* On 2004 DVD releases of ''Invader Zim'' and ''Catscratch'', the Nicktoons splat is replaced with the 2003 Nickelodeon splat logo. |

⚫ | |||

* On some international prints of Nickelodeon shows on non-Nickelodeon channels (such as on foreign Disney Channel airings of ''The Fairly OddParents''), the Nicktoons logo is completely removed, leaving just the copyright. |

* Usually for the split-screen credits, it's the same as the original credits (including Jimmy saying "Gotta blast!"). In the case of ''Invader Zim'', however, two variants were used. One was the synth drone and electricity sparking from the start of the episode "The Nightmare Begins" (which was the most common), and the other was a modified version of Zim (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz) laughing at the end of the opening theme. |

'''Availability:''' This logo was very common in its own time, but it's now becoming rarer, as Nickelodeon is deleting all of the pre-2009 logos on television, and is replacing them with the 2009 and 2017 Nickelodeon Productions logos. However, some prints of these shows keep this logo intact. |

'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see an {{color |
|||
|orange|orange}} ball of slime bouncing on a trampoline (which has a {{color |
|||
|deepskyblue|sky blue}} pad, {{color |
|||
|gray|gray}} supports, and {{color |
|||
|orange|orange}} rimming) 3 times, with each bounce producing 3 {{color |
|||
|orange|orange}} pulses as the camera shifts around it, briefly showing a {{color |
|||
|deepskyblue|blue}} "sky". After the 3rd bounce, the blob flies towards the screen as the text "'''''NICKELODEON'''''" appears on it and it continues to wave, as the words "{{color |
|||
|orange|'''A'''}}" and "{{color |
|||
|orange|'''PRODUCTION'''}}" appear letter-by-letter in {{color |
|||
|orange|orange}}. In the lower right corner, 4 translucent {{color |
|||
|orange|orange}} rings pulse out as the blob stops waving, becomes 2D, and changes its shape before cutting to the show. |
|||
'''Variant:''' There is a variant seen on international airings of ''Rocket Power'', which only shows the Nickelodeon logo. |
|||
'''Technique:''' CGI animation of the ball and the trampoline. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' Three bouncing sounds, followed by the first eight notes of the Nickelodeon theme being played on an off-key glockenspiel. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Rare; can be seen on Latin American prints of Nickelodeon shows, such as episodes of ''Pistas de Blue'' (the Latin American Spanish dub of ''Blue's Clues'') on Nick on Demand En Español. In Brazil, it is seen some season 3 episodes of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', the first season of ''Dora The Explorer'', and some episodes of ''Blue's Clues'', ''As Told By Ginger,'' ''The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius'', and ''Rocket Power''. |

'''Availability:''' |
|||
⚫ | * The "Nicktoons" variant is preserved on digital releases of most non-[[Klasky Csupo]] Nicktoons from ''The Angry Beavers'' to ''Danny Phantom''. It was also seen on ''The X's'', which has never seen a re-release and hasn't been reran since 2015. However, DVD and VHS releases of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' and ''The Fairly OddParents'' often use the [[Nickelodeon Productions]] "haypile" logo instead. Otherwise, the only other ways to find this are on VHS recordings or via encodes online. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | * The "Nickelodeon" variant first appeared on ''The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius'', and was used concurrently with the "Nicktoons" variant until around 2006, when it effectively replaced that version. It also appeared on ''My Life as a Teenage Robot'', ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'', ''Catscratch'', non-US/Canada airings/prints of early ''El Tigre'' episodes, non-US/Canada prints/airings of ''Three Delivery'', early episodes of ''Random! Cartoons'', non-US prints/airings of some episodes of ''Kappa Mikey'', 2007 episodes of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', and the final season of ''ChalkZone''. It appears without copyright information on non-US prints of Nicktoons Network originals such as ''Kappa Mikey'' and ''Ricky Sprocket: Showbiz Boy'' (plastering the Nicktoons Originals logo that originally appeared at the end). The main logo still appears on new episodes of shows that debuted prior to 2007, such as ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', until the episode "Blackened Sponge/Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob". The ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'' variant is preserved on Netflix prints. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | * From 2001 to 2006, this logo was seen on certain Nicktoons after split-screen credits on [[Nickelodeon]], replacing the 2000 Nickelodeon Productions "Weird Object" logo. This includes ''Jimmy Neutron'', ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'', ''The Fairly OddParents'' (which alternated with the "Weird Object"), ''ChalkZone'', ''My Life as a Teenage Robot'', ''Danny Phantom'', and ''Invader Zim'', which kept their respective logos, while all other Nicktoons used the regular Nickelodeon Productions logo. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | * The last cartoon to premiere with this logo was ''El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera'', and the last to use it was the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' episode "Goo Goo Gas/Le Big Switch" (which had aired in other regions almost two years beforehand). It could also be seen on the three super-deformed shorts of ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'', which are preserved on that series' season 2 DVD release. |
||
'''Legacy:''' This logo is a favorite of many due to its visuals. |
