The Young People's Satellite Network
(1979-1980)


Nicknames
: "Yes, Nick existed in the 70s!", "Nickelodeon Before SpongeBob", Nickelodeon Machine

ID: The camera zooms in at a table with a nickelodeon at the top. Then, we see a boy putting his eyes on a pair of goggles. The camera fades to the first Nickelodeon logo, which shows a man looking at a nickelodeon machine on top of the N.

FX/SFX: Live action.

Music/Sounds: The clicks of the nickelodeon, and the announcer, Phil Tonken, saying "Introducing... Nickelodeon. Children's programming that's fit for children. 14 hours of programming a day, 7 days a week that will make them wonder, laugh, ponder, and think."

Later Music/Sounds Variant: A piano tune, which sounds like something played over a silent film, now plays, and the announcer says "We took everything that was wrong with children's television and got rid of it. We kept everything that was good about it and made it better. The result is Nickelodeon, the Young People's Satellite Network."

Availability: Extinct. It was only used for one year very early in the channel's existence as Nickelodeon. In fact, this ID's very existence was not known until a couple of years ago, when a video of both variants was uploaded to YouTube.

Editor's Note: The irony of this logo's narration will also make you laugh. However, this ID is a really fascinating example of early Nickelodeon.




Nickelodeon Mime
(1980-1981)

Nickelodeon 1980 Mime 1Nickelodeon 1980 Mime 2nickmime.jpgNickelodeon Mime (1980)Nickelodeon Mime Broom

ID: We see a mime performing an act. The text "Nickelodeon" in the font used in the show "Pinwheel" appears one way or another.

Variants: As this appears between the programming, Nickelodeon switched around the acts that the mime does, at various lengths depending on how long it took for Nickelodeon to start the next program. Some found variants include:
  • The mime taking off his hat and making a funny face with the text fading in. Then the picture shrinks onto the magazine. Afterwards, the mime pulls down the magazine, winking at us once his head is visible. Then, he resumes reading it.
  • The mime doing tricks with his eyes, with the text fading in on his hat.
  • The mime's hat with his hand hiding under the hat. His fingers rise the hat to wave, and after the text fades in, sets the hat down.
  • Another variant involves the mime finding a broom, putting his hat onto it, and dancing with it. The text fades in when he starts dancing.

FX/SFX: Live action.

Music/Sounds: Just a rendition of Teresa Brewer's 1950 hit song "Music, Music, Music!".

Music/Sounds Variants:
  • Sometimes, a jazz-like version of the music was used.
  • On the hat variant, a narrator says "Nickelodeon. Innovative, non-commercial, cable television programming for young people. Kids are finally getting the kind of television they deserve."

Availability: Same as above. However, recently, a bunch of these IDs began to surface on YouTube.

Editor's Note: Like the previous ID, it's
another fascinating example of early Nickelodeon, especially how the ID was used before commercials were introduced.

Silver Ball in the Air (Neon City)
(1981-1985)

<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="207" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/e42d026f9a26821bcbcee2821033345eed1fc1e0" width="275"></iframe>
ID: A silver ball is seen moving to the viewer on a black background (with maroon on the bottom), It flashes and turns black with flashing neon effects inside the ball. Another ball looking the same appears next to it on the left, which then shows a sparkly neon area where the 2 balls are moving to the back which another one appears on the left of the 1st ball. Then it cuts to the top with the sparkly neon intact and Another ball appears on the bottom. Then it goes back to the normal camera angle it started off with the balls moving, and 2 more balls are on the left and right which then all form a line as they speed through a sparkly neon city. It then goes to a black background and all 6 balls form into one big ball which turns out to be the silver ball with neon lines inside it, then the word "NiCKELODEON" spinning to it.

FX/SFX: A combination of hand-drawn animation and Scanimate effects (mostly the latter). Pretty good for the early 1980s.

Music/Sounds: A very funky tune with a male singer and female back singers, and this was the main theme to the channel itself. The lyrics are widely in debate, but go something like this: "Come along (Come along) we can find, a world of magic (Come along, come along) come along, we can make, the world your friend! Silver baaaalllll in the air, See it glllllooooow everywhere! Nickelodeonroundroundandroundherewego! Nickelooodeon!"

Availability:
When Nickelodeon changed their ID to the "splat" design, it became extinct very fast. It was mainly used as a sign-off ident.

Editor's Note: It is a well remembered logo from the early era of Nickelodeon.

(1981-1985)

ID: We see a silver coin on a live action pavement as a bike passes by. Then a human hand picks up the silver coin and flicks it which turns into the usual silver ball and sky background. The silver ball opens up to reveal a fish bowl, which then opens up to reveal a mirrored ball with a fiddler juggling, and this continues to form our planet earth, footage of a motorway, footage of sky, a snow globe and then the Silver Ball again, which flashes as usual with the neon lines inside and the word"NiCKELODEON" spinning to it.

FX/SFX: Mainly live action footage

Music/Sounds: A different version of the channel's main theme at the time. The lyrics are also different, going "Look around, we can find; a world of magic! Look around, we can make; the world your friend! Silver baaaalllll in the air, See it glllllooooow everywhere! Nickelodeonroundroundandroundherewego! Nickelooodeon!"

Then, a road appears and then a Nickelodeon arrow sign. We cut to a road with men racing in hot dog-shaped karts, each with a Nickelodeon bun, then to a futuristic city with a Nickelodeon rocket-ship passing by. Then, various people with different types of clothes and accessories, as well as a Nickelodeon heart beating once, a robot with human ears, an early Nickelodeon haystack ID, and a gorilla wearing a tuxedo whose bow tie spins once.

Finally, we cut to the same Nickelodeon television with the same objects emitted. There is also a couple in space-like attire as well as a robotic dog watching it, then the Nickelodeon ID jumps out of the TV and fills the entire screen and landing as a polygon with spikes on a blue background.

Variant: In 1987, the whole animation was changed to a completely new animation featuring a blue DJ with TV lollipops & animals.

<iframe frameborder="0" height="183" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/5e79ef2f4016f74f395708f6980879c07b147d2c" width="323"></iframe><iframe align="bottom" frameborder="0" height="181" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/f8729f208ea7463b2ebe086830a57937fb65492e" width="316"></iframe>

ID: On a curtain background with a towel below, we see a fruit cup reading Nickelodeon. Suddenly, a pineapple, banana, and an orange pop up singing the same thing from the Orange You Glad ID. They dance backwards and the curtain opens up to reveal a gradient background with palm trees that are reading Nickelodeon. The fruits fall off miserably at the end leaving us with a splat. Then, the splat that the fruits made appears along with the fruits themselves now splatted up smiling and the splat entirely reads Nickelodeon in between.

Variant: A variant exists where it is on a flipbook expect that there is no colors draw onto it expect for the orange on the stuff that have the Nickelodeon logo on it. This was possibly when the ID was unfinished when this was filmed.

ID: We see a pair of hands holding a clapboard and clapping it, saying "Quiet please". Then a cat that looks like Cat from CatDog runs into a blue room and crashes into a camera as we hear a guy saying "NEXT!" He then turns to the left of the room, where there's a desk that a hand wearing a striped shirt is behind, writing on a sheet of paper. He asks, "Name?" The cat says "Mack!" The guy says, "What've you got?" Mack replies, "Whatever you want! Need a new host for Double Dare?" He pulls his nose and changes his face into that of Marc Summers'. The guy says "no". Mack extends the nose and puts his hand down the nostril. He says "Ha ha! I can be an obstacle, too!" He changes back to his normal self as the guy says "We've already got that." Mack says "You got this?" He pulls down a film projector and we go into a black and white scene of a boy petting Mack, in color, who looks like a dog. Mack sings "Lassie!" and scratches the boy. Mack pulls up the projector, back in the room, and the guy says "disgusting!" "Oh, you want disgusting?" Mack asks. "I'll show you disgusting!" He expands like a balloon and explodes, leaving the camera covered with orange clay. The hand wipes away to reveal his face, a Koopa-like character wearing glasses, and says "I like it!" He licks the clay as the scene cuts to show the Nickelodeon splat logo on the wall, and a voiceover says "Nickelodeon: working hard to find what you want."

FX/SFX: The claymation.

Music/Sounds: The dialogue and sound effects.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Many people will find this a pretty humorous ID.



The Only Network for Kids
(1988)

ID: Against a white background, a guy who resembles a middle-age version of Bill Nye the Science Guy is shown, as a kid offscreen says "Hey! What're you doing here? You must really like Dennis the Menace, huh?" At this point, we cut to see the guy in greyscale looking like Dennis the Menace. The guy shakes his head. "How about Lassie?" the kid asks, and we see the guy (in color) wearing a fake dog nose and ears. "You like Lassie?" The guy shakes his head again. "Well, you must be a real fan of Mr. Wizard," the kid says, at which the guy is against a black background, wearing safety goggles, with one of those energy ball things. He touches it and receives a static electric shock which messes up his hair. He shakes his head once again. Then we see him against the white background again, wearing Double Dare contestant getup. "Uh, how about Double Dare?" the kid asks. The guy lifts up a baseball mitt only to get an egg thrown at him, and shakes his head. "Looney Tunes?" the kid asks as the guy has an ACME-branded bomb next to him, which explodes and leaves him charred. He shakes his head, and the kid asks "You Can't Do That on Television?" as the guy raises his hands and gets slimed. "Well you're in the wrong place, Pops," the kid says, "because this is Nickelodeon." A Nickelodeon arrow pushes the guy out of the way. "The only network for kids," says the kid as the words appear below the arrow.

ID: We see the Nickelodeon splat logo pulsating against a purple background. It cuts to dark images of Nick series and stars. Then we see a Nickelodeon oval, and the image blurs. We see more footage. Then we see the Nick splat again, and it stops pulsating. A red-colored circle that reads "is kids" appears below the logo.

FX/SFX: The pinching/punching and rippling effect of the Nickelodeon logo and fading in and out of the footage.

Variant: A variant exists with the footage of the kids replaced with black and white footage of Nicktoons.

Music/Sounds: Almost throughout the entire ID, we hear a heartbeat. We also hear an idea/lightbulb sound effect but sounding a bit stuttering. We then hear a man saying "Nick is" and then ambience and little swooshing noises can be heard and then we hear the man again saying the same line and then we hear what sounds like ambiance noise of a door closing several times until a small bang is heard which abruptly stops the heartbeat and then we hear the man saying "kids".

Egg and Spoon
(1990-2003)

Nicknames: "Splaat's CGI Egg Cousin"
<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="207" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/ad101ef7c2c141c47734070130609726ab768a1c" width="326"></iframe>
ID: 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 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 us, then turns towards the screen as he swallows the screen and as we see the Nickelodeon logo imprinted on his uvula (the hanging ball in the back of your throat), he makes the low pitched noise again.

FX/SFX
: Early CGI animation. This was done by Edward Bakst.

Music/Sounds: A weird brass theme 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 chuckling when he starts to swallow the screen) and squawking from the chicken spoon are also heard.

Availability: Extinct. It can be found at the ViacomCBS Archives at One Astor Plaza in New York. It was recently shown on NickRewindon TeenNick.

Editor's Note: Some may have been scared of the egg monster in this bumper but it’s a memorable one from Nickelodeon’s classic era.

Nick is Everyday
(1990-1996)

ID: On a white background, the words "EVERY DAY" appear and fade out as dancing silhouettes drop down. They disappear as a Nickelodeon sun fades into the center of the screen while it flashes. "MON" to "SUN" appear one by one with an animation corresponding to it. After each animation, the screen fades out and in to the next one. Then the words "NICK", "IS", "EVERY DAY" on purple, green, and blue backgrounds flash by. The Nickelodeon splat logo zooms in. We fade to black and see a green stick figure falling from the top of the screen saying "Nick is every day!"

FX/SFX: Cut-out animation.

Music/Sounds: Minimal (that is, low and synthesized) jazz music and the guy saying "Nick is every day!" at the end (Marc Summers from Double Dare.)

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Song Montage
(1993-1999)

Nickname: "It's Nickelodeon Month!"

ID: Against a background reading "Nickelodeon", the three guys from the Easy Groove bumper sing "Nick-nick-nick-nick-na-nick-nick-nick!" next to the parrot from the Dog & Parrot bumper and its Nickelodeon speech bubble. The kid on the Flying TV Monster flies into the screen, revealing the Fruits, the Nicktoons Blob, the Doo-Wop Dinos, and a cowboy with a Nick hat riding a horse all walking by. The tuxedo Frog and an insect type creature wearing a mask and holding 3 tv tubes on sticks stop to dance. A TV set comes into frame as we see the three guys singing again, this time with a purple pterodactyl flying past them. A lizard on a skateboard wearing a shirt strikingly similar to Rocko the wallaby's (but with bones instead of triangles) skates in opposite direction and in the very back of the screen as another lizard with black hair and a tux walks past. Three frogs and a Nick frog appear consecutively as the tux lizard chases them. Then we cut to the Anteater eating in front of a live action street background. The Nicktoons Blob, the Fruits, the fish, and the Doo-Wop Dinos all walk to the left as the background changes to the stop motion dinosaur in front of a TV in space with a Nickelodeon planet on it. Then we see a waiter opening up a dish to show a male Viking with weapons in his hands and screaming with a Nickelodeon banner. The dish is closed with a Nickelodeon shaped anvil. It turns into a Nick teacup that the CGI head from the Nick Brew ID drinks against a cartoon street background. The Nicktoons Blob walks by, and two dogs in blue and green Nick cars bump into each other. We see the three guys again, with the Fruits, the Doo-Wop Dinos, and the cowboy on his horse walk to the right, and the Nickelodeon splat logo above them. The tuxedo Frog again dances as the three guys sing "Nick-nick-nick-nick-na-nick-nick-nick! Nickelodeon!" Then the bumper ends in the style of an old TV turning off.

Trivia: During the Nostalgia Critic's "Nickelodeon Month" of January 2009, this bumper was used as the intro, but with the Nostalgia Critic inserted into it.

Variant: At the end of Nickelodeon VHS tapes or music videos, the end of the bumper only played.

FX/SFX: A mix of 2D animation, stop motion animation, and CGI.

Music/Sounds: The three guys singing, a remix of the Nick jingle, some sitar music, and the guys singing again, as well as sound effects as to what happens in the bumper.

Availability: Rare. It was on most Nickelodeon VHS tapes of the time by Sony Wonder, including Rocko's Modern Life: Machine Madness, Rugrats: Tales from the Crib, Ren & Stimpy: The Classics, Doug: How Did I Get into This Mess, and others. It played right before the show started. The short version played at the end of the tape. The Paramount re-releases of these tapes lack this bumper. On the channel itself, it would show right before a music video. It will probably appear on TeenNick's NickRewindsoon enough.

Editor's Note: It's a well-known logo from 90's Nick, and what most people think of when they think of that era.

Nickelodeon Characters
(1991-2007)

ID: There are many.

Variants:
  • Rugrats #1: We see a giant eye watching a Nickelodeon caterpillar. The camera zooms out to reveal it's Chuckie Finster, and he scrambles to get the caterpillar off him until it turns into a Nickelodeon butterfly.
  • Rugrats #2: Angelica Pickles sings into a microphone. The white background shatters to reveal an orange one with the Nickelodeon logo, and Angelica walks away.
  • Rugrats #3: Reptar stomps onscreen and roars. Then he hears another dinosaur and gets scared, and we see it's a Nickelodeon dinosaur.
  • Rugrats #4: Tommy and Dil Pickles are having a fight over the Nick logo and tug at it until they both let go of it and it turns into the splat logo.
  • Ren & Stimpy: Ren is in a Nickelodeon bathtub and hears something making bubbles. He lifts his leg and Stimpy jumps out of the tub.
  • Doug: Doug Funnie and Porkchop are carrying a Nickelodeon rectangle. Doug drops the rectangle on his foot and Porkchop runs over.
  • Hey Arnold: Helga Pataki passes a Nickelodeon ball to the other kids, ending with Arnold Shortman, who hits it with a baseball bat sending it crashing into the screen.
  • Angry Beavers: Norb and Dag rip off their undergarments until Dag rips his underwear off. He uses a Nickelodeon towel to cover up him and Norb.
  • CatDog: They chase after a garbage truck and Dog eats all the garbage, leaving them deformed. Cat vomits which forms the Nickelodeon logo.
  • SpongeBob: He tries to blow a Nickelodeon bubble, but fails. So he swallows the bubble and spits it out through his pores. This results in a giant Nickelodeon bubble.
  • Fairly OddParents: Cosmo and Wanda are in black and white, and they change themselves to color. They then notice they're standing behind a black and white Nickelodeon heart, and they change that to color too.
  • As Told by Ginger: Ginger Foutley, Dodie, and Macie are dancing until Courtney Gripling and Miranda Killgalen show up. Suddenly, orange splat water balloons are thrown by Carl and Hoodsey, forming the Nickelodeon logo, leading everyone to leave the scene except Ginger, who chases after Carl and Hoodsey.
  • The Wild Thornberrys: Eliza Thornberry and Darwin are running from a Nick rhino, which Donnie is riding the tail of.
  • Rocket Power: Reggie Rocket is roller-skating, Otto's on a bike, and Twister and Sam are skateboarding. They all join together and crash into a wall, leaving an orange imprint of themselves with the Nick logo on it.
  • Pelswick: Pelswick rides his wheelchair over orange hills, which turns out to be the Nickelodeon splat logo.
  • Jimmy Neutron: The Rugrats #3 bumper, but the Nickelodeon dinosaur's top opens up to reveal Jimmy Neutron and Goddard piloting it.
  • Jimmy Neutron #2: The Wild Thornberrys bumper, but the rhino is instead a rocket piloted by Jimmy and Goddard, leaving a trail of orange smoke with the Nick logo on it.
FX/SFX: The animation, provided by the same studio that animates the Nicktoons.

Music/Sounds: Depends. It's usually the theme song of the show, culminating in the familiar Nick jingle, as well as sound effects that correspond to what happens in the bumper. However, the Fairly OddParents bumper does not use the Nick jingle.

Availability: Extinct, as these shows don't air on Nick anymore. However, the first Rugrats bumper was shown on NickRewindduring a break in July 2017, and the Angry Beavers bumper was shown on NickRewind’sTwitter account during Throwback Thursday. The SpongeBob bumper, according to RetroJunk, aired well into 2007. It's unknown if this is the same case with the Fairly OddParents bumper. The Jimmy Neutron bumpers were only used in 2001 to promote the film.

<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="207" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/dd8f5325555207a49a8bf8f1fb465cb6dc8ede8b" width="326"></iframe>
ID: In a very psychedelic, pop art-inspired "room", we see to the right two picture frames with two fists made to look like faces (wearing a hat, some googly eyes, and painted-on "lips") and to the left a picture frame with the Nick logo in it. 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.

Variant: At one point, this was used as a sign-off bumper for Nickelodeon. After the face says "Nickelodeon" the second time, it cuts to color bars.

FX/SFX: A very creative combination of chroma-key effects, pixillation, and puppetry, with the Pinchface moved by threads (this is more visible on higher-quality uploads of this ident). This was done by Blue Brick Design.

Music/Sounds: A funky-sounding Balkan brass rendition of the Nickelodeon theme. The Pinchface is voiced by veteran voice actor Tom Kenny.

Availability: Extinct. 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.

One plays a guitar and another sticks out of a can with a night cap on as they all sing the Nickelodeon theme while some ants hiccup. A quarter of the presented food have Nick or Nickelodeon in them. At the end, it zooms out so that we can read the word "Nickelodeon" on the picnic blanket.

(1992-2003)

Nicknames: "Elvis", "Come On Now"

ID: On a black background, we see a Nickelodeon logo, which folds into a white screen covered in little dancing people slides in over, which is constantly shaking. After a moment, the screen transitions into a close up of four of the aforementioned people, whose heads are different shapes. (A nickel, a sack or load, an "E", and a light bulb that turns on.

Nicktoons Blob

  • When this appeared on Nick Rewind in 2006, the last few seconds of the ID were replaced by a 2D Nickelodeon splat.
  • On some prints of the Oh Yeah! Cartoons Fairly Odd Parents short "Where's the Wand", the ID starts out normal, but it goes to the the guy transformation. The executive producers' credit (which reads "Executive Producers: Fred Seibert, Larry Huber") appears, then the title card for the short appears.
  • When The 90s Are All That became The Splat, the logo made a huge comeback as becoming a bumper. Every time between the logo transforming, the Nicktoons logo is replaced by The Splat logo, which is on a pink background with patterns everywhere.
