'''Availability:''' Uncommon. On TV, this logo mainly appeared on ''Blue's Clues''. It was last seen when the show reran on Nick Jr. (formerly "Noggin") on July 1, 2019, although the series is intact on Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+ and its VHS releases, with the exceptions of ''Blue's Birthday'', ''Blue's Discoveries'' and ''Blue's Safari''. Although ''Blue's Clues'' was the only show to air this logo on TV, the silent version without the copyright stamp can also be found on some VHS and DVD releases of ''Dora the Explorer'' and ''Little Bill''. The last ''Blue's Clues'' episode to use this logo was ''Blue's Big Holiday''. This will not appear on post-October 2003 releases because this is cut out, leaving the Nickelodeon "Haypile/Scribble". Starting in August 2001, a new elephants logo was made for international prints of ''Oswald''. It also should be seen on the UK and Portugal versions of ''Blue's Clues''.

'''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 {{color|limegreen|green}} background, we see two frogs, one {{color|orange|orange}} and one {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}. Then, a fly appears, and the {{color|orange|orange}} frog tries to catch it twice, but then the {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} frog catches it. The {{color|orange|orange}} frog is surprised and laughs with the {{color|dodgerblue|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.

==Final Note==
|
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. Appeared on several shows of the era, such as Gullah Gullah Island, Allegra's Window, and Little Bear episodes from 1995 to late-1999. Can still be found on VHS and certain DVD releases of said shows, as well as the end of the VHS of Blue's Clues: Blue's Safari. The still version can be also found at the beginning of the Blue's Clues video trailer on the VHS releases of Blue's Discoveries, Blue's Big Treasure Hunt, Blue's Big Pajama Party, Blue's Safari, Magenta Comes Over, and Stop, Look, and Listen, as well as The Rugrats Movie. This was also preserved on reruns of Little Bear and Gullah Gullah Island when they last aired on Nick Jr. (formerly Noggin). Once the 3rd logo was introduced, this was used in tandem with it until the beginning of October 2000.
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 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.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Uncommon. On TV, this logo mainly appeared on Blue's Clues. It was last seen when the show reran on Nick Jr. (formerly "Noggin") on July 1, 2019, although the series is intact on Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+ and its VHS releases, with the exceptions of Blue's Birthday, Blue's Discoveries and Blue's Safari. Although Blue's Clues was the only show to air this logo on TV, the silent version without the copyright stamp can also be found on some VHS and DVD releases of Dora the Explorer and Little Bill. The last Blue's Clues episode to use this logo was Blue's Big Holiday. This will not appear on post-October 2003 releases because this is cut out, leaving the Nickelodeon "Haypile/Scribble". Starting in August 2001, a new elephants logo was made for international prints of Oswald. It also should be seen on the UK and Portugal versions of Blue's Clues.
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. Colcord animated this logo in his garage on a downshooter setup on glass. The background was a watercolor painting, Ed Navarro did the lighting, and the letters were animated in CG by Jeffery Roth.
Music/Sounds: A bongo rhythm and a tuba playing a rendition of the Nick Jr. "Just for me!" theme (used from 1998-2001), accompanied by kids laughing and a Hanna-Barbera "BOING!" sound when they jump. 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.

Variants:
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show, or in other cases, none.
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 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".

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 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. Seen on Season 2 of Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom and Peppa Pig during the 2nd half of Season 3 and all of Season 4, in addition to the 2015 specials. Usually seen whenever the latter airs on Nickelodeon, and even plasters the 4th logo at times, but sometimes it's removed. Other appearances include Poppy Cat, Tickety Toc, Zack & Quack, and Digby Dragon.
Post-2009 Nick Jr. shows now use the current Nickelodeon Productions logo instead.
