Nickelodeon (Continuity Bumpers)

Credits

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!"
• Dennis the Menace: (trumpet blares) "Next on Nickelodeon, it's Dennis the Menace!"
• Lassie: "Stay tuned for... aww, Lassie. Next on Nickelodeon."
• Out of Control: "Stick around, 'cause Out of Control is next, on Nickelodeon!"
• Special Delivery: "Next on Nickelodeon: Special Delivery! Stay tuned."
• Star Trek: The Animated Series: "Next, Star Trek is beaming in, here on Nickelodeon!"
• Turkey Television: "Here comes Turkey Television, next on Nickelodeon!"
• Mr. Wizard's World: "Next on Nickelodeon, it's..." (explosion) "...wow! Uh, Mr. Wizard, next."
