Noggin IDs

Noggin Chia (1999-2002)
Logo: On a farm background with a cow, a farmhouse, flowers, farmland and grass, we see a red head with the Noggin sign as he wakes up and opens his eye, which is inside the "O". A watering can waters his head, and grass and flowers grow on his head. Then we hear "Noggin!" and the face smiles as the cow on the background falls down, revealing that it's a cardboard cutout.

FX: The grass growing, the cow falling down, which was produced at WildBrain (now as a company in Canada) in San Francisco, CA.

Music/Sounds: First a rooster crows, then a 7-note violin tune, then we hear a deep voice say "Noggin" followed by a 3-note guitar chord, then some tinkles, and then the 7-note tune again, and then we hear a 3 note violin tune and then we hear Noggin! again and then a cow moos.

Availability: Extinct on television.

Editor's Note: None.

Noggin Gold (1999-2001)
Logo: TBA

Variant: There's a short version that was used as the outro.

FX/SFX: Clay animation

Music/Sounds: A portion of "Night Fever" by Bee Gees.

Music/Sounds/Variant: There is a variant that has a alternated disco theme with a male announcer (sounding similar to radio comedian Marshall Efron) saying "Get down, get funky, with your bad self. The music's old, but hey, its gold." along with a female chorus saying "Noggin Gold!" with the man laughing. For the ending variant, the announcer says "Keep on goofing with Noggin" alongside the same female chorus.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Germs (1999-2001)
Logo: On a blue background, we see a bunch of bacteria and germs. Some of them are eating an amoeba, and some of them are moving around. After a few seconds, we zoom out to see the Noggin logo on an orange/yellow background with green skin, chicken pox on its face, a thermometer in its mouth, and an ice bag with the bacteria inside on his head. The Noggin logo's nose then drips snot, and it sniffs it back in.

FX/SFX: Clay animation for the germs, and 2D animation for the Noggin logo.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The germs moving and talking may get to some, especially for people with mysophobia, the fear of contamination and germs.

Made for Noggin, By Nick Jr. (1999-2009)
Logo: On a purple/white gradient background, we see the Noggin logo with nothing at the top. Suddenly, blue and orange blobs of clay fly to the logo, making the Noggin logo surprised. Several hands come out and shape the clay blobs into two ducks, with "NICK" on the orange clay and "JR." on the blue clay. The logo smiles.

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music/Sounds: A bouncy tambourine tune with glob/swapping sounds and an announcer saying "This show is made for Noggin, by Nick Jr".

Music/Sounds Variant: From 1999 to 2002, it was a xylophone tune with a young girl announcer saying "This show is made just for you, by the big Noggin and Nick Jr.". There is also a quacking noise when the ducks appear.

Availability: Extinct. Seen at the beginning of all Noggin shows that aired on Nick Jr as well. When the Nick Jr. block discontinued in 2009, the bumper was retired.

Editor's Note: None.

Made by the big Noggins at CTW (1999-2003)
Logo: TBA

Variants:
 * There is a later version with the Sesame Workshop "House of Boredom" instead of the CTW "The Bouncing Letters" logo.
 * There is a variant of the Sesame Workshop Variant where the background is green.

FX/SFX: 2D animation for the Noggin logo, and the footage of the CTW/Sesame Workshop logo.

Music/Sounds: A hip-hop beat alongside a girl saying "This show was made by the big Noggins at CTW, you know, the Children's Television Workshop!". The green background version of the Sesame Workshop variant has a short version of the Noggin Chia music with a boy saying "This show was made by the big Noggins at Sesame Workshop". Another version of the Sesame Workshop variant has a different girl saying the same line.

Availability: Extinct. Only appeared on Sesame Street Unpaved, a syndication package of episodes from the first 20 seasons of Sesame Street. For more information, click these links.

Editor's Note: None.

Lever (1999-2002)
Logo: We see a lever in a room. A girl comes by and takes turns staring at it and the camera, before she says "hmm", takes her head off and places it down. Her body then jumps on her head and pulls the lever, and a Noggin picture frame appears as the head says "Use your Noggin!".

FX/SFX: A mix of 2D and cut-out animation, produced at Fablevision in Boston, MA.

Music/Sounds: The girl saying "hmm", followed by a pop when the girl's head falls off, and then an 8-note guitar tune and the girl saying "Use your Noggin!". A robot (the same one from the first Noggin Originals logo) then says "noggin".

Availability: Extinct on television.

Editor's Note: The girl taking her head off could creep out some people.

Running (1999-2001?)
Logo: We see a young girl with long hair is running through streets.

FX/SFX: Collage animation.

Music/Sounds: Very catchy.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Rollercoaster (1999-2002)
Logo: On a starry purple background, we briefly look at the sky before the camera moves into a very psychedelic-looking amusement park-like area with flying atom shapes with lights coming out of them and a strange orb with lights coming out of it before going onto a roller coaster, where the camera moves across the tracks at lightning fast speed. The camera swerves all around the track until it reaches the orb, where it flies over it and then dive bombs into a 2001: A Space Odyssey-like tunnel, flying out of the "O" in the Noggin logo before the eye fades in. As we zoom out, we see that the area was a cap and the logo's face in orange is spinning. As we go into a comfortable position, the cap closes up, with lights still coming out, and the face stops spinning, then smiles.

FX/SFX: The camera moving with the coaster, and the head spinning. Good 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: An amusement park-like tune, with screams and chimes. Once we are off the track, everything stops. Then once we enter the hole, a loud whoosh is heard, then, the end of the tune plays, with some laughter once we see the Noggin logo.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Soup (1999-2004)
Logo: On a pink background, we see a boy in a boat. When we zoom out, we see the edges of a bowl, revealing that the boy's rowing his boat in some alphabet soup, and we zoom out some more to reveal that the bowl is on top of the Noggin logo. The boy says "Letters! And numbers! Soup!" Then a star in the sky and the Noggin logo licks its lips.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A boat rowing, the boy saying "Letters! And numbers! Soup!" and its echo when we zoom out, and a licking sound when the logo licks its lips.

Availability: Extinct, was seen on some Noggin airings of Gullah Gullah Island until 2004, plastering the 1990 Nickelodeon Studios logo. When it came back to the network in 2007, this logo was removed, and the 1990 NS logo was used.

Editor's Note: None.

NOTE: On April 1, 2002, the entire Noggin channel was repurposed to aim at preschoolers instead of preteens. This changed its programming to have more preschool-aimed shows (Oobi, Play with Me Sesame, etc.), and rebranded its look. All ID's from February 2, 1999 to March 31, 2002 (with expectation of the "Made for Noggin, by Nick Jr." ID, which lasted until 2009) became extinct, and were replaced with new bumpers to fit the preschool demographic.
