Please ensure the page is compliant with our formatting guidelines before submitting. Last edited by Vidpro23 (talk | contribs) 10 days ago. (Update) |
![]() | One or more descriptions on this page are missing or incomplete. If you have any further information on these logos, please consider editing this page to make our descriptions more complete. |
![]() | This article covers logos that contain flashing images. Editors should list the timestamps, under the videos where such content occurs. |
Visuals: The Nickelodeon logo is pulsating against a purple background. It cuts to dark images of Nickelodeon shows and stars. Then a Nickelodeon oval appears, and the image blurs. More footage is shown, then an orange Nickelodeon splat, and it stops pulsating. A red circle that reads "IS KIDS" appears below the logo.
Variant: A variant exists with the footage of the kids replaced with black and white footage of Nicktoons.
Technique: Computer effects and live action.
Audio: Almost throughout the entire ident, there is a heartbeat. There is also an idea/lightbulb sound effect but sounding a bit stuttering. A man says "Nick is..." and then ambience is heard and little swooshing noises can be heard and then the man says the same line and then what sounds like ambiance noise of a door closing several times before a small bang is heard which abruptly stops the heartbeat and then the man says "...kids."
Visuals: In a purple room, with an egg on a stand on top of a table full of Nickelodeon logos, a spoon taps on the egg, which gains the face of a monster, complete with green hair, horns, a bull's nose ring, and a giant mouth with fangs. The monster egg makes a weird noise resembling a low-pitched roar (think the MGM lion), which causes the spoon, which turns into a chicken, to start squawking in fear, then it runs off. The monster egg then looks at the camera, then turns towards it as he swallows the screen and as the Nickelodeon logo is shown imprinted on his uvula (the hanging ball in the back of your throat), and he makes the low pitched noise again.
Technique: CGI by Edward Bakst and Ampersand.
Audio: A weird brass theme that sounds a little like "Humpty Dumpty" when the spoon taps the egg, then a sample of the 1867 Modest Mussorgsky composition A Night On Bald Mountain starting when the egg becomes the monster. Low pitched grunts/roars from the monster egg (as well as a "Hmm?!" when he looks at the camera and chuckling when he starts to swallow the screen) and squawking from the chicken spoon are also heard.
Availability: It was once shown on NickRewind on TeenNick.
Legacy: Some may have been thrown off by the egg monster in this bumper, but it’s a memorable one from Nickelodeon’s classic era.
Visuals: On a purple flashing background, there are three kids in white suits painting an orange blimp. Then more kids come in and put the letters of the word "NICKELODEON" on the blimp.
Technique: Live action and computer effects.
Audio: A bunch of drums.
Visuals: A canvas falls down from the top of the screen. A green artist runs up to it carrying art supplies and a stool. He first uses a pencil, then grabs a paintbrush and splatters a bit of red paint, before throwing the palette onto the canvas. He then pulls out a cannon and throws some orange paint into it, he covers his ears and runs off screen as the cannon explodes. the canvas flies into air. the artist comes back into frame and catches it. He looks at the painting, His eyes turn into hearts before he kisses the painting. He then turns the canvas around to reveal the Nicktoons logo.
Variant: An early version of the ID has a different splat which has a static-like effect on it.
Technique: 2D animation by J.J. Sedelmaier Productions.
Audio: An upbeat theme, a stock explosion when the cannon explodes, the artist saying "UUH!" and something along the lines of "Make me sweat ah!"
Visuals: Depends on the variant, but all variants of this ID involve characters from one of the Nicktoons interacting with an orange object with the Nickelodeon logo on it.
Variants:
Technique: 2D animation. Most of the variations were done at Nickelodeon Animation Studio, while the Ren & Stimpy and Doug ones were done by J.J. Sedelmaier Productions, the Rugrats, Ginger, Thornberrys and Rocket Power ones were done by Klasky Csupo's commercial animation division Class-Key Chew-Po Commercials, the Jimmy Neutron bumpers were done by DNA Productions, and the Pelswick bumper was likely done by the Canada-based animation studio Nelvana.
Audio: Depends. It's usually the theme song of the show, culminating in the familiar Nickelodeon jingle, as well as sound effects and voice actors that correspond to what happens in the bumper. However, the Doug bumper, the Ren and Stimpy bumper, the Fairly OddParents bumper and the second Oh Yeah! Cartoons bumper do not use the Nickelodeon jingle.
Availability: The first Rugrats bumper was shown on NickRewind during a break in July 2017, and the Angry Beavers bumper was shown on NickRewind’s Twitter account during Throwback Thursday. The Jimmy Neutron bumpers were only used in 2001 to promote the film.

![]() | This logo contains flashing images at 0:00-0:01, 0:04-0:05, 0:12, 0:18 and 0:23-0:24. |
Visuals: On a black background, there is a white mannequin silhouette dancing toward the screen, and then it shakes its head and moves away (as if so not to invade personal space). The screen flashes as the colors invert, and a boy runs away from a Nickelodeon bomb. The bomb fades away, and the words "NICK" and "IS" appear before cutting to a schoolgirl thinking something. Then, she leans against the words "EVERY DAY", which fade out as dancing silhouettes drop down. They disappear as a Nickelodeon sun fades into the center of the screen while it flashes. "MON" appears with an orange silhouette of a boy, "TUE" appears with a kid doing her hair and a ringing alarm clock, "WED" and "THU" appear under the sun (with shadows), "FRI" appears with a green stick figure rotating over the "I" and falling to the ground. Then, a boy holds "SAT" and the image flips around to a girl holding "SUN". Then the words "NICK", "IS", and "EVERY DAY" flash in on a magenta, green, and blue background respectively. The Nickelodeon splat logo zooms in. The screen fades to black and the green silhouette is seen falling from the top of the screen and yelling "Nick is every day!"
Technique: Cut-out animation.
Audio: Minimal (that is, low and synthesized) jazz music and the guy yelling "Nick is every day!" at the end (voiced by Marc Summers of Double Dare).
Unknown
Visuals: An orange drip of slime falls and hits the ground, forming the Nicktoons logo at the time. Afterwards, it becomes a dolphin, which jumps and hits the ground, turning back into the Nicktoons logo. The logo then becomes a dinosaur that briefly walks before melting and turning back into the logo. Finally, the logo turns into a man who walks to the right. The man slips on a banana peel and forms the Nicktoons splat.
Variants:
Technique: CGI from Blue Sky Studios.
Audio: A hip-hop theme with sound effects for each transformation.
Audio Variant: The "Where's the Wand" variant uses a different edit of the music with most of the sound effects removed. The music continues to the title card.
Availability: It returned on The 90's Are All That (now NickRewind) on December 31, 2011. The variant only appeared in some prints of the Oh Yeah! Cartoons' Fairly OddParents short "Where's the Wand". The part where the guy slips on a banana peel was used in the beginning of a promo for Nicktoons tapes on the VHS version of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. It returned to television on October 5, 2015. It can be seen on NickRewind.
Legacy: A very creative and memorable ID for those that grew-up with Nickelodeon in the '90s.

See the Nickelodeon Home Video Opening page for a description.
Visuals: In a house with blue walls, a yellow door on the back, and a wooden floor, there is a boy's head rocking from side to side on a chair while watching television. A few moments later, thunder flashes, somewhat alarming the boy's head as the door opens to reveal orange mist outside.

Technique: Live action.
Audio: Same as the "Eggs" ID, with some wind sounds from the mist.
Visuals: Over a blue and orange flashing background is "ICE KOLD NEON" spelled under a black box where three girls say each word. Then it changes to "LIKED NO CONE" and the girls repeat it. Then it changes to "COOL KEEN DIN" and the girls repeat that. Finally, the word changes to a Nickelodeon oval as all the girls say "Nickelodeon".
Technique: Live action and computer effects.
Audio: The girls talking with bongos and weird music playing.
Visuals: Over a multi-colored flashing background is "DO NO CLINKEE" spelled under a black box where three girls say each word. Then it changes to "DEN LOOK NICE" and the girls repeat it.

Technique: Live action and computer effects, designed by Don St. Mars.
Audio: Rap rock music with Y-DX7 synth bass sounds, along with the pitch of the girl's voice raising and lowering.
Visuals: There are six dogs (or more specifically, wire fox terriers) tugging on a Nickelodeon sheet against a flashing blue and green background (a la a disco floor) as it zooms on the Nickelodeon logo. Then three dogs in orange Nickelodeon suits morph out of the sheet and dance. It zooms in on the middle dog as the logo is shown on his suit.
Technique: Pixilation and computer effects.
Audio: A woman saying "Do the Nick thing!" followed by dogs barking and girls singing the Nickelodeon theme with disco music in the background, the woman is singing "Nick is Kids!" ending with the girls singing "On Nick!"
Availability: This can be seen in a break bumper for NickRewind on TeenNick.
Visuals: There is a conductor with long hair, glasses, a mustache, and a short beard on a stage as he uses his baton to start the show. Then it zooms out on a lady (played by Karen Lagerstrom-Stevens) with a big orange wig that reads "NICKELODEON" wearing a purple dress singing the "Nick Nick Nick" jingle. It briefly closes up to her mouth. Then her whole body is shown as she loudly sings "Nick is kids!" Then the conductor is shown with a shocked look on his face as his glasses break from the high note.
Trivia: The opera lady was performed by Karen Lagerstrom-Stevens, whose niece worked as a trivia question and stunt writer for Double Dare at the time. The conductor was performed by Blue Brick's junior designer.
Technique: All live-action. This was directed by Paul Krygowski at Blue Brick Design in New York City, with camera by Greg Andracki, with editing by Peter Krygowski and Paul Collins. The wig was designed by Broadway prop maker Martin Izquierdo.
Audio: An orchestra is heard tuning up until after the conductor begins the show, then the lady sings with an orchestral number in the background with the sound of the conductor's glasses breaking at the end. Composed by David Baron and Tom Pomposello.
Availability: Last shown on TeenNick during The 90's Are All That (now NickRewind) for the week of December 27-31, 2011, along with several other classic Nick IDs. It's also the thumbnail for NickRewind's video "A Tribute to Nickelodeon Bumpers".
Visuals: A girl holds up a Nickelodeon bone to a black and white dog and throws it. Then a close-up of the spinning Nickelodeon bone is shown. Then the dog catches it.
Technique: All live-action, with a bit of CGI for the bone spinning.
Audio: The music from the "Ants" ident (more on that below) except with barking from the dog and the tempo is sped up.
Availability: It was recently posted on NickRewind's Twitter account during Throwback Thursday.
![]() | This logo contains flashing images for the whole duration. |
Visuals: In a very psychedelic, pop art-inspired "room", there are two picture frames with two fists made to look like faces (wearing a hat, some googly eyes, and painted-on "lips") on the right wall, and a picture frame with the Nickelodeon logo in it on the left wall. Two eyes, glasses, dentures and a tie drop down to the middle of the screen and float and bounce around while remaining in place to look like a face. As the colors of the background and even the Nick picture frame continually flash and change throughout the bumper, the fists do the "Nick Nick Nick" section of the Nickelodeon theme, with the Pinchface saying "Nickelodeon." (as it does this, the picture frame reads "Nickelodeon" instead of "Nick"). After the second time the Pinchface says "NickelOOOOOOdeOOOOON!", an orange background with "NICKELODEON" on it flashes three times.
Technique: A combination of chroma-key effects, pixilation, and puppetry.
Audio: A funky-sounding Balkan brass rendition of the Nickelodeon theme, sung by New York-based klezmer group The Klezmatics, and composed by David Baron. This was sung by Lorin Sklamberg.
Audio Variant: One version had the Pinchface do a count-off at the beginning in Yiddish: "Eyns, tsvey, dray, fir!" (translation: One, two, three, four!) This version can only be heard on the "The Jetsam Collection" disc of the "Nickelodeon Music & Sound Library" CD boxset.
Availability: It reappeared in a bumper for the 2011 Nickelodeon block The 90's Are All That (now NickRewind) on TeenNick. It's on NickRewind's promo "A Tribute to Nickelodeon Bumpers" for a few seconds, too. It's also on a 1994 Earth Day promo for Nickelodeon.
Legacy: A very creative and memorable ID for those that grew-up with Nickelodeon in the '90s.
Visuals: There is a group of kids in a circle as a man sings "Everybody over here." Then the Nickelodeon theme plays. The kids start to dance while carrying a Nickelodeon parachute as they walk in a circle. Two kids jump over the parachute as the rest of them dance. Then they cover themselves in the Nickelodeon parachute.
Technique: Live-action.
Audio: A male singer sings over funk drums "Everybody wants to bounce!" and a female singer sings "Nick!" The male singer resumes singing "Now everybody over here!" while the female singer sings the same word again. Then after a few seconds, the male singer sings "Nick" repeatedly, while the female singer sings "Nick is kids!"
Visuals: A bunch of bloated ants are on a picnic blanket with all the food eaten (including cheese, and a sandwich). One plays a guitar and another sticks out of a soda can with a night cap on as they all sing the "Nick Nick Nick" jingle while some ants hiccup. A quarter of the presented food have Nick or Nickelodeon logos on them. At the end, it zooms out so the camera can read the word "NICKELODEON" on the picnic blanket.
Trivia: A slightly sped-up version of the music was later reused in another Nickelodeon bumper featuring a girl and her dog (described above).
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: All the ants singing the "Nick Nick Nick" jingle with a guitar/ukulele playing in the background.
Availability: Last shown on TeenNick during The 90's Are All That (now NickRewind) for the week of December 27-31, 2011, along with several other classic Nickelodeon IDs. Aired on NickRewind beginning on December 2, 2015.
Visuals: On a black background, there is a Nickelodeon logo, which folds into a white screen covered in small dancing stick figures, which is constantly shaking. After a moment, the screen transitions into a close up of four of the aforementioned people, whose heads are shaped like a nickel, a sack or load, an "E", and a light bulb that turns on (it's a pun: "Nickel-Load-E-ON"). Then it wipes to the Nick logo which also shakes a bit.
Technique: Cut-out animation.
Audio: A heavy metal jingle with loud drums plays throughout almost the entire bumper. There's also a voice shouting "Come on now!" and other things, and the people yelling "Nick-Nick-Nick...". At the end, the guy screams "Nick is kids!"
Availability: It reappeared on NickRewind.
Visuals: In a blue room, there is a kid sitting on an odd-looking orange recliner. A group of kids appear behind and under the "chair", and the boy jumps off it, revealing it is a giant cross-shaped piece of fabric with "NICKELODEON" written on the center. The kids play with the fabric a bit, and then pretend to flap it as if it were a butterfly, at which point the fabric suddenly flies away on its own, much to the kids' confusion.
Technique: Sped-up live-action and puppetry.
Audio: A female singer scats and repeatedly sings "Nick" followed by the "Nick Nick Nick" jingle, ending with a male voice saying "Like, Nick is kids!"

Visuals: On a blue background with semi-transparent Nickelodeon logos, there is a box with a morphing Nickelodeon logo. The camera then enters the inside of the box. Then a green blob that looks like a mix of Klasky-Csupo's "Splaat", the Stretch Films "Laughing Mouth", and Slimer from the film Ghostbusters with a cartoonish eye and a realistic eye and flesh-toned funnel-shaped ears emerges from the bottom. The face sees the viewer and it laughs in a weird way. The box suddenly closes and the screen zooms out.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A drum-heavy theme, along with some weird giggling for the face.

Availability: Last shown on TeenNick during The 90's Are All That (now NickRewind) for the week of December 27-31, 2011, along with several other classic Nickelodeon IDs.
Visuals: There is a robed figure in black (presumably a magician) in front of the camera moving back to show a scene from the year 1905 (with a wrestler, a monkey and a clown in the background) as a girl runs into a nickelodeon theater. The girl puts a coin into a projector, which shows a loop of a man walking wearing a top hat and a suit and holding a cane. The loop slows down and the man grows a beard before a burst of green lightning transforms him into a man dressed in '70s fashion dancing. The scene cuts to him dancing with other children in a city with Nickelodeon signs, now in the year 1979 (when Nickelodeon was officially launched). The camera zooms over to show one girl dressed as the Statue of Liberty lighting an orange animal-shaped rocketship with "NICKELODEON" on it, which takes off and circles the globe before arriving on the other side of the world, where some bored children are seen standing in a dark environment. The rocketship brightens the environment and the children play with objects that it drops, including a robot, a frog, a monster, a party horn, and a chicken, which lays an egg with the Nickelodeon logo on it.
