Nickelodeon Productions

Background
Nickelodeon Productions is the production arm of American cable channel Nickelodeon.

1st Logo (November 22, 1989)
Logo: On a black background, we see an silhouette of a turkey with the Nickelodeon wordmark on it. Copyright info is seen in front of it.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the special.

Availability: Extinct. Only seen on Nick's Thanksgiving Fest.

2nd Logo (July 4, 1990-1995)
Logo: On a black background, we see an splat with the Nickelodeon wordmark on it. Copyright info appears below, but sometimes it doesn't.

Trivia: The splat was also used at the beginning of the Wild & Crazy Kids! intro. This logo's design was also used for the sign at the front of Nickelodeon Studios.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Rare. Appeared on Wild & Crazy Kids! and also on various Sony Wonder-distributed Nickelodeon VHS tapes, such as Ren & Stimpy: Classics II and at least one VHS release of The Adventures of Pete & Pete.

3rd Logo (February 9, 1991)
Logo: On a black background, we see the copyright stamp "c 1991 MTV NETWORKS, INC." at the bottom of the screen in white. Then, the Nickelodeon logo in the form of a heart slides down into the middle while rotating 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the special ("I'll Give a Lot of Lovin' to You" by Shackwacky).

Availability: Extinct. Only appeared on original airings of The Adventures of Pete and Pete special "The Valentine's Day Massacre". That special was later repackaged as a standard Pete and Pete episode, with this logo plastered by the normal "balloon" logo on subsequent airings and by the 1991 "haypile" logo on the 2005 Season 1 DVD.

4th Logo (August 11, 1991-August 17, 2008)
Logo: On a black background, we see the Nickelodeon logo in the shape of an haystack or scribble. Copyright info is seen below.

Copyrights:
 * August 11, 1991-April 13, 1995: "(C)(year) MTV Networks"
 * 1994-1997: "(C)(year) Nickelodeon"
 * 1995-2005: "(C)(year) VIACOM" or "(C)VIACOM (year)"

Variants:
 * A variant with no copyright info exists.
 * On the original Rugrats pilot, the logo is darker, possibly due to the quality of the master.
 * On Season 1 episodes of Ren & Stimpy, the logo is slightly redder.
 * On Season 1 episodes of Hey Arnold!, the copyright info is in a chalk-like font.
 * Starting in late 1997, the copyright stamp for the "Nickelodeon" variant was extended to say: "Copyright (year) Nickelodeon, a programming service of Viacom International Inc. (NAME OF SHOW) and all related titles, logos, and characters are trademarks of Nickelodeon, a programming service of Viacom International Inc."

Technique: None.

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

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On most episodes of Rugrats and its spin-off All Grown Up!, as well as The Wild Thornberrys, AAAHH!!! Real Monsters!, Rocket Power, and As Told by Ginger, a soundbite from the episode is heard (this was not present on earlier seasons).
 * On the first two seasons of AAAHH!!! Real Monsters, the tail-end of the Klasky-Csupo "Graffiti" logo's music plays over this logo.
 * On Doug, the Jumbo Pictures music carries over to this logo.
 * On the Rugrats episode "The Baby Vanishes" / "Farewell, My Friend", we hear an audio engineer saying, "Gonna keep you going even longer than that next time, we'll do it one more time." (tying into how in the end credits for said episode, Tommy and Chuckie are heard arguing over whether the basement in their home is scary or not). This variant was often taken out of future Nickelodeon airings due to split-screen credits, but was later put back in on The '90s Are All That airings prior to that block's rebranding as The Splat.
 * On the original pilot version of The Ren & Stimpy Show episode "Big House Blues", calliope music is heard during this logo, since the ending theme didn't trail into the Carbunkle Cartoons and Spümcø logos.
 * On a DVD release of The Amanda Show, this logo has the buzzing sounds of the 1996 Nickelodeon Productions logo.
 * On DVD and VHS releases of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, this logo had the same audio as the variant of the 1st Nickelodeon Animation Studios logo with the first few notes of the show's theme and Jimmy saying, "Gotta blast!"
 * On a December 2001 CBS airing of the Rugrats episodes "Rugrats: The Santa Experience" and "A Rugrats Chanukah", a generic theme is used.

Availability: Very common. Even though it's become a victim of plastering with the 2009 and 2017 logos, it's still very easy to find on VHS and DVD releases of Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. series released between 1991 and 2008.
 * This logo made its earliest known appearance on the Rugrats pilot "Tommy Pickles and the Great White Thing" (produced in 1990), but it didn't make its debut on television until August 11, 1991, the day the first three Nicktoons (Doug, Rugrats, and The Ren & Stimpy Show) premiered.
 * The MTV Networks copyright variant can be seen on VHS tapes and DVDs of Rugrats episodes from the era (including the pilot), VHS tapes and DVDs of early episodes of Rocko's Modern Life, and 1991-1994 episodes of The Ren & Stimpy Show on VHS (the Season 1 and 2 DVDs edit it out, but it's still intact on the Seasons 3 and a Half-ish and Season 5 and Some More of 4 DVDs), and VHS tapes and DVDs of pre-1994 episodes of Doug.
 * The Nickelodeon byline variant is rather rare, as it was used for a short time and concurrently with the Viacom copyright variant from 1995-1996. It can be seen on VHS tapes of some Rugrats episodes from the era, VHS tapes and DVDs of The Ren & Stimpy Show episodes from the era, VHS tapes of some Rocko's Modern Life episodes from the era, and season 1-3 episodes of AAAHH!!! Real Monsters on VHS. It was also seen on The Angry Beavers 1994 pilot episode "Snowbound".
 * The Viacom variant is common and can be seen on all Nicktoons until 1997, when they switched to the Nicktoons/Nickelodeon Animation Studios logo. At that point, only Klasky-Csupo shows such as Rugrats, As Told by Ginger, and The Wild Thornberrys used this logo.
 * The 1997 variant is rare, and can only be found on late 1997 episodes of Rugrats and AAAHH!!! Real Monsters.
 * The first three seasons of Rocko's Modern Life released through Shout! Factory have this logo intact.
 * The "Big House Blues" variant is very rare, since not only does the Seasons 1 & 2 DVD edit it out in addition to the other episodes, but when aired, the episode shares "In the Army"'s credits.
 * This logo also appeared on the obscure Rugrats Pre-School Daze series, which can be found as a bonus feature the Rugrats Tales From the Crib DVDs. It was also intact on MTV airings of The Ren & Stimpy Show.
 * This did not appear on certain animated Nick shows such as KaBlam! and Pelswick, which used the 1996 "lightbulb" logo instead.
 * This logo used to be preserved on airings of shows on The 90s Are All That block on TeenNick (later The Splat, then NickSplat, and finally NickRewind), but due to the block later adopting Nickelodeon's "credits on the last scene" format, it is no longer seen and is plastered by the 2009 logo (or sometimes one of the 2017 logos). However, AAAHH!!! Real Monsters and The Ren & Stimpy Show kept it intact during that time (the latter also kept the original credits intact).

 * The variant with the black background is extremely rare, and was first used as a network ID. It appeared on Roundhouse, which occasionally aired on NickSplat until 2017 (it is unknown if it kept this logo intact or plastered it with the 2009 logo). This logo is also intact on Roundhouse episodes featured on the Nick Snicks Friendship and Nick Snicks the Family VHS tapes from the early 1990s.

Image= Video=

Logo: During the opening of a show, several 3D Nickelodeon logos of different shapes and sizes (including a balloon, crayon, leaf, hat, crown, gear, top, key, etc.) cover the screen. Then, the logo plays in reverse, and the opening continues.

Variant:
 * On season 2 of All That and season 1 of Kenan & Kel, the logo cuts to the Nickelodeon Studios logo.
 * Sometimes, the copyright info is absent.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds:
 * The closing theme of the show, or silent, as in the case of All That.
 * On at least one episode of All That, the buzzing sound from the Nickelodeon Productions "Lightbulb" logo (19th logo on this page) was used, possibly due to an editing error, as it is unlikely it was an actual variant.
 * Kenan & Kel has Kenan Thompson's spiel for the Nickelodeon Studios logo for the show play over this logo.

Availability: It appeared on some episodes of The Adventures of Pete and Pete, on season 2 episodes of All That (including the Good Burger Special) and season 1 of Kenan & Kel (which is available on iTunes), the rarely seen Nickelodeon Sports Theater with Shaquille O'Neal (which last aired on Nicktoons in 2014) and on pre-September 2000 split-screen credits airings of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Cousin Skeeter, and The Angry Beavers. This logo was also used as part of a 1996-98 "next on Nickelodeon" ID.

13th Logo (October 1, 1994-September 28, 1996)
Logo: A 3D Nickelodeon cap spins in. The copyright info is shown below.

14th Logo (January 2, 1995-September 3?, 2000)


Logo: On a sky background with moving clouds, an housefly comes from the the top of the screen and flies around in circles twice before stopping right in front of us. We see "NICKELODEON" in its familiar font on the fly.

15th Logo (June 25, 1995-September 3?, 2000)
Logo: Over a black background, a Saturn-shaped Nickelodeon logo flies up from the bottom of the screen, orbited by two moons. It settles in the center of the screen, and "PRODUCTIONS" in white spaced-out letters pops up from the bottom, settling under the logo.

Trivia: This logo may be a nod to the T-shirt worn by Rugrats character Chuckie Finster, which has the planet Saturn on it, although this logo never appeared on any Rugrats episode or video release.

Variants:
 * A still version exists.
 * On Space Cases, the word "PRODUCTIONS" is omitted.
 * On the rare German television special Nickelodeon Goes to Germany, at the end of the AAAHH! Real Monsters segment "Ab 1. Juli" ("Coming on July 1st" in German), the logo is superimposed over the final shot of "The Switching Hour". As the camera zooms into the dollhouse, the text flies away and the logo appears without "PRODUCTIONS" or copyright info.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Rare.
 * Seen on Space Cases and Global Guts (the latter of which can be found on iTunes).

Legacy: The animation would later become the basis of the 2nd Nickelodeon Movies logo.

17th Logo (October 1995-February 9, 1997)
Logo: On a black background, we see an, hot dog-shaped balloon inflating. The balloon then transforms into a balloon dog with the Nickelodeon wordmark on it.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A blowing sound followed by a stretching sound. Otherwise, the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Rare.
 * Only appears on two TV specials: Oh, Brother! Starring Stick Stickly (1995) and Stick Stickly in "Stuck" (1997).
 * The former special never reruns on TV anymore, but can be found on YouTube.
 * The latter special has reran on NickRewind numerous times, and has made the logo easier to find.
 * The logo animation seen here was also used in a 1996-98 "next on Nickelodeon" ID.

18th Logo (May 11, 1996-August 23, 2008)
Logo: On a black background, a Nickelodeon logo shaped like a lightbulb is seen, with a green electric charge surrounding the bulb and forming the word "productioNs" on the bottom-right side. The copyright information is below in a different font depending on the show (it's absent on some shows such as Romeo!).

Variants:
 * Just for Kicks has a trademark symbol next to the lightbulb.
 * For the telecast of the 1999 Kids Choice Awards, an extended version was used where the lightbulb is in a and  lighted environment with  and  swirling shapes. The lightbulb is first seen, with the Nickelodeon wordmark mirrored. The camera slightly zooms away from it and then zooms towards the bulb quickly. When they come in contact, the screen flips and the lightbulb flips around. The camera zooms away and back to the bulb again, as if it's bouncing on it. Finally, when the camera zooms towards the bulb a third time, the electric charge and the word "productioNs" come in to their respective places. The camera then zooms away and finally stops. The lightbulb flexes for a few seconds and purple and  stars spin around the logo (in a "dizzy"-like situation). Finally, the lightbulb glows and the background flickers to black, with the electric charge and the word "productioNs" disappearing for a split-second before finally reappearing, completing the already-formed standard logo, complete with the usual buzzing sound.
 * On German prints of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, the lightbulb is replaced with an Nick splat logo.
 * An in-credit variant was spotted on an episode of All That.
 * There's a different variant where the logo is rotating from right to leftover footage from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Jellyfishing", then it gives a bright light.

Technique: None, or the electric charge flickering for the normal logo. CGI for the Kids Choice Awards variant. The rotating variant was produced by Studio City.

Music/Sounds: A buzzing sound; the volume varies with each show.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Some shows just played the ending theme.
 * On Mr. Meaty, later episodes of The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo, and some early season 6 episodes of The Fairly OddParents, the buzzing sound played over the end theme (this audio variant also appeared on split-screen credits of Mr. Meaty, where this logo was plastered by the 22nd Nickelodeon logo).
 * The 1999 Kids Choice Awards variant has a deep-sounding synth tune (sounding almost like it was played on a didgeridoo) followed by a cymbal crash and twinkling noises, which segues into the normal buzzing sound.

Availability: Very common during the era it was used, but now it's rare thanks to plastering.
 * The animated version with the purple background is extinct, and was only used for the telecast of the 1999 Kids Choice Awards.
 * This logo can be seen at the end of Kenan & Kel (starting with season 2), along with reruns on NickSplat (not falling victim to the split-screen (and recently the "over the last scene") credits), as well as pre-2007 Nick series such as Drake & Josh, Unfabulous, and the first 4 episodes of iCarly.
 * Strangely, some animated Nickelodeon shows used this logo in favor of the 1991 "haypile" logo, such as KaBlam!, some early season 6 episodes of The Fairly OddParents, some early season 6 episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants (before it switched to the 2008 "lightbulb" logo), and Pelswick. This logo is not usually preserved on DVDs and VHS tapes of Nick shows, and is usually replaced by the 1991 "haypile" logo.
 * This logo is still retained on instant streaming prints of Nick shows from the time, such as on Paramount+. It's also preserved on VOD prints of Drake and Josh and Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.
 * While Schneider's Bakery shows eventually stopped using this in favor of the 2007 logo, Just Jordan kept this logo until the show ended in 2008.
 * This logo appeared when NickSplat reran Double Dare 2000 in celebration of Double Dare 's revival during the week of June 29, 2018.
 * Extinct for the Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide variant, as German TV channels commonly cut off end credits entirely.
 * The short version of this logo also made a surprise appearance on the Where Nick Was Made video, uploaded by the Splat/NickRewind YouTube channel on May 26, 2016.
 * This logo was also plastered by the 1990 haypile logo on some prints of Drake & Josh and Zoey 101.
 * This logo was used in tandem with the 2006 and 2007 "CGI Splat" logos and the 2008 "lightbulb" logo.
 * The rotating variant was rarely seen during the Nickelodeon portion on Studio City's 2001 Demo reel.

19th Logo (South Korean Blue's Clues Variant) (Late 1990s-Early 2000s)
Logo: On a white background, an orange oval with the Nickelodeon wordmark is seen. Copyright info is shown below.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Extinct. Only seen on the South Korean adaptation of Blue's Clues.

20th Logo (September 4, 2000-September 2006)
Logo: On a light blue background, the Nick logo with a weird shape (usually "Cloud 2") bounces around the screen before stopping in the center. Copyright info (which varies in font depending on the show it follows) appears below. Sometimes, copyright info can be seen while the logo is animating.

Objects:


 * Baroque
 * Electron
 * Evolution
 * Amoeba
 * Flower
 * Radishes
 * Frontier
 * Cloud 2

Trivia:
 * This logo is based on the main on-air look that Nickelodeon used from September 4, 2000 to October 10, 2002, which was designed by AdamsMorioka. Also, this logo debuted on the same day that said rebrand took effect.
 * According to the designers, each shape has a name. See the captions of the pictures above for details.
 * On 2010-13 airings of Klasky-Csupo-produced Nicktoons with split-screen credits, between the transition of KC's "Splaat" logo and the 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo, you can actually see a split-second of this logo (just the blue background).
 * The "kids laughing" audio is taken from the Hanna-Barbera "Lost Treasures" sound effects library; it was used in the Wunschpunch episode "Terrible Toddlers" and a commercial for Wowwee's Untamed.

Technique: 2D (presumably Flash) animation.

Variants:
 * A still version with no copyright notice exists.
 * An animated version with no copyright notice also exists, and is known to have appeared on an airing of Barbie of Swan Lake. The "Cloud 2" shape is seen when the logo animates, but changes to the "Flower" shape when it stops.
 * On The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, the Frederator-produced Nicktoons (some early season 2 episodes of The Fairly OddParents actually used this while other episodes used the Nicktoons splat), Danny Phantom, The X's, and Invader Zim, this logo was used in tandem with the Nicktoons/Nickelodeon Animation Studios logo until 2006.
 * On Taina, the 1996 "lightbulb" logo and the Nickelodeon Studios logo are used instead of this one.
 * On airings of the 2004 film Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper (and possibly other Mattel movies and specials), the background is white and the Mattel logo appears in place of the Nickelodeon logo. Also, the copyright notice is edited to refer to Mattel instead of Nickelodeon.

Music/Sounds: Depends on the era:
 * September 4, 2000-July 2001:
 * The ending theme of the show.
 * On shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Doug, Hey Arnold!, and CatDog, the audio from the 1996 "lightbulb" logo is used.
 * The sounds of an engine revving and a xylophone ditty that ends when the logo stops moving. Some shows such as Ren & Stimpy and Are You Afraid of the Dark? have their ending theme cut off for this.
 * The audio from the preceding promo on Nickelodeon's split-screen credits is sometimes used.
 * An odd buzzing sound, which was used on airings of shows such as Doug and Are You Afraid of the Dark? in October 2000.
 * Three laser sounds, which were used on mid-2000 airings of Ren & Stimpy.
 * August 2001-September 2006:
 * The sound of kids laughing. The sound later became the signature laugh of Nickelodeon and would also later be featured in the 22th and 24th logos.
 * The ending theme of the show.
 * On the Mattel version, a majestic tune.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys, Rocket Power, and As Told by Ginger, the "boing" sound effect from the KC "Splaat" logo segues into this logo's "kids laughing" audio.
 * On certain shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Hey Arnold!, CatDog, and Doug, the preceding logo's audio plays over this logo.
 * On at least one airing of Hey Arnold!, the "kids laughing" audio and the continued Snee-Oosh theme both play.
 * For a brief time in summer 2005, there was an announcer (possibly a female adult or an older child) that said "Next on Nick, [SHOW NAME]."
 * During split-screen credits of The Amanda Show and on one episode of Pelswick, the buzzing sound from the 1996 "lightbulb" logo was used.
 * On Butt Ugly Martians, the "kids laughing" audio cuts from the middle.

Availability: Extinct. Was mainly used during split-screen credits between shows from 2000 to 2006 (which was done to simplify the creation of the credits).
 * This did not appear on several airings of Avatar: The Last Airbender, whose split-screen credits omitted this logo in favor of the NAS "Nickelodeon splat".
 * Sometimes, it appeared on shows that weren't made by Nickelodeon but had split-screen credits, like Speed Racer X, My Dad the Rock Star and Butt Ugly Martians.
 * This logo was also used on the Nick on CBS block, due to the fact that the credits used for each show on the block were the same ones that Nickelodeon used.
 * The still version was last seen on TeenNick's 2011 rebroadcast of the 2000 Nick TV movie Cry Baby Lane; however, later airings on NickSplat removed that logo.

21st Logo (October 28, 2000)
Logo: On a black background, we see the Nickelodeon wordmark inside an orange oval. The word "presents" is seen below.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extinct.
 * It was only seen on Cry Baby Lane, which was last seen on NickSplat on October 31, 2016.
 * However, later airings removed this logo and cut straight to the film instead.

22nd Logo (May 27, 2006-September 12, 2011)
Logo: On a white/light blue gradient with green CGI bubbles, a bubble bursts and turns into a CGI Nickelodeon logo. Copyright info is shown below.

Trivia:
 * This logo was based on Nickelodeon's "Nick Extra" bumpers used from 2006 to 2008, as well as the network's branding from the same year.
 * A similar concept would later be used for the next logo, which is described below.

Variants:
 * On Wayside, there is no copyright info, and orange text reading "This has been a presentation of" (in the same font as the show's credits) is seen above.
 * A widescreen version of this variant exists which is slightly zoomed in and stretched.
 * Another version of this variant exists where the text on the top is in a more generic font.
 * On Back at the Barnyard and The Fairly OddParents episode "77 Secrets of The Fairly OddParents Revealed", the logo lacks copyright info.
 * On all Three Delivery shorts, the logo is completely still.
 * On Making Fiends, the logo is in black and white.
 * On a 2007 airing of Just Jordan, if you look closely near the end, the 2006 copyright stamp appears due to a plastering error.
 * On an airing of SpongeBob SquarePants from September 26, 2009, this logo appears for one frame after the 2009 logo (which wouldn't begin full-time use for another two days) due to a split-screen credits error.
 * Another high-definition widescreen version exists where the 4:3 logo is sandwiched in between two teal lines (similar to the 2007 Disney Channel Originals logo).

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Normally the ending theme of the show.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes it's the "kids laughing" audio from the 2001 version of the 2000 "Abstract" logo.
 * The preceding logo's audio on split-screen credits of SpongeBob SquarePants and Hey Arnold!.
 * On some shows, the audio of the the 1996 "lightbulb" logo continues over this one (just like the 2000 logo).
 * When this logo was first used during the summer of 2006, it had the "POP!" sound and gurgling sounds from the next logo. It was also used on the iCarly episode "iWanna Stay with Spencer".
 * On the end of Three Delivery shorts, it is silent.
 * On Back at the Barnyard, a short country tune is played.
 * On El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, the ending theme of said show plays, followed by a quote from the episode.
 * On split-screen credits of Jimmy Neutron episodes, the logo has the "Gotta blast!" audio from the show's variant of the NAS "Nicktoons" logo.
 * On split-screen credits of Mr. Meaty, this logo plasters the 1996 "lightbulb" logo, and has that logo's audio as a result. This was likely due to the "lightbulb" logo's audio being mixed in with the ending theme of the show.
 * On split-screen credits of El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, the "kids laughing" audio is used in a noticeably higher pitch and cuts the show's ending theme off. This only happened on Nickelodeon airings, as Nicktoons Network airings kept the end theme playing over this logo.
 * On Nickelodeon airings of the Team Umizoomi episodes "Counting Comet" and "Ice Cream Truck", the Bubble Guppies episode ("Boy Meets Squirrel!"), and the Dora the Explorer episode "Baseball Boots" from August 8, 2011, this logo was used due to plastering errors. As a result, the newer Nickelodeon Productions logo (for all 3 shows), as well as the logos for Curious Pictures (Team Umizoomi) and WildBrain Entertainment (Bubble Guppies) were plastered at once while retaining their respective audio.

Availability: Uncommon.
 * The first confirmed sighting of this logo was during an airing of ChalkZone on May 27, 2006. It was sporadically used during the summer of 2006, but it didn't fully come into effect until September of that year. Nick used this logo for split screen credits until March 2008 (shows on the TEENick block continued to use this logo, even after most shows switched to the 24th logo in January 2008). However, it was also used outside of the split-screen credits as a proper logo, thus allowing it to escape extinction.
 * The first use of this logo outside of split-screen credits was on The Naked Brothers Band in January 2007. It appeared on Tak and the Power of Juju and season 1 and early season 2 episodes of Back at the Barnyard. It was also strangely retained on split-screen credits of some shows on Nicktoons Network until that network's 2009 rebranding as just Nicktoons. Also, during Nickelodeon's The Ultimate SpongeBob SpongeBash marathon in July 2009, this logo was used during the split-screen credits of all SpongeBob episodes.
 * It's also been spotted on some pre-2014 airings of The Fairly OddParents episode "Fairly OddBaby", which surprisingly kept the original ending credits and logos intact, despite the credits being displayed on the bottom-left of the screen, and had the 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo play on the bottom right of the screen.
 * This is also seen internationally (unlike the 2009 logo without the word "Productions"), but not as commonly as the 2008 "lightbulb" logo. It was also shown on early season 6 episodes of The Fairly OddParents, as well as late season 5 and early season 6 episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants.
 * It was also seen on US airings of early El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera episodes, as well as Three Delivery shorts on Nicktoons Network (the latter of which have not re-aired since). It also appeared on the first three episodes of The Mighty B!.
 * The extended version was used on some DVDs of Nick shows from around late 2008 until sometime in 2009, such as on SpongeBob SquarePants: To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants.

23rd Logo (October 6, 2007-October 3, 2009)
Logo: On a teal-white radial gradient background with green bubbles (like the previous logo), we see an blob reading "NICKELODEON". It floats around for a second, then it rams into the screen and turns into a splat. The copyright info is below.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A "bubble" noise (same as the one on the previous logo), followed by a splatting noise.

Availability: Was common in its time, but now it's rare (due to plastering with the 24th logo).
 * It was seen on Schneider's Bakery sitcoms such as the first couple seasons of iCarly, starting with the episode "iNevel" and last seen on the episode "iCarly Awards" (early episodes had the 1990s "lightbulb" logo), and the final season of Zoey 101, along with Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh. Later Netflix airings of iCarly use the 25th logo.
 * This logo is still preserved on Amazon Prime Video and Paramount+ prints of said series.
 * Whenever Nickelodeon re-airs Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh, the over-the-last-scene credits play, causing this logo to be plastered with one of the 2017 logos below.
 * However, it is also intact on the movie's DVD release.
 * Also, on TeenNick airings of the iCarly special "iGo to Japan", this logo is surprisingly intact due to the fact that the special's original credits play at the end.
 * It was also strangely seen on few early season 6 episodes of The Fairly OddParents before that show switched to the 2008 "lightbulb" logo.

24th Logo (January 30, 2008-July 8, 2013)
Logo: On a black background, we see the Nickelodeon splat logo in 2D. Then, the background glows dark orange, and the splat transforms into an CGI lightbulb, an obvious homage to the 1996 lightbulb logo, which rotates towards the screen. Sometimes, copyright info is seen below. A reflection can be seen underneath both the splat and the lightbulb.

Trivia:


 * This logo was based off of Nickelodeon's morphing screenbugs from 2006 to 2009.
 * The logo was made as a replacement for Nick Jr. Productions at the end of Nick Jr. shows following the retirement of Nick Jr. Productions.

Variants:
 * There is an extended variant used for the 2008 Kids Choice Awards, Nick Jr. compilation DVDs starting 2008 and some other shows, in which the lightbulb changes back to the splat at the end.
 * The logo is shown without the copyright stamp on some Nick Jr. shows, Back at the Barnyard and the first 5 episodes of The Troop. However, some international reruns and more recent ones in the U.S. still had the copyright stamp.
 * On shows and movies produced in HD, a version exists where the logo is slightly different. The background glow and the Nickelodeon logo are in red-orange, and the text on the lightbulb has a 3D effect to it.
 * Sometimes, the logo is stretched (4:3 version stretched to 16:9).
 * On the 2008 Kids Choice Awards, the HD version is squeezed to 4:3.
 * Sped-up variants exist.

Technique: CGI by Ben Yonda.

Music/Sounds: The "kids laughing" audio from the 2001 "Abstract" logo. Otherwise the ending theme.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On some shows, the ending theme and the "kids laughing" audio are mixed together.
 * On split-screen credit airings of SpongeBob SquarePants, The seagull audio from the United Plankton Pictures logo plays over.
 * Sometimes, The audio from the 17th logo plays over (see the music/sounds sections of the 2006 "CGI Splat" logo and the 2000 "Abstract" logo).
 * Sometimes, It’s silent.
 * On split-screen airings of the Ni-Hao, Kai-Lan episode "The Ant Playground", the 2005 Nick Jr. Productions jingle may play over the logo without the copyright stamp. This is the only Ni Hao, Kai-Lan episode to use this logo with Nick Jr. Productions music; other episodes used this logo with the standard laughing sound effect.
 * On the Bubble Guppies episode "Can You Dig It?", the music from the next logo is used.
 * Some episodes of Back at the Barnyard would use the short country tune from the 2006 "CGI Splat" logo's variant.
 * Airings of Jimmy Neutron with this logo would use the "Gotta blast!" audio variant.
 * The last SpongeBob episode to use this logo ("SpongeBob's Last Stand") used a different, softer laugh soundbite with less voices.

Availability: Was very common in its time of use, but now it's uncommon.
 * Again, like the previous logo, it was primarily used for split-screen credits until the 2009 rebrand. However, it was more widely used outside of the split-screen credits compared to the previous logo.
 * Strangely, it also appears on the SpongeBob SquarePants episodes "SpongeBob's Last Stand" and "The Clash of Triton", which premiered after the 2009 rebrand, on DVD and Nicktoons. It was also seen on SpongeBob SquarePants episodes from season 6 to early season 7 (when it switched to the 2009 logo), The Fairly OddParents since season 6 until 2009, The Mighty B!, Back at the Barnyard, The Penguins of Madagascar, later episodes of El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, the first ten episodes of Team Umizoomi, Dora the Explorer episodes from season 5 (when it switched to the 2009 logo on "Swiper the Explorer", "Dora's Big Birthday Adventure" and season 6 episodes), DVD prints of Olivia, Blue's Clues, Max & Ruby, Yo Gabba Gabba!, and early episodes of Fanboy and Chum Chum. This logo was last seen on a 2013 rerun of The Backyardigans episode "Follow the Feather".
 * The bylineless version can also be seen on some Nick Jr. shows, and plasters over the Nick Jr. Productions logo along with the first five episodes of The Troop on NickToons.
 * This is seen more commonly outside of the United States. Ironically, Nickelodeon Latin America still used this logo in newer episodes of shows until one point.
 * It was also seen at the end of VOD releases of a few SpongeBob SquarePants episodes in 2010. Also, some 2009 DVDs have the extended version of this logo. It also appears on Square Roots: The Story of SpongeBob SquarePants.
 * Strangely, the 2010 TV movie The Boy Who Cried Wolf used this logo, despite it premiering a year after the 2009 rebrand. It was also spotted on the Bubble Guppies episodes "Can You Dig It?" and "Happy Clam Day!", which premiered in September 2011.
 * The HD variant only appeared on season 1 episodes of True Jackson VP, early episodes of Fanboy and Chum Chum, early episodes of The Penguins of Madagascar, season 1 episodes The Fresh Beat Band and other shows produced in 16:9.

25th Logo (September 26, 2009-)
Logo: On a white background, a few CGI lines bounce and connect together to form the new Nickelodeon logo (which is simply the word "nickelodeon" in its new customized typeface (unofficially called "Litebulb"). After this, "PRODUCTIONS" fades in underneath the logo and a copyright notice appears below.

Trivia: The new logo was introduced in July 2009 and officially on September 28, 2009. However, Nickelodeon used this logo by accident two days earlier on most airings of their programs.

Variants:
 * A version without a copyright stamp was spotted on split-screen credits airings of T.U.F.F. Puppy and Victorious.
 * There is a variant without the word "PRODUCTIONS" and copyright info, used as a defacto home video logo on DVDs of Nickelodeon shows distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment.
 * A small in-credit version of this logo is seen on 2010-2014 Big Time Rush and Victorious reruns on Nickelodeon.
 * There is a shorter version of this logo seen on 2010-17 episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants and early episodes of The Loud House.
 * On shows produced by Nickelodeon's Australian unit, the words "A Nickelodeon Australia Production" are seen above the copyright stamp.
 * On TeenNick reruns of All That, the first three seasons of Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn, the first two seasons of School of Rock, and some other shows, the logo is in warp speed.
 * NickMom shows used a variation of the logo featuring various still shots of a woman's high heels (with Dora The Explorer bandages on her achilles) on a purple background. The Nick logo flips in and "PRODUCTIONS" wipes in underneath it, as copyright info appears in black boxes with white texts, with the exception of the copyright symbol and year.
 * An extended version of this logo exists where it's just the white background for a few seconds before the animation starts.
 * A still version is seen on Nick-produced Netflix movies, specials and series such as Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, Pinky Malinky and Glitch Techs. It doesn't appear on The Loud House Movie and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, which uses the 2020 Nickelodeon Movies logo instead of this for some reason (animated at the beginning, still at the end in the first movie and appears in-credit).
 * On various airings of Nick shows on September 26, 2009, two copyright notices would appear on the logo: one from 2009 (when the logo first appeared), and another depending on when the show's episode came out.
 * On some shows, such as The Mighty B!, some episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, and Robot and Monster, the copyright notice appears later, right when the Nickelodeon logo is almost done forming.
 * On Vikki RPM, a alternate version is used where the Nick logo is thrown at the left.
 * On Papaya Bull, the text "Uma coprodução" is seen to the top left of the logo.

Technique: CGI animation done by Trollbäck+Company in New York.

Music/Sounds: An electronic beat followed by a guitar-led rendition of the last five notes of the Nickelodeon jingle. The NickMom variant uses a different theme.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Some shows use a shortened version of the music.
 * Sometimes, the end theme is used instead.
 * Sometimes, it can be silent.
 * T.U.F.F. Puppy uses a quiet guitar riff from the show.
 * On iCarly, Victorious, Sam & Cat, Henry Danger and Game Shakers, bubbling sounds are heard with the normal theme.
 * On split-screen credits airings of iCarly, Victorious, Drake & Josh and Zoey 101, the bubbling sounds aren't heard and the first few notes have been remixed before going to the more familiar theme. This was last seen in November 2012, when TeenNick's split-screen credits would play logos in fullscreen with audio.
 * On a few season 8 Dora the Explorer episodes and episode 1 of Deadtime Stories, the music is lower-pitched.
 * On The Loud House, the final segment of the end theme trails into the beginning of the logo.
 * On at least one print of Team Umizoomi, it used the laughing sound from the 2001 split-screen credits logo. This also happened on airings of various iCarly episodes on September 26, 2009, and again on an airing of the iCarly episode "iNevel" on November 1, 2009.
 * On some season 7 episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, the end theme of the show and the laughing sound from 2001 plays at the same time.
 * On I Am Frankie and Vikki RPM, the logo has a strange techno-rock remix of the music. The music actually originated from some bumpers used from 2009 to 2012.
 * On airings of various SpongeBob SquarePants episodes on September 26, 2009, the logo had the audio of the following United Plankton Pictures logo because of the fact that the split screen credits accidentally used this logo instead of the 2008 "Lightbulb" logo.
 * On some season 2 episodes of Glitch Techs (except for "BITT Prime"), an 8-bit video game version of the Nickelodeon theme is played.
 * On split-screen credits airings of The Backyardigans, the show’s closing theme plays for half of the logo's duration, before cutting to the logo’s regular music.
 * On the Rugrats "Outdoor Shenanigans" DVD, the logo's music and a quote from the show played at the same time.
 * On a November 2012 CBS airing of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!", a generic theme is playing.

Availability: Current, though it was easier to find back then.
 * Appears on all Nick shows starting in September 2009, with it also being used to plaster every previous logo on the split-screen (and later compressed) credits.
 * The NickMom logo is very rare due to the block being shut down in late 2015, but is still preserved on iTunes prints of NickMom shows.
 * The extended version is extinct, due to it being seen on split-screen credits airings of T.U.F.F. Puppy. It was retired on Nicktoons (the channel) as of May 2014, and 2009-13 Nickelodeon and Nicktoons airings of Making Fiends.
 * This logo was first spotted on most programs on Nickelodeon's schedule on September 26, 2009, but didn't officially premiere on Nick channels and replace the previous logo until two days later. However, starting with the 2017 Kids Choice Awards, shows are slowly starting to phase this logo out with various variants of the logos below. However, some programs still continue to use this logo, notably on Netflix.
 * Despite this logo starting to be phased out as of 2017, it is still used as a defacto home video logo by Nickelodeon Home Video and in lower-third credits on some shows on Nicktoons and TeenNick.

26th Logo (September 18, 2010-)
Logo: On a black background, the Nickelodeon logo with the word "PRESENTS" in a font below it quickly fades in. The logo zooms in a little and quickly fades out.

Variants:
 * On Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, the logo fades in and out as usual, but this time, it’s superimposed over the beginning scene of the movie and doesn’t zoom in at all.
 * On Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, the logo first appears around 5 minutes into the movie and fades in as usual, superimposed over the movie scene. It starts zooming into the screen until we get through between the L and the O of the Nickelodeon logo.
 * Most of the time, "presents" would be in a different font.
 * Sometimes, the logo would be superimposed over the opening.
 * On The Loud House Movie and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, the text reads "A Nickelodeon Production" instead, most likely due to being a direct co-production with Netflix.

Technique: Other than simple fading/zooming effects, none.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability:
 * It was first seen on Fred: The Movie.
 * It also appears on the Nickelodeon TV movie Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie and the Netflix-exclusive films Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling, Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, and as a variant on The Loud House Movie and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie.
 * It is still in use as of 2021 with Nickelodeon TV movies still using this logo, most recently seen on A Loud House Christmas.

27th Logo (March 11, 2017-)
Logo: On a light blue background, we see the word "nick" in the same font as the previous two logos appear, with the "n" and "i" (which is initially stretched to the top of the screen) forming in a similar fashion to the 25th logo, the "c" sliding out from the "i", and the "k" flipping in counterclockwise. It then cuts to a further shot of the letters with a boy skateboarding down an line below them. Then, it cuts to another shot with the boy skateboarding down the "i", two lines on the left and right sides of the logo, a girl sitting on the left line and a boy playing on the bottom line, before it cuts to a girl holding on to the "i" and pulling it, before letting go of it, causing the camera to cut to another shot of the letters in "nickelodeon" popping in, with "PRODUCTIONS" (which is smaller and in a different font (named Galano Grotesque) than in the 25th logo) sliding down from below the logo, similar to the Microsoft PowerPoint "Peek In" effect.

Variants:
 * A more common short version exists where the part with the kids has been cut and the logo starts where the Nickelodeon logo comes in.
 * Another version without a copyright notice and the word "PRODUCTIONS" exists.
 * On an episode of TeenNick Top 10, the logo was further extended, showing its full form.
 * Starting with season 2 of Knight Squad, the logo has been slightly modified. The background is in a slightly lighter blue color, the bottom portion of the background has a pattern of a tile floor, the screen shakes when the Nickelodeon logo pops on screen, and the copyright notice is now in a much thinner font and in gray. This version is based on an updated version of the 2017 Nick rebrand since March 25, 2018.
 * On the Nick Jr. shows Santiago of the Seas and Baby Shark's Big Show!, the word "PRODUCTIONS" is omitted.
 * On the Israeli show PPS: Personal PopStar, the background is beige and the copyright notice and the word "PRODUCTIONS" are omitted.

Technique: A mix of live-action and 2D animation. This and the remaining logos were done by Superestudio.

Music/Sounds: The short version uses a techno remix of the Nickelodeon jingle with a "teen-friendly" drum beat, while the long version uses an extended version, and the TeenNick version has a slightly longer version of the extended version. This was also used as part of Nickelodeon's 2017 rebranding. Composed by Explosion Robinson.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes, the end theme plays over it or the logo is silent.
 * On some episodes of That Girl Lay Lay, the music from the next logo is used.

Availability: Used in tandem with the next and the 2009 logo.
 * The full version was only used on certain shows using time compressed credits from March 11 to April 3, 2017, and again from July 5 to August 13, 2017(?). It is currently unknown if this will be used on other shows.
 * The short version is seen on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles short (entitled "TMNT Team-Up!: No Fly Zone") which debuted on June 11, 2017 on Nickelodeon's YouTube channel, and debuted on the season 3 premiere of School of Rock and on the second episode of Sunny Day.
 * The TeenNick version was only seen on an episode of TeenNick Top 10.
 * The modified version is currently seen on season 2 episodes of Knight Squad and the 2021 reboot of iCarly. It also appears on Overlord and the Underwoods, a Canadian sitcom which Nickelodeon co-funded production for and airs internationally and recently Snow Day (2022), a remaked of 2000 film of the same name.

28th Logo (March 11, 2017-)
Logo: On a white background, we see some balloons with the letters of "nick" (in the same font as the previous three logos) on them cover up the screen for a few seconds before floating up off-screen. As this happens, the letters in the Nickelodeon logo (also in the Litebulb font) float up and form the logo as "PRODUCTIONS" (in Galano Grotesque Alternate, like in the previous logo) fades in and slides up below the logo like the "Float In" animation effect in Microsoft PowerPoint. The middle letters bounce a bit. A copyright byline (in the same font as "PRODUCTIONS") sometimes appears below.

Variants:
 * A shortened version exists where the balloons are almost offscreen.
 * A longer version exists where we first get a close-up of the "n" balloon, followed by one of the "i" balloon, then the camera zooms out to reveal the other three and the animation proceeds as normal.
 * On some shows, such as The Loud House, PAW Patrol (removed from TVOKids and Knowledge Kids airings due to time compression), SpongeBob SquarePants, The Patrick Star Show, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Shimmer and Shine, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, and The Casagrandes, the word "PRODUCTIONS" is absent.
 * On The Loud House short "The Maltese Bear", the logo is grayscale to fit the short's theme.
 * On Star Trek: Prodigy, the logo is cropped to a Cinemascope aspect ratio, has an extended copyright notice, and is very shortened to the point where the balloons aren't even visible at all.

Technique: A mix of 2D and CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A light tune (that's reminiscent of Mexican music) ending with an instrumental (but slightly rearranged) version of the Nickelodeon jingle. Like the previous logo, the music was composed by Explosion Robinson, and also used as part of Nickelodeon's 2017 rebranding.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes, the end theme plays over it (in the case of The Casagrandes) or the logo is silent.
 * On The Loud House (starting with the episode "Lynn-er Takes All"), the music from the 2009 logo is used for some odd reason, and also has the end theme trailing off into the logo.
 * On I Am Frankie, this logo has the same audio variant from when the show still used the 2009 logo (the music from some old 2009 bumpers).
 * On The Dude Perfect Show, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, The Patrick Star Show, Middlemost Post and Big Nate, same as the The Loud House variant but without the ending theme trail.
 * On the Big Nate episode "Valentine's Day of Horror", the closing song of the episode plays over the logo (continuing from the John Cohen Productions logo).

Availability: Current and common. In fact, this might be the most common 2017 Nickelodeon Productions logo.
 * The short version debuted after the 2017 Kids' Choice Awards, and is currently seen on PAW Patrol episodes starting with "Pups Save a Baby Octopus" (removed on TVOKids and Knowledge Kids airings due to time compression), as well as on later episodes of The Loud House and SpongeBob SquarePants, all episodes of both The Casagrandes and It's Pony, and the final episodes of Bunsen Is a Beast before its cancellation in early 2018 and the latter show becoming hard to find, even on physical media.
 * Also seen on shows such as Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Top Wing, and The Patrick Star Show, among others.
 * The longer version is seen after shows after Nickelodeon USA and NickSplat (the block on TeenNick) credits from May 3 to May 16, 2017, as well as on the short-lived Nick Jr. series Zoofari.
 * This was also seen at the end of The J Team, despite the 2020 Nickelodeon Movies logo appearing at the beginning.

29th Logo (March 13, 2017-)


Logo: On a purple background, we see the Nickelodeon logo with balls (which represent the heads of characters from various Nickelodeon shows) on it, bending in a downward curve. Then, the logo bends up, sending the balls flying up and offscreen. The word "PRODUCTIONS" and a copyright byline in white then fade in below.

Trivia: Characters featured in the logo include:
 * The title character of SpongeBob SquarePants

Availability: Extremely rare. Only appeared on the Behance page.

30th Logo (April 3, 2017-)
Logo: On a blue cloth-like background, the word "nick" in the same font as the previous three logos zooms out, and a zipper suddenly closes, covering up the words and revealing the 2009 Nickelodeon logo in white on a reddish-orange cloth-like background. The "l" gets launched upwards and spins in mid-air. When it lands, "PRODUCTIONS", in the same font as the previous three logos and in purple, appears below.

Variants:
 * A shorter version of the logo starts when the zipper covers up the word "nick".
 * An extended version of this logo starts on the reddish-orange cloth-like background, and an outline of the "k" with the blue cloth background inside of it zooms in (similar to the 2014 Sony logo) to make the background blue. The "n" and "i" form in a similar fashion to the 2017 "Playground" logo and the "c" slides out left from the right side of the "i" and the "k" tilts counter-clockwise and the animation continues normally.
 * There is a slightly longer version where the "n" slides from the left, followed the downside "i" and the "c" flash in before the finished product is shown.
 * On Star Falls, the 2021 reboot of Rugrats, and Transformers: EarthSpark, the logo is missing the word "PRODUCTIONS".

Technique: More simple CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Another techno remix of the Nickelodeon jingle (this time, with heavier-sounding drums) with the sounds of a zipper closing and a "woosh!" when the words are in the air, while the long version uses an extended version. Again, the music is composed by Explosion Robinson and also being part of Nickelodeon's 2017 rebranding.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes, the end theme plays over it or the logo is silent.
 * On 2017 Kids Choice Sports Awards Australia, a whoosh sound is heard in the special's end theme.
 * On a 2018 Nickelodeon commercial, different sounds were heard over the closing theme.

Availability: Current.
 * Seen on a selection of shows (namely those with the 31st logo and the next logo) during the mentioned network's credits from April 3, 2017 until May 3, 2017, then continued being used on July 13, 2017 and onwards. However, recent airings of The Casagrandes episode "Going Overboard/Walk Don't Run" on Nicktoons have ditched this logo for a static, superimposed Nickelodeon logo on the compressed credits.
 * The short variant is seen on The 2017 Kids' Choice Awards Sports and JoJo Siwa: My World, as well as the revival seasons of Bubble Guppies (S5-present).
 * The extended version appears on 2017 Kids Choice Sports Awards Australia.
 * The longer version appears on the 2018 Nickelodeon commercial.

31st Logo (May 16, 2017-)
Logo: On a golden yellow background, the Nickelodeon logo is seen in an dark orange color, but it's zoomed in so that only "nic" can be seen, and a boy is running on it. Then, it cuts some kids are lying down and standing on the letter "kelod". It then cuts to another shot as a boy runs from the top left side of the screen to the center from the screen and he jumps. Before the boy jumps, the camera zooms in on him and it then cuts to another shot with the Nickelodeon logo and the word "PRODUCTIONS" in white in the same font as the previous logos, with the two "e"s and the first "o" in "nickelodeon" being launched in the air, flipping and landing, and the "o" bounces before it settles down in place.

Variants:
 * A still version exists.
 * A version of the logo exists where "PRODUCTIONS" is absent.
 * A shortened version of the logo exists where it's shortened to where the boy jumps.

Technique: A mix of live-action and animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo for the long version, while the short version adds a "THUD" sound when the boy jumps.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Kids' Choice Awards Mexico 2021, a fast-paced techno remix of the Nickelodeon jingle with the chiptune choir is used.
