Logos[]
1st logo (1990-2003): We see a realistic coloring, looking like it was done with a colored pencil, of the side view of the front of Nickelodeon Studios, including the slime fountain. Then it fades to the front of everything. You can even see the Universal Studios globe.
2nd logo (1990-2003): Same as the 2nd logo, but it's live action instead.
Variants[]
- In the first variant, we see the side view of the studio, with the slime geyser, like the 2nd logo, but then, as we fade into the front, the camera slowly zooms out until it's showing the Universal Studios globe. This is one of two variants that was shot on a sunny day. This can be found on Clarissa Explains It All, Get The Picture, Eureka's Castle, Hi Honey, I'm Home! and Welcome Freshman.
- On Make the Grade, Family Double Dare and Outta Here!, the first shot is zooming down to reveal the studio's facade, before the Universal Studios globe scene. This is one of many variants where the sky is overcast.
- On Make the Grade, a picture of Nickelodeon Studios from the left is shown, before the scene with the Nickelodeon Studios and the Universal Studios globe which is up closer to the camera than normal. The sky in the background is also overcast like the previous one. You can even see 3 people walking by in the distance. The logo freeze frames at the end.
- Another variant had the view of Nickelodeon Studios shot on another cloudy day. But this time, the clouds are darker which makes it look like it's about to rain. This was spotted in Hi Honey, I'm Home!.
- Sometimes a copyright notice is shown on the bottom.
- There was a variation on My Brother & Me, Allegra's Window, Welcome Freshman, Nickelodeon's All Star Challenge and Legends of the Hidden Temple in which we zoom to the studio sign on top of the core production building before cutting to the scene with Nickelodeon Studios and the Universal Studios globe landmark. This time the sky is a lot brighter and is blue just like the first variant. But this time, it looks like it was shot on a bright sunny day instead just like the original variant.
- All That and Kenan & Kel had a shot of the camera approaching the front of the studios on the ground (with the All That version showing a portion of the Slime Geyser), before fading into the Universal Studios globe shot.
- One version seen on What Would You Do? had a shot of the lawn in front of the Nick Studios, as lots of kids start running toward it, then fading into the Universal Studios globe scene. One version was just this with a small copyright stamp in the corner. This was also used in a few Universal Studios Florida commercials from the 1990's.
- Another variant had the Universal Studios globe zoomed out more but also had 3 people in the distance. And there are still rain clouds present. This can be found on a YouTube video called Where Nick Was Made on NickSplat's YouTube channel. It's unknown if it appeared on any shows.
- The opening to Global GUTS featured an overhead shot of the studio's facade.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo (1990-2003): An announcer saying "[TITLE OF SHOW] was/is recorded/produced in front of a live (studio) audience at (in) Nickelodeon Studios (in Orlando) at Universal Studios (in Orlando), Florida". On some shows like GUTS, the ending of the show's theme plays as well.
Music/Sounds Variants[]
- On a Russian airing of a Noah Knows Best episode, there was no announcer and end theme of the show was the only thing that could be heard.
- Also on another Russian airing of the same show, there's a Russian announcer saying the spiel in Russian.
2nd logo (1990-2003): Same as the 2nd logo.
Music/Sounds Variants[]
On Real Mature, a "Woo!" can be heard near the end.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo (1990-2003): None to minimal. This is a favorite of many who grew up watching Nickelodeon programming during the time.
2nd logo (1990-2003): Same as before.
