Nickelodeon ("Coming Up Next" Bumpers)

1st Logo (1985-July 3, 1986)

Logo: On a black-periwinkle gradient background, multiple Nickelodeon logos with varying shapes scroll from left to right. The shapes include:

A blimp
An arrow
A cruise ship
A bone
A beaker
A paw print
A shark
A bomb
A turkey
An airplane
A dinosaur
A filmstrip
A taxi cab
A starburst
Dripping slime

Then, one of the logos moves to the center of the screen and flips around to reveal a clip from the show that's up next, as the word "NEXT" fades in near one of its bottom corners.

Variants:

Depending on the clip being shown, "NEXT" may be either white or orange to contrast against it.

Technique: 2D computer animation, along with the medium of the clip being shown.

Music/Sounds: Cartoon sound effects play throughout, i.e. a ship's horn blowing, a dog barking, an explosion, gargling, a car's horn honking, a splat, growling, bubbling, and an airplane flying by. An ascending slide whistle accompanies one of the logos moving to the center. Wendell Craig announces. A fitting sound effect may also correspond with the clip.

Music/Sounds Variants:

Danger Mouse 1: "Next on Nickelodeon, it's Danger Grouse! No, uh, Danger House. Danger Mouse! Hmm."
Danger Mouse 2: "Laugh with the world's greatest superhero! Danger Mouse is next on Nickelodeon!"
