Nick Jr. Productions was the television production arm of Nickelodeon's preschool block, Nick Jr., founded in 1993. On February 2, 2009, the Nick Jr. Productions brand was folded into Nickelodeon Productions, as Nick Jr. was re-branded as "Nickelodeon's Play Date" at the same time (though the block's name would return to Nick in 2014). However, international Nick Jr. channels (most notably Nick Jr. UK) continue to use a Nick Jr. production tag (usually in-credit) at the end of their shows.
Logo: On a white background, an orange dad with "NICK" on his body and a blue child with "JR" on his body (both in the Balloon font used by Nickelodeon at the time) are seen making "throwing" motions, like they are playing catch. The orange dad throws underhand and the blue child throws overhand. Several black lines and curved lines are drawn, tracing the motion of their arms. They jump to each other and hold their hands together. The copyright stamp is below.
Variants:
Technique: Digitally-colored cel animation by Lee Corey.
Music/Sounds: Usually the end theme of the show plays over.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Rare. This was originally used as part of Nick Jr.'s 1993-94 on-air branding.
Logo: On a black background, a still version of the Nick Jr. logo is seen (it varies in shape, like Nickelodeon's). The parent is orange and has "NICK" on its body while their child is blue and has "JR" on its body. It fades out after 3-4 seconds. The copyright stamp in the logo reads "© [YEAR] VIACOM International, INC.", or is sometimes absent.
Animals: The animals in the logo vary for each episode of Blue's Clues that has this logo (even episodes that have the same pair of animals) from the following:
Variants:
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: The end of the Blue's Clues closing theme, which concludes with a bass pluck and a small squeak. Composed by Michael Rubin (who also played Mailbox in the series).
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Uncommon.
Logo: On a yellow "swirly" background, we see the orange dad and the blue child from the 1st logo, both with "NICK" and "JR" on their bodies. They bounce around as the word "Productions", in a childish multicolored font with a little red heart on the letter "I", forms below them. The dad & child both hug after the logo completely forms (closely resembling a variant from the previous logo).
Trivia:
Variants:
Technique: Clay animation by Webster Colcord (who previously made the "Hippos" and "Lions" IDs).
Music/Sounds: A bongo rhythm with a tuba rendition of the Nick Jr. "Just for me!" theme (used from 1998-2001), with kids laughing and a Hanna-Barbera "BOING!" sound when they jump. This music was mixed at Clack Sound Studios.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Common.
Legacy: A very iconic and nostalgic logo, it is also quite infamous for being another subject of usually low-quality "logo edits" on YouTube. However, ever since Webster Colcord rediscovered the clay models, behind-the-scenes images of the logo started appearing online.
Logo: Essentially the same as the 1st logo, but it is still and in-credit.
Variants:
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the series or silence (in other cases).
Availability: Common. This was used mainly on international co-productions.
Logo: We see a postcard with a stamp placed on the right of the screen, with the orange dad and the blue son from the previous logos on it. The blue son jumps around, and is then picked up by the orange dad, with their final pose looking identical to one of the variants from the second logo. The text "A Nickelodeon UK Channel" fades in below the dad and son. A copyright stamp can be seen below.
Variant: An opening variant exists where the postcard, the stamp and the copyright stamp are omitted and after "A Nickelodeon UK Channel" fades in, big text reading "presents" (in a round font) fades in.
Technique: 2D animation.
Music/Sounds: The sound of a child giggling and laughing.
Availability: Extinct. This logo (and the opening variant) was a special variant exclusively used on the Nick Jr. UK original series You Do Too, which hasn't been seen since its original run outside of a brief rerun period in 2010, and so both the show and this logo are hard to find.
Logo: On a light blue/green gradient background, the orange dad and the blue child are seen standing. After a split second, a colorful waterdrop appears and the father bends down as the child points to it. More waterdrops are formed to make a puddle, which they jump around and splash in. The words "NICK JR" can be seen on their bodies like the 1st logo, while the word "productions" appears below. The dad and child hug after the company's name appears, and four bright yellow arcs form over the puddle.
Variants:
Technique: Digital 2D animation produced by Primal Screen in Atlanta, GA.
Music/Sounds: A nice piece of music played by a violin and an oboe, with the melody being a 4-note marimba tune followed by a 9-note clarinet sounder. The music is accompanied by kids laughing and puddle splashing sounds.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Uncommon.
Logo: Same as the 4th logo, but the new Nick Jr. logo (nickjr.) is used.
Variants:
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: The show's end theme, or nothing.
Availability: Common. Like the fourth logo, this is used on international co-productions.
Logo: On a green background, we see two frogs, one orange and one blue. Then, a fly appears, and the orange frog tries to catch it twice, but then the blue frog catches it. The orange frog is surprised and laughs with the blue frog as the words "NICK JR" appear on the frogs. Then, fireworks appear below them, spelling "PRODUCTIONS".
Technique: Cel-shaded CG animation by Virtual Persuasion.
Music/Sounds: A strange fantasy tune, a stock fly buzzing sound, the frogs giggling, and a five-note tune at the end based on Nick Jr.'s then-current "Where I Play To Learn/Play Along" jingle from 2001 to 2004.
Availability: This logo was created as a possible replacement for the 3rd logo, but it was never used on-air.
Legacy: For a long time, this logo was falsely rumored to have appeared on the premiere of Dora's Pirate Adventure. A possible reason why the logo was unused is that it used the previously mentioned "Where I Play To Learn/Play Along" jingle, which would've retired at that time.
Starting in 2009, Nick Jr. shows replace this logo with the current Nickelodeon Productions logo.
