sound of children laughing.
	+ The ending theme of the show.

**Music/Sounds Variants:**

* On *Rugrats*, *The Wild Thornberrys*, *Rocket Power*, and *As Told by Ginger*, the "boing" sound effect from the K-C "Splaat" logo segues into this logo's "kids laughing" audio.
* For a brief time in summer 2005, there was an announcer (possibly a female adult or an older child) that said "Next on Nick, [SHOW NAME]."
* During split-screen credits of *The Amanda Show* and on one episode of *Pelswick*, it has the buzzing sound from the 1996 lightbulb logo.
* On *Butt Ugly Martians*, the kids laughing audio cuts from the middle.
* On at least one airing of *Hey Arnold*, the kids laughing audio and the continued Snee-Oosh theme both play.

**Availability:** Extinct.

* This logo was mainly used during split-screen credits between shows from 2000 to 2006 (which was done to simplify the creation of the credits).
* Strangely, this logo was replaced by the 1996 lightbulb logo on a 2001 airing of *Taina* during the split-screen credits, and several airings of *Avatar: The Last Airbender* with the split-screen credits omitted this logo in favor of the NAS "Nickelodeon splat"; it is unknown what shape the Nickelodeon logo used on the former show.
* Sometimes, it would appear on shows that weren't made by Nickelodeon but had split-screen credits, like *Speed Racer X*, *My Dad The Rock Star* and *Butt Ugly Martians*.
* This logo was also used on the Nick on CBS block when it aired NickToons because of the fact that the block's credits were the same ones Nickelodeon used at the time.
* The still logo was last seen on the 2011 airing of *Cry Baby Lane* (2000), as current airings on NickSplat remove that logo.

**Editor's Note:** None.

### 23rd Logo (October 28, 2000)

Nickelodeon Productions (Crybaby Lane).pngNickelodeon Productions (Crybaby Lane) (Bugless).png**Nicknames:** "The Still Logo", "Nick Oval II"

**Logo:** On a black background, we see the Nickelodeon oval. Under it is the word "presents".

**FX/SFX:** None.

**Music/Sounds:** None.

**Availability:** Very rare. Only seen on *Cry Baby Lane*, which was last seen on TeenNick's NickSplat on October 31, 2016. It did appear on earlier airings, but the 2016 airing removed this logo and cut straight to the film.

**Editor's Note:** The oval looks somewhat ugly; this was likely a cheap TV movie logo.

### 24th Logo (May 27, 2006-October 9, 2009, August 2011, September 12, 2011)

NICKSPLAT.jpgwithout the copyright stampNickelodeon - CLG Wiki (2).jpegwith the copyright stampNickelodeon Network 2006-2009 Logo (B&W).pngBlack and white (Making Fiends)Nickelodeon (Variant).pngVersion with "This has been a presentation of"NIckelodeon (2007;HD Version).pngWidescreen
**Nicknames:** "Bubbles and Nick", "The Splat!", "CGI Splat", "Nick Splat II", "CGI Nick Splat"

**Logo:** On a white and Template:Font color background with Template:Font color CGI bubbles, one bursts, revealing a CGI Nickelodeon logo. Copyright info is shown below.

**Trivia:**

* This logo was based off Nickelodeon's intermission bumpers (titled "Nick Extra") from 2006 to 2008, as well as the network's branding from the same year.
* A similar concept would later be used for the next logo below.

**Variants:**

* On *Wayside*, there was no copyright information byline and at the top, there was orange text that read "This has been a presentation of" in the same font as the show's credits.
	+ There's also a widescreen version of this variant where the logo is slightly zoomed in and stretched.
	+ Another version of this variant exists where the text on the top is in a more generic font.
* On *Back at the Barnyard* and *The Fairly OddParents* episode "77 Secrets of *The Fairly OddParents* Revealed", the logo lacks copyright info.
* On all *Three Delivery* shorts, the logo is completely still.
* On *Making Fiends*, the logo is in black and white.
* On a 2007 airing of *Just Jordan*, if you look closely near to the end, the 2006 copyright stamp appears due to a plastering error.
* On a September 26, 2009 Nickelodeon USA airing of *SpongeBob SquarePants*, this logo appears for just a frame after the 2009 logo due to a split-screen credits error.
* Another high-definition widescreen version exists, wherein the 4:3 logo is sandwiched in between two teal lines, similar to the that of the 2007 Disney Channel Originals logo.

**FX/SFX:** The bubble bursting. Nice CGI for the mid-to-late 2000s.

**Music/Sounds:** Usually the end theme of the show that aired, but sometimes it's the kids laughing audio from the 2001 version of the 2000 "Abstract" logo. On some shows, the audio of that logo continues over this one (just like the 2000 logo).

**Music/Sounds Variants:**

* When the logo was first being used during the summer of 2006, this logo had the "POP!" sound and gurgling sounds from the next logo. It was also used on the season 1 *iCarly* episode "iWanna Stay with Spencer".
* On the end of *Three Delivery* shorts, there is no music playing.
* On split-screen credit airings of *Jimmy Neutron* episodes, the logo has the "Gotta blast!" audio variant of the NickToons logo from the mentioned show.
* On split-screen credit airings of *Mr. Meaty*, the logo plastered the 1996 "Lightbulb" logo, and because of it, this logo has the end theme of the show accompanied with the sounds of the mentioned logo. This is probably because the Lightbulb's audio is mixed in with the end theme of the show and Nick must have forgotten to remove the audio.
* Split-screen credit airings of *El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera* features the kids laughing audio in a very noticeable higher pitch and cuts the show's end theme off. This only happened on the main Nickelodeon USA channel, as NickToons Network airings kept the end theme playing over this logo.
* On August 9, 2011, on a Nickelodeon USA airing of *Bubble Guppies* after the split-screen credits, the logo strangely was revived and because of it, the WildBrain and the 23rd logo were plastered. The audio from the aforementioned logos was played over this one.
* Also in August 2011, on an airing of *Team Umizoomi*, a similar thing happened above where the Curious Pictures and Nick logos were plastered and it had the audio from those two logos.
* Again, in August of the same year, on one airing of *Dora the Explorer*, there was another error where this logo plastered the extended 2009 Nick logo, and it had the music from that logo.
* On *Back at the Barnyard*, a short country tune is played.
* Episodes of *El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera* have the end theme play, followed by a quote from the episode.

**Availability:** Uncommon.

* The first alleged sighting of this logo was during an airing of *ChalkZone* on May 27, 2006, while the first confirmed sighting was on a June 9, 2006 airing of a *Fairly OddParents* episode and it continued to be sporadically used during Summer 2006. However, it didn't fully come into effect on all split screen credits airings until September 2006. Nick used this logo on split screen credits airings until March 2008 (shows on the TEENick block continued to use this logo even after most shows switched to the 26th logo below in January 2008). However, it was also used outside of the split-screen credits as a proper logo, thus allowing it to escape extinction.
* The first use of this logo outside of split-screen credits was on *The Naked Brothers Band* in January 2007. It appeared on *Tak and the Power of Juju* and season 1-early season 2 episodes of *Back at the Barnyard*. This logo, for some reason, was retained on the split-screen credits of some shows on NickToons Network (now "NickToons") until the 2009 rebrand. Also, when Nickelodeon ran *The Ultimate SpongeBob SpongeBash* marathon in July 2009, this logo was revived after the split-screen credits of all of the *SpongeBob* episodes.
* It's also been spotted on some pre-2014 airings of *The Fairly OddParents* episode "Fairly OddBaby", which surprisingly kept the original ending credits and logos intact despite the credits being displayed on the bottom-left of the screen and had the 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo play on the bottom right of the screen.
* This is also seen across the globe, unlike the 2009 logo (the one without the word "Productions"), but there, it's not as common as the 2008 "Lightbulb" logo. It was also shown on early season 6 episodes of *The Fairly OddParents* as well as late-season 5 to early-season 6 episodes of *SpongeBob SquarePants*.
* It was also seen on US airings of early *El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera* episodes. It was also seen on *Three Delivery* shorts on NickToons Network (now simply "NickToons"), which haven't been on in a while. It also appeared on the first three episodes of *The Mighty B!*.
* The extended version was used on some DVDs of Nick shows from around late 2008 up until sometime in 2009. One example was the 2009 DVD *SpongeBob SquarePants: To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants*.

**Editor's Note:** This serves as a template for the next logo below.

### 25th Logo (October 6, 2007-October 3, 2009)

Nickelodeon (2007) (1).jpegNickelodeon Productions (2007).pngShowing the bubbleNickelodeon Productions (2007; HD).pngShowing the splat
**Nicknames:** "Orange Ball", "Nickelodeon Blob", "CGI Nickelodeon Splat II", "Bubbles and Nick II", "Nickelodeon Splat III", "The Splat! II", "Parody Splat"

**Logo:** Over a Template:Font color-white radial gradient background with Template:Font color bubbles (like the previous logo), we see an Template:Font color blob reading "***NICKELODEON***". It floats around for a second, then it rams into the screen and turns into a splat. The copyright info is below.

**FX/SFX:** The bubble floating and transforming into a splat.

**Music/Sounds:** A "bubble" noise (same as the one on the previous logo), followed by a splatting noise.

**Availability:** Was common in its time, but now it's rare (due to plastering with the 26th logo). It was used on the Schneider's Bakery sitcoms, such as the first couple seasons of *iCarly* (early episodes had the 1990s "Lightbulb" logo) starting with the episode "iNevel" and last seen on the episode "iCarly Awards" and the final season of *Zoey 101*, along with *Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh*. This logo is still preserved on Amazon Instant Video prints of said series. Whenever Nickelodeon USA airs *Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh*, Nick's over-the-last-scene credits play, causing this logo to be plastered with one of the 2017 logos below. However, it is intact on the movie's DVD release. Also, on TeenNick USA airings of the *iCarly* special "iGo to Japan", this logo is surprisingly intact due to the fact that the special's original credits play at the end. It was very common on Nick on Pluto TV airings of early *iCarly* episodes prior to a plastering with the 32nd logo in 2021.

**Editor's Note:** This logo plays like a cheaper, badly-thought-out parody of the last logo, hence the nickname "Parody Splat". It's not known why this particular version exists or was made.

### 26th Logo (January 30, 2008-October 23, 2010, September 20, 2011-January 15, 2012, July 8, 2013)

NICKLIGHTBULB.jpgSD logo (lightbulb) without copyright stampNick light bulb logo standard-definition.pngSD logo (lightbulb) with copyright stampNick light bulb logo.jpgHD logo (lightbulb) with copyright stampNickelodeon (2008).pngHD logo (lightbulb) without copyright stampNickelodeon Productions (2008; HD).pngShowing the splat (no copyright stamp)Nickelodeon Productions (2008).jpeg16:9 version squeezed to 4:3 (splat)Nickelodeon (2008- ).jpeg16:9 version squeezed to 4:3 (lightbulb)
**Nicknames:** "Nick Lightbulb III", "3D/CGI Nick Lightbulb II", "The Lightbulb Returns", "From Splat to Lightbulb", "Nick Splat IV", "The Transformation", "Glowing Lightbulb II", "The Orange Lightbulb III", "The Splat and the Lightbulb", "The Last Splat"

**Logo:** On a black background, we see the Nickelodeon orange splat logo in 2D. Then, the background glows dark orange, and the splat transforms into an Template:Font color 3D/CGI lightbulb, an obvious homage to the 1996 lightbulb logo, which turns toward us. Sometimes, copyright info is seen below. A reflection can be seen underneath both the splat and the lightbulb.

**Trivia:** This logo was based off of Nickelodeon's morphing screenbugs from 2006 to 2009.

**Variants:**

* There is an extended variant used for the 2008 Kids Choice Awards as well as some other shows, in which the lightbulb changes back to the splat at the end.
* The logo is shown without the copyright stamp on some Nick Jr. shows, *Back at the Barnyard* and the first 5 episodes of *The Troop*. However, some international reruns and more recent ones in the U.S. still had the copyright stamp.
* On shows and movies produced in HD, a version exists where the logo is slightly different. The background glows red-orange and the Nickelodeon logo is also in Template:Font color, and the text on the lightbulb has a 3D effect to it.
* Sometimes, the logo is stretched (4:3 version stretched to 16:9).
* On the 2008 Kids Choice Awards, the HD version is squeezed to 4:3.
* Sped-up variants exist.

**FX/SFX:** The splat transforming into a light bulb, the glow in the BG. Awesome CGI, designed by Ben Yonda.

**Music/Sounds:** This logo had many music/sounds variants.

* The "laughing kids" sound effect from the 2001 "Abstract" logo.
* The end theme of the show.
* The end theme and the "laughing kids" sound effect mixed together.
* The audio from the logo that came before it (see the music/sounds sections of the 2006 "CGI Splat" logo and the 2000 "Abstract" logo).
* Silence.
* On split-screen airings of the *Ni-Hao, Kai-Lan* episode "The Ant Playground", the 2005 Nick Jr. Productions jingle may play over the logo without the copyright stamp. This is the only *Ni Hao, Kai-Lan* episode to use this logo with Nick Jr. Productions music; other episodes used this logo with the standard laughing sound effect.
* On the *Bubble Guppies* episode "Can You Dig It?", this logo has the music from the next logo.
* Some episodes of *Back at the Barnyard* would use the short country tune from the 2006 "CGI Splat" logo's variant.

**Availability:** Was very common in its time of use, but now it's uncommon.

* Again, like the previous logo, it was primary used on the split-screen credits until the 2009 rebrand. However, it was more widely used outside of the split-screen credits compared to the previous logo.
* Strangely, it also appears on the *SpongeBob SquarePants* episodes "SpongeBob's Last Stand" and "The Clash of Triton", which premiered after the 2009 rebrand, on DVD and Nicktoons. It was also seen on *SpongeBob SquarePants* episodes from season 6 to early season 7 (when it switched to the 2009 logo), *The Fairly OddParents* since season 6 until 2009, *The Mighty B!*, *Back at the Barnyard*, *The Penguins of Madagascar*, later episodes of *El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera*, the first ten episodes of *Team Umizoomi*, and early episodes of *Fanboy and Chum Chum*. This logo was last seen on a 2013 rerun of *The Backyardigans* episode "Follow the Feather".
* The bylineless version can also be seen on some Nick Jr. shows, and plasters over the Nick Jr. Productions logo along with the first five episodes of *The Troop* on NickToons.
* This is seen more commonly outside of the United States. Ironically, Nickelodeon Latin America still used this logo in newer episodes of shows until one point.
* It was also seen at the end of VOD releases of a few *SpongeBob SquarePants* episodes in 2010. Also, some 2009 DVDs have the extended version of this logo. It also appears on *Square Roots: The Story of SpongeBob SquarePants*.
* Strangely, the 2010 TV movie *The Boy Who Cried Wolf* used this logo, despite it premiering a year after the 2009 rebrand. It was also spotted on the *Bubble Guppies* episodes "Can You Dig It?" and "Happy Clam Day!", which premiered in September 2011.
* The HD variant only appeared on season 1 episodes of *True Jackson VP*, early episodes of *Fanboy and Chum Chum*, early episodes of *The Penguins of Madagascar*, and other shows produced in 16:9.

**Editor's Note:** A nicely-animated swan song to the "Splat" era of Nickelodeon. This is a favorite among many fans who enjoyed the classic era of Nickelodeon from 1991-2009.

### 27th Logo (September 26, 2009-)

Nickelodeon Productions.pngVersion without copyright stampNick logo icarly variant.jpgVersion with copyright stampNickelodeon Productions 2016.pngHD version with copyright stampNickelodeon Productions (NickMom variant).pngNickMom variant
Template:YouTube

**Nicknames:** "Orange Letters", "CGI Plastic", "CGI Lines", "Bouncing Lines"

**Logo:** On a white background, a few CGI Template:Font color lines bounce and connect together to form the new Nickelodeon logo (which is simply the word "Template:Font color" in its new customized typeface and is rather similar to the 1981 "pinball" logo). After this, "Template:Font color" fades in underneath the logo and a copyright notice appears below.

**Trivia:**

* The new logo was introduced in July 2009 and officially on September 28, 2009. However, Nickelodeon used this logo by accident two days earlier on most airings of their programs.

**Variants:**

* A version without a copyright stamp was spotted on split-screen credits airings of *T.U.F.F. Puppy* and *Victorious*.
* A small in-credit version of this logo is seen on 2010-2014 *Big Time Rush* and *Victorious* reruns on Nickelodeon.
* There is a shorter version of this logo seen on post-2010 episodes of *SpongeBob SquarePants* and episodes of *The Loud House*.
* On shows produced by Nickelodeon's Australian unit, the words "A Nickelodeon Australia Production" are seen above the copyright stamp.
* On TeenNick reruns of *All That*, the first three seasons of *Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn*, the first two seasons of *School of Rock*, and some other shows, the logo is in warp speed.
* NickMom shows used a variation of the logo featuring various still shots of a woman's high heels (with *Dora The Explorer* bandages on her achilles) on a purple background. The Nick logo flips in and "PRODUCTIONS" wipes in underneath it, as copyright info appears in black boxes with white texts.
* A extended version of this logo exists where it's just the white background for a few seconds before the animation starts.
* A still version is seen on Nick-produced Netflix specials and series such as *Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling*, *Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus*, *Pinky Malinky* and *Glitch Techs*.
* On various airings of Nick shows on September 26, 2009, two copyright notices would appear on the logo: one from 2009 (when the logo first appeared), and another depending on when the show's episode came out.

**FX/SFX:** The lines bouncing and forming the logo. CGI animation done by Trollback + Company in New York.

**Music/Sounds:** An electronic beat followed by a guitar-led rendition of the last five notes of the Nickelodeon jingle. The NickMom variant uses a different theme.

**Music/Sounds Variants:**

* Some shows use a shortened version of the music.
* Sometimes, the end theme is used instead.
* Sometimes, it can be silent.
* *T.U.F.F. Puppy* uses a quiet guitar riff from the show.
* On *iCarly*, *Victorious*, *Sam & Cat*, *Henry Danger* and *Game Shakers*, bubbling sounds are heard with the normal theme.
* On split-screen credits airings of *iCarly*, *Victorious*, *Drake & Josh* and *Zoey 101*, the bubbling sounds aren't heard and the first few notes have been remixed before going to the more familiar theme. This was last seen in November 2012, when TeenNick's split-screen credits would play logos in fullscreen with audio.
* On the *Dora the Explorer* episode "Dora's Super Soccer Showdown", the music is low-pitched.
* On *The Loud House*, the final segment of the end theme trails into the beginning of the logo.
* On at least one print of *Team Umizoomi*, it used the laughing sound from the 2001 and 2008 split-screen credits logos. This also happened on airings of various iCarly episodes on September 26, 2009, and again on an airing of the *iCarly* episode "iNevel" on November 1, 2009.
* On *I Am Frankie*, the logo has a strange techno-rock remix of the music. The music actually originated from a *SpongeBob SquarePants* bumper used from 2009 to 2012, as well as other 2009 Nick bumpers.
* On airings of various *SpongeBob SquarePants* episodes on September 26, 2009, the logo had the audio of the following United Plankton Pictures logo because of the fact that the split screen credits accidentally used this logo instead of the 2008 "Lightbulb" logo.
* On some season 2 episodes of *Glitch Techs* (except for "BITT Prime"), an 8-bit version of the Nickelodeon theme is played.
* On split-screen credits airings of *The Backyardigans*, the show’s closing theme plays for half of the logo's duration, before cutting to the logo’s regular music.
* On the first episode of *Deadtime Stories*, the music is slowed down.
* On the *Rugrats* "Outdoor Shenanigans" DVD, the logo's music and a quote from the show played at the same time.

**Availability:** Pretty common, though it was easier to find back then.

* Appears on all Nick shows starting in September 2009, with it also being used to plaster every previous logo on the split-screen (and later compressed) credits.
* The NickMom logo is very rare due to the block being shut down in late 2015, but is still preserved on iTunes prints of NickMom shows.
* The extended version is extinct, due to it being seen on split-screen credits airings of *T.U.F.F. Puppy*. It was retired on Nicktoons (the channel) as of May 2014.
* This logo was first spotted on most programs on Nickelodeon's schedule on September 26, 2009, but the print logo wasn’t released until two days later. However, starting with the 2017 Kids Choice Awards, shows are slowly starting to phase this logo out with various variants of the logos below. However, some programs still continue to use this logo, notably on Netflix.
* Despite this logo starting to be phased out as of 2017, it is still used in lower-third credits on some shows on Nicktoons and TeenNick.

**Editor's Note:** This logo is a mixed bag for many. For many Nickelodeon fans from the '80s to mid-2000s, this logo is emblematic of the growing changes for the arguable worse the network had ever since adopting this logo, and others find it annoying for its overusage and plastering of older logos. However, there are fans of this logo (even present-day Nick fans) who like it for its bouncy CGI animation, which does carry a good amount of life to it.

### 28th Logo (2010-)

File:Nickelodeon Presents.PNG
**Logo:** On a black background, the Nickelodeon logo quickly fades in, but a Template:Font color font reading "Template:Font color" replaces the "MOVIES" text. The logo zooms in a little and quickly fades out.

**Variants:**

* On *Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling*, the logo fades in and out as usual, but this time, it’s superimposed over the beginning scene of the movie and doesn’t zoom in at all.
* On *Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus*, the logo first appears around 5 minutes into the movie and fades in as usual, superimposed over the movie scene. It starts zooming into the screen until we get through between the L and the O of the Nickelodeon logo.
* Most of the time, "presents" would be in a different font.

**FX/SFX:** The fading and/or the zooming in.

**Music/Sounds:** The opening theme of the movie.

**Availability:** First seen on *Fred: The Movie*; also appears on the Nickelodeon TV movie *Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie* and the Netflix-exclusive films *Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling* and *Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus*. It is still in use as of 2021 with Nickelodeon TV movies still using this logo.

**Editor's Note:** A fairly simple effort, though this is mainly used as a sort of in-credit notice.

### 29th Logo (March 11-April 3, 2017, June 11, 2017-)

Nickelodeon (2017).pngNickelodeon Productions (2017).pngNickelodeon Productions (2019).png
**Nicknames:** "Playground Nick", "Orange Letters II", "Kids and Orange"

**Logo:** On a Template:Font color background, we see the word "Template:Font color" in the same font as the previous two logos appear by having the "Template:Font color" and "Template:Font color" (the latter letter is a long vertical line instead) form in a similar fashion to the 27th logo, and the "Template:Font color" slides out from the "Template:Font color" and the "Template:Font color" rotates counterclockwise. It then cuts to another shot with a boy on a skateboard, and there's an orange line below the words. Also, the "Template:Font color" has been stretched to the top of the screen. Then, it cuts to another shot with some more kids and orange lines on the left and right of the logo. A girl holds on to the "Template:Font color" and pulls it, and then it cuts to a closer view of the girl, but she lets go of it, causing the camera to then cut to another shot of the letters in "Template:Font color" pop in, with "Template:Font color" (which is smaller and in a different font (named Galano Grotesque) than the previous logo) sliding from below the logo down, similar to the Microsoft PowerPoint "Peek In" effect.

**Variants:**

* A more common short version exists where the part with the kids has been cut and the logo starts where the Nickelodeon logo comes in.
* Another version without a copyright notice and the word "Template:Font color" exists.
* Starting with season 2 of *Knight Squad*, the logo has been slightly modified. The background is in a slightly lighter blue color, the bottom portion of the background has a pattern of a tile floor, the screen shakes when the Nickelodeon logo pops on screen, and the copyright notice is now in a much thinner font and in gray.
* On *Santiago of the Seas* and *Baby Shark's Big Show!*, the word "Template:Font color" is omitted.

**FX/SFX:** A mix of live-action and 2D animation. This and the remaining logos were done by Superestudio.

**Music/Sounds:** The short version uses a techno remix of the Nickelodeon jingle, while the long version uses an extended version. This was also used as part of Nickelodeon's 2017 rebranding.

**Availability:** Used in tandem with the next logos and the 2009 logo.

* The full version was only used on certain shows using time compressed credits from March 11 to April 3, 2017, and again from July 5 to August 13, 2017(?). It is currently unknown if this will be used on other shows.
* The short version is seen on a *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* short which debuted on June 11, 2017 on Nickelodeon's YouTube channel, and debuted on the season 3 premiere of *School of Rock* and on the second episode of *Sunny Day*. The logo in its full form was seen on an episode of *TeenNick Top 10*.
* The modified version is only seen on season 2 episodes of *Knight Squad* and it could be on other Nick shows in the future.

**Editor's Note:** This logo and the next few ones are liked even by those who don't care for the 2009 logo for their variety and unique styles.

### 30th Logo (March 11, 2017, May 3-16, 2017, July 7, 2017-)

Nickelodeon (2017) (1).pngNickelodeon Productions (2017) (1).png
**Nicknames:** "Orange Letters III", "Birthday of Nick", "Ballooning Orange", "Nickelodeon Balloons"

**Logo:** On a white background, we see some Template:Font color balloons with the letters in "**nick**" (in the same font as the previous three logos) on them cover up the screen for a few seconds and the balloons then float up off-screen. As this happens, the letters in the Nickelodeon logo (also from the previous logo) also float up and form the logo as "Template:Font color" in the same font (named Galano Grotesque Alternate) as the previous logo, slides up below the logo like the "Float In" animation effect in Microsoft PowerPoint as it fades in. The middle letters bounce a bit. A copyright byline (in the same font as "Template:Font color") appears below or without the copyright byline.

**Variants:**

* A shortened version exists where the balloons are almost offscreen.
* A longer version exists where we first get a close-up of the "**n**" balloon, followed by one of the "**i**" balloon, then the camera zooms out to reveal the other three and the animation proceeds as normal.
* On *The Loud House*, *PAW Patrol* (TVOKids and Knowledge Kids airings of said show don't have that logo) and *SpongeBob SquarePants*, the word "Template:Font color" is omitted.
* On *The Loud House* short "The Maltese Bear", the logo is gray to fit the short's theme.

**FX/SFX:** A mix of 2D and CGI animation.

**Music/Sounds:** A light tune ending with an instrumental (but slightly rearranged) version of the Nickelodeon jingle. Like the previous logo, it was also used as part of Nickelodeon's 2017 rebranding.

**Music/Sounds Variants:**

* On *The Loud House* (starting with the episode "Lynn-er Takes All"), the music from the 2009 logo is used, and also has the end theme trailing off into the logo.
* On *I Am Frankie*, this logo has the same audio variant from when the show still used the 2009 logo (the music from an old *SpongeBob* bumper).
* On the *Kamp Koral* short "I'm Urchin You to Leave", same as the *The Loud House* variant but without the ending theme trail.

**Availability:** Current.

* The short version debuted after the 2017 Kids' Choice Awards, and is currently seen on *PAW Patrol* episodes starting with "Pups Save a Baby Octopus" (removed on TVO and Knowledge Kids airings), and on later episodes of *The Loud House* and *SpongeBob SquarePants*.
* The longer version is seen after shows after Nickelodeon USA and NickSplat (the block on TeenNick) credits from May 3 to May 16, 2017.
* Like the previous logo, it is currently unknown if this will be used on other shows.

**Editor's Note:** Another nicely-animated logo. This is well-liked by fans of *The Loud House*.

### 31st Logo (March 13, 2017)

File:Nickelodeon Productions (2017) (2).png
**Nicknames:** "Orange Letters IV", "Characters and Orange", "Slingshot and Orange"

**Logo:** On a Template:Font color background, we see the Nickelodeon logo with balls (with the heads of characters from various Nickelodeon shows) on it, causing the logo to bend in a downward curve. Then, the logo bends up, sending the balls flying up and offscreen. "**PRODUCTIONS**" and copyright info then fade in in white.

**FX/SFX:** 2D animation.

**Music/Sounds:** None.

**Availability:** Only appeared on the Behance page.

**Editor's Note:** A wasted logo that sadly didn't appear on any television series.

### 32nd Logo (April 3-May 3, 2017, July 13, 2017-)

Nickelodeon (2018).jpegNickelodeon Productions (2017) (3).png
**Nicknames:** "Orange Letters V", "Zipper and Orange"

**Logo:** On a Template:Font color cloth-like background, the words "Template:Font color" in the same font as the previous three logos zooms out and suddenly, a zipper appears covering up the words and revealing the 2009 Nickelodeon logo all in white on the same Template:Font color cloth-like background. The "**l**" gets launched into the air and spins in mid-air. When it lands, "Template:Font color" appear below in the same font as the previous two logos in Template:Font color.

**Variants:**

* A shorter version of the logo starts when the zipper covers up the word "nick".
* An extended version of this logo starts on the reddish-orange cloth-like background, an outline of the "**k**" with the blue cloth background inside of it zooms in (similar to the 2014 Sony logo) to make the background blue. The "Template:Font color" and "Template:Font color" forms in a similar fashion to the 2017 "Playground" logo and the "c" slides out left from the right side of the "Template:Font color" and the "Template:Font color" tilts counter-clockwise and the animation goes on to what is described in the standard length version.
* On *Star Falls*, the logo is missing the word "Template:Font color".

**FX/SFX:** The logo forming and the zipper closing.

**Music/Sounds:** A techno remix of the Nickelodeon jingle with the sounds of a zipper closing and a "woosh!" when the words are in the air. The extended version uses the end theme of the special or an extended version of the short version's theme. The music is also being part of Nickelodeon's 2017 rebranding.

**Availability:**

* Seen on certain shows (*SpongeBob SquarePants*, *The Loud House*, Nick Jr. shows, etc.) during the mentioned network's credits from April 3, 2017 until May 3, 2017, then continued being used on July 13, 2017.
* The short variant is seen on *The 2017 Kids' Choice Awards Sports* and *JoJo Siwa: My World*.
* The extended version appears on *2017 Kids Choice Sports Awards Australia*.

**Editor's Note:** Yet another nicely-animated logo, and well-liked by present-day Nickelodeon fans.

### 33rd Logo (May 16, 2017-)

Nickelodeon Productions (2017) (4).pngNickelodeon (2017) (2).png
**Nicknames:** "Orange Letters VI", "Bouncing and Orange", "Kids and Orange II"

**Logo:** On a Template:Font color background, the Nickelodeon logo is seen in an darker orange color, but it's zoomed in so that only "Template:Font color" can be seen. Also, there are some kids lying down. It then cuts to another shot as a boy runs from the top left side of the screen to the center from the screen and he jumps. Before the boy jumps, the camera zooms in on him and it then cuts to another shot with the Nickelodeon logo and the words "**PRODUCTIONS**" in white in the same font as the previous logos and the two "Template:Font color"s and the first "Template:Font color" in "Template:Font color" are in the air and they land and the "Template:Font color" bounces before it settles down in place.

**Variants:**

* A version of the logo exists where "**PRODUCTIONS**" is absent.
* A shortened version of the logo exists where it's shortened to where the boy jumps.

**FX/SFX:** A mix of live-action and animation.

**Music/Sounds:** Same as above for the long version, but the short version uses the same music along with a "THUD" sound when the boy jumps.

**Availability:**

* It's only seen on Nickelodeon and NickSplat's credits.
* The shortened version is seen on *Nickelodeon's Ultimate Halloween Haunted House*.

**Editor's Note:** Another favorite of present-day Nick fans.
