Nickelodeon Studios

Background
Nickelodeon Studios was a television studio in Universal Studios Florida that also served as an attraction in the park, allowing kids to attend tapings of Nickelodeon's game shows. The first program taped there, Super Sloppy Double Dare, was taped in Spring 1989, with the attraction fully opening on June 7, 1990. The attraction, while initially very popular, began to decline in the 2000s as Nick began slowly shifting their live-action output to closed-set sitcoms and moving filming to Nickelodeon on Sunset in Hollywood. The final show taped there, Nickelodeon Splat!, finished taping on August 17, 2004, with the attraction permanently shutting down on April 30, 2005 and was replaced by Blue Man Group, but closed years later.

1st Logo (August-October 1990)
Visuals: Over an overcast sky, the camera zooms down to reveal the Nickelodeon Studios facade. The shot then fades to a shot of the Universal Studios globe fountain, with the globe rotating counter clockwise. The Nickelodeon facade can be seen in the distance.

Technique: Live action.

Audio: An voiceover saying "This show (or the title of the show) was/is recorded/produced/taped (in front of/before a live studio/live audience) at/in Nickelodeon Studios (in Orlando) at Universal Studios Florida/in Orlando, Florida", which varies. On some shows, the ending theme of the show plays over it.

Availability: Can be seen on Family Double Dare and Outta Here! as well as one season 3 episode of Make The Grade.

2nd Logo (August 1990)
Visuals: Over an overcast sky, a shot of Nickelodeon Studios from the left is shown before fading to the Universal Globe, which is closer to the camera than normal. Three people can be seen walking by in the distance. The logo freeze frames at the end.

Audio: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Can only be seen on most season 3 episodes of Make The Grade.

Sunny Sky Variant=

Videos=

Visuals: On a sunny day is the side view of the studio, with the Slime Geyser. The sequence then fades into the front, the camera slowly zooms out until it's showing the Universal globe.

Variants:
 * On few occasions, the shot of the Slime Geyser is cut short. On some occasions, the shot is cut entirely.
 * On an episode of Welcome Freshmen, there is another short version with just the shot of the Slime Geyser.
 * Another variant has the view of Nickelodeon Studios shot on an overcast day, like the first two logos. But this time, the clouds are darker which makes it look like it's about to rain.
 * There’s also an extended version which has a shot of kids running towards the Nickelodeon Studios building.

Technique: Same as the first two logos.

Audio: Same as the first two logos.

Availability:
 * The full logo can be seen on Eureeka's Castle, and the first seasons of both Welcome Freshmen and Get The Picture.
 * The short version without the Slime Geyser shot can seen be on the first seasons of both Clarissa Explains It All and Hi Honey, I'm Home!, as well as later Season 1 episodes of Get The Picture.
 * The short version was also used on 2011-2015 broadcasts of seasons 2-5 of All That on TeenNick's The 90's Are All That block, plastering over the 1995 version of the 5th logo on season 2 and the 1994 and 1996 Nickelodeon Productions logos on seasons 2 through 5.
 * The overcast variant can be found on both later 1991 episodes of Eureeka's Castle and Hi Honey, I'm Home!.

4th Logo (October 1991-2003)
Images=

Videos=

Visuals: There is a realistic coloring of a side view of the front of Nickelodeon Studios (that looks like it was done with a different-colored pencil), including the Slime Geyser. Around the building, there is a hot pink line. The sequence then fades to a front view of the building, with the Universal Studios globe visible next to it. The entire picture "wiggles" throughout.

Technique: Appears to be cel animation.

Audio: Same as the first three logos.

Audio Variants:
 * On a Russian airing of a Noah Knows Best episode, there was no announcer and only the end theme of the show could be heard.
 * On another Russian airing of Noah Knows Best, a voiceover says the monologue in Russian.
 * Sometimes on Gullah Gullah Island, there is no music.
 * On Roundhouse, a child giggles after the ending monologue. On some episodes, someone says "Shut up!"
 * On Weinerville, a "Woo!" can be heard near the end.

Availability: Seen on almost any show recorded from Nickelodeon Studios from 1991 until 2003 such as Nick Arcade, What Would You Do? and GUTS, among others.

5th Logo (1992-1997)
1992-1995=

Visuals: On a sunny day, the camera zooms to the studio sign on top center of the building before cutting to the scene with Nickelodeon Studios and the Universal globe.

Variants:
 * Starting in 1995, the zooming shot is replaced with a shot of the camera approaching the front of the studios on the ground, before fading into the globe shot.
 * One version seen on What Would You Do? and the pilot episode of All That has the shot of the kids running towards the building from the overcast variant of the 3rd logo, before it fades to the globe shot.
 * On a season one episode of All That and Double Dare: Super Sloppiest Moments, there’s a short version with just the shot of the Universal Globe.

Technique: Same as the first logo.
