NOTE: THE INFORMATION WAS ORIGINALLY SOURCED FROM THE NICKELODEON PRODUCTIONS PAGE.

Background: Normally on VHS or DVD releases, Nickelodeon will typically replace their normal TV logo with a still screenshot of one of their ID's used at the time. This page features logos exclusively seen on these releases, as well as ones exclusively seen on home media or have also been used as a Nickelodeon Productions logo.

1st Logo (August 31, 1993)

Nickelodeon Productions - CLG WikiNickelodeon Productions - CLG Wiki

Nicknames: "Nickelodeon Splat", "The Other Splat", "Weird Splat"

Logo: Over a black background, we see a weird-looking 2D Nickelodeon splat logo, which looks like it's been jabbed by a bone several times. Copyright information is below.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extremely rare. Only seen on the original Sony Wonder releases of Rugrats Volume 1: Tales from the Crib, Rugrats Volume 2: A Baby's Gotta Do What A Baby's Gotta Do, Doug Volume 1: How Did I Get into This Mess and Doug Volume 2: Patti, You're the Mayonnaise For Me. The 1996 re-releases of the Rugrats tapes (from Paramount) plaster this logo with the "Slime" and the Doug tapes were never re-released.

Editor's Note: For some reason, the Dougtapes didn’t mention the show name, only mentioning the VHS subtitles.

2nd Logo (1993-1995?, 2000-2009)

Nickelodeon Animation Studios - CLG WikiNickelodeon Animation Studios - CLG Wiki Nickelodeon Animation Studios (2000)Nickelodeon Haystack (2001)Nickelodeon Animation Studios (2001)Nickelodeon Animation Studios (2001)Nickelodeon Animation Studios (2006)Nickelodeon Haystack logo (2002)Nickelodeon Haystack logo (2003)Nickelodeon Animation Studios (2005, Rugrats)Nickelodeon Haypile (2005, SpongeBob SquarePants)Nickelodeon Haypile (2005) Nickelodeon Animation (2006)Nickelodeon (Fairly Idol DVD)

Nicknames: "The Haystack", "The Haypile", "The Nick Haystack", "The Nick Scribble"

Logo: Same as the NAS "Haypile" logo, but with an expanded copyright that says"(C)(year) Viacom International Inc. All rights reserved. Nickelodeon, (NAME OF SHOW), and all related titles, logos, and characters are trademarks of Viacom International Inc."

Early Variant: Sony Wonder releases from the Early 90s normally contained a copyright with the releases' name on.

Variants:Strangely, a variant exists without copyright info at all on the VHS version ofOswald On The Go (2004). This may be because the HiT Entertainment logo that preceded it (and 3 Nick Jr. logos/bumpers) already had copyright info, so it would meaningless to have it appear twice. Although the DVD release does contain copyright info.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the end theme of the show.

Music/Sounds Variants: On both the Volume 1 & Volume 2 DVDs of The Amanda Show, the audio from the Nickelodeon Productions Lightbulb is used.

Availability: Very Common. It originally appears at the end on a few Sony Wonder releases. By 2000, it's appeared at the end on pretty much all Nickelodeon VHS's and DVDs from 2000 until 2009 (with the exception of a few Nick Jr. tapes from that time, which used the Bone before switching to this one). Examples include Season 1 of The Adventures of Pete & Pete and all SpongeBob SquarePants DVDs from 2003 to 2009, along with several Nick Jr. shows. This logo also appears on DVD releases of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The 2009 DVD of True Jackson, VP: Season 1, Volume 1 is one of the last releases to use the logo.

Editor's Note: Same as the NAS version.

Also showed up on two Allegra's Window VHS tapes: Small is Beautiful and Waiting for Grandma. It also appeared on VHS releases of Ren and Stimpy, Clarissa Explains it All. It is also shown without the copyright stamp, on a preview for Rugrats videos, which can be found on the VHS release of The Rugrats Movie and five Blue's Clues VHS tapes: Blue's Discoveries, Magenta Comes Over, Stop, Look and Listen, Blue's Big Pajama Party, and Blue's Safari, as well as most Nickelodeon tapes from 1997 to 2000.

The animated version was also seen on the American/Australian VHS Ren and Stimpy: Incredibly Stupid Stories with the copyright stamp intact. Also used as a station ID and on a "Nick Takes Over Your School Sweepstakes" commercial.

Editor's Note: Admittedly, it does look rather uncanny compared to others with its rather shiny and realistic appearance. The movements of the slime also look kinda creepy.
