Nickelodeon Home Media/Endcaps

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-September 8, 2009)
"Weird" Splat=

Haypile=

Scribble=

Bat=

Holly=

Reindeer=

Turkey=

"Stretched" Splat=

"Realistic" Splat=

"Regular" Splat=

Visuals: On a black background we see a one of diffrent shapes with the Nickelodeon text inside. All of which have the copyright info below. Variants:
 * "Weird" Splat
 * Haypile (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.")
 * Heart
 * Scribble
 * Bat
 * Holly
 * Reindeer
 * Turkey
 * "Stretched" Splat
 * "Realistic" Splat
 * "Regular" Splat
 * On the few initial run of Sony Wonder titles, the "Weird Splat" or "Haypile" would feature a copyright notice with the VHS release's name on it.
 * A variant exists without copyright info at all on the VHS version of Oswald 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 be meaningless to have it appear twice. Despite that, the DVD release does contain copyright info.
 * On the second episode of each tape in The Wild Thornberrys: Adventures Down Under two-tape set by National Geographic, the logo cuts in and out instead of fading, and stays onscreen for a full minute (this includes the quote at the beginning of the logo) before cutting to black.

Technique: None.

Audio:
 * For "Weird" Splat, Scribble, "Stretched" Splat and "Realistic" Splat: None.
 * For Haypile: None or the end theme of the show.
 * For Heart: A smooching sound.
 * For Bat, Holly and Reindeer : The end theme to the show.
 * Turkey: A snippet from the titular "A Rugrats Thanksgiving" special (Stu Pickles makes a turkey gobbling sound, followed by Grandpa Boris yelling to him "Enough with the gobble already!").

Audio Variants:
 * On both the Volume 1 & Volume 2 DVDs of The Amanda Show, the audio from the Nickelodeon Productions Lightbulb is used on the Haypile.
 * VideoNow Color releases of All Grown Up have the tail end of the 3rd Klasky Csupo logo on the Haypile.

Availability: Depends on the variant, but a majority of these variants have only appeared on one release:
 * Weird Splat:
 * It appears on the first two Rugrats VHS releases - "Tales from the Crib", and "A Baby's Gotta Do What A Baby's Gotta Do" (which also count as the first ever Nicktoons VHS releases), as well as "Chuckie the Brave" (Only on the Sony Wonder prints, the Paramount reissues plaster this logo with the "Slime")
 * It also appears on the first two Doug tapes - "How Did I Get into This Mess" and "Patti, You're the Mayonnaise For Me", however, these were never re-released.
 * Haypile:

 * By 2000, it had 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", Little Bear: Let's Play a Game, which used the "Flower", and Little Bear: Little Sherlock Bear, which used the Shark, 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 and VideoNow Color releases of All Grown Up.
 * The 2009 DVD of True Jackson, VP: Season 1, Volume 1 is one of the last releases to use the logo.
