Nick Jr (Cats)

1996-2007

Logos[]

1st logo (1993-2000)[]

On a white background, we see an orange dad with "NICK" on his body and a blue child with "JR" on his body, making a "throwing" motion, like they are playing catch. The orange person throws underhand and the blue person 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.

Variant (FANMADE): At the end, we see a pink dad and a yellow child with eyes, then the orange dad and his blue child open their eyes, and screams, running away, then the pink dad and his yellow child take their place, and then closes their eyes and the words "NICK JR" pop up on their bodies, scrambled.

2nd logo (1996-2004)[]

On a black background, we see a picture of the Nick Jr. logo (it varies in shape, like Nickelodeon's). The parent has "NICK" on it's body when his/her child has "JR" on it's body. It fades out after 3-4 seconds. The copyright stamp in the logo reads "© [YEAR] VIACOM International, INC.", or sometimes not at all.

  • Cats
  • Dogs
  • Elephants
  • Pigs
  • Giraffes

3rd logo (1999-2005)[]

On a yellow "swirly" background, we see an orange dad and a blue child, both with "NICK" and "JR" on their bodies. The two people bounce around as the word "Productions", in a childish multicolored font with a little red heart on the letter "I", forms. The two people are both hugging together after the logo completely forms (closely resembling a variant from the previous logo).

Variant (FANMADE): When the child was about to hug his dad, he holds him, and then throws him in the ground, then dabs.

4th logo (2001-2012)[]

Essentially the same as the 1st logo, but it is still, and in-credit.

5th logo (2004)[]

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 gets surprised, and laughs with the blue frog as the words "NICK JR" appear on the frogs, Then the word "PRODUCTIONS" comes in sparkling.

Variant: The background adds 3 lily pads, the word "PRODUCTIONS" is removed, and now we see the orange frog ribbiting 3 times, and then the blue frog ribbits loud, then the words "NICK JR" appear on the frogs, then the logos moves to the bottom right.

6th logo (2005-2009)[]

On a light blue/green gradient background, we see an orange dad and a blue child, both playing on a puddle. Then, after they jump around and splash in the puddle, the words "NICK JR" can be seen on both bodies like the 1st logo, while the word "productions" appears below. The dad and child are hugging together again after the company's name appears.

7th logo (2011-2015)[]

Same as the 4th logo, but the new Nick Jr. logo is used.

8th logo (2015-)[]

On a white background, with green hills, we see orange stripes with a blue curve around it. A yellow road is below. Suddenly, Bubble Puppy from Bubble Guppies pokes up at us. It zooms out to reveal a multi-colored doorway. Molly then swims with three orange fish behind her. She giggles and then swims away. Nonny shows up clapping his hands, and we zoom out again. Oona pops up and claps as well. Dora and Boots are shown dancing around with each other. Then, Team Umizoomi (Milli, Geo and Bot) is shown dancing as well. We pan to the left to see trees and the words "nickjr." in 3D, with German text that says Spaß macht schlau (which means Fun is Smart in English) Mr. Grouper appears on the right corner of the screen.

Music/Sounds[]

[]

Usually the end theme of the show plays over, but sometimes it had it's own music: a synthesized piano jingle whose notes corresponded to the movements (the ending of which being similar to the Touchstone Television logo).

Variant: Some walking sound effects, a duck sound, some screaming, and same audio, but in low pitch on the parts when the pink dad and the yellow child arrive, when the original logo opens their eyes, when the orange dad and the blue child scream and run away, when the pink dad and the yellow child take their spot, and when they close their eyes and the words "NICK JR" pop up in their bodies scrambled.

[]

None, or the end theme of Blue's Clues, which concludes with a bass pluck and a small squeak. However, on What is Blue Afraid Of?, the General Series 6000 "CAT - DOMESTIC: SINGLE MEOW, ANIMAL 01" sound effect can be heard followed by the bass pluck. On Portuguese and 2003 UK airings, it uses the 3rd logo's music.

However, on Blue's News and The Lost Episode, The Elephant sound effect can be heard followed by the bass pluck.

However, on Pretend Time, What Does Blue Want to Build? and What Did Blue See?, Animal's Bird sound effect can be heard followed by the bass pluck.

[]

A tuba version of the Nick Jr. "Just for me!" theme accompanied by kids laughing and a Hanna-Barbera "BOING!" sound when they jump.

Variant: Some glass breaking sound effect and some Japanese talking.

[]

The ending theme of the show, or in other cases, none.

[]

A strange fantasy tune, with sounds of the frogs catching a fly, the frogs giggling and a sweet 5 note jingle at the end.

Fun fact: This logo was never used in shows or on TV, there was a rumor that the logo was planned to be used in the world premiere of Dora's Pirate Adventure.

Variant: Croaking.

[]

A nice piece of music played by a violin and an oboe accompanied by kids laughing or on some occasions, a xylophone remix of the old Nick Jr.'s "Just for me!" jingle. However, on The Backyardigans and Behind the Clues: 10 Years with Blue, the ending theme plays over it.

[]

The ending theme of the show.

[]

An upbeat tune.

Scare Factor[]

1st logo[]

None. It's a well-liked logo of many, especially those who remember watching Nick Jr. in the '90s in their childhood.

Variant: Low to medium. The screaming sound of the Nick Jr. logo characters can catch a couple of viewers off-guard.

2nd logo[]

None to low. However, the meow on the Halloween episode of Blue's Clues can get to some and the 1999 music on Portuguese and 2003 UK prints may catch you off-guard.

3rd logo[]

None. It's another favorite of many, albeit slightly annoying to others.

Variant: None to low. The glass breaking sound can scare some viewers, but it's harmless.

4th logo[]

None.

5th logo[]

None.

Variant: None to minimal. The sound of the frogs croaking could surprise some viewers, but it's harmless. And the music that plays in the end with the glow sound may surprise some viewers.

Lucioelpibe5678: Medium to High. This logo according to him can be a little scary because of the music at the end.

6th logo[]

None. It's a friendly and playful logo, albeit slightly annoying to others.

PaxtonGirtman’s: High to Nightmare, The end of the logo makes him scream in agony.

7th logo[]

None.

8th logo[]

None or even below the scale. Children should not be scared of this, and it's too happy to be scary.
