2nd (known) ID (2002-January 2006?)
Logoː We see the Nickelodeon print logo from 1984-2009 on an orange background. Then, depending on the variant, a random thing would happen during its screen time.


 * September 2005-January 2006?: Starting in September 2005, Nickelodeon began to transition from the "letters" era to the "scribble" era. Following this, all of the idents were modified with 2D hand-drawn animations made with marker (and sometimes with paper, handprints, splats, stains, etc.).

Triviaː


 * This graphics package seems to have come from the British design agency the Designers Republic, and multiple sources state this, but any mention of these idents does not appear on said design agency's website.
 * It has a website version, where it's a message to help the people affected by the tsunami at the time.

Legacyː This has been known for being a strange ID for the UK, but it's intended to be for kids and for comedy, so it makes sense it's like that and it lasted for 4 years. Due to it, some might even laugh due to the randomness, young or old. Starting with the rebrand of the US network in 2009, the British network now uses the former network's IDs.
