'''Logo:''' Depending on the variant:

* '''Slime:''' On a black background, an orange slime 3D Nickelodeon logo (which looks more like a cloud) is seen. Copyright info is seen below or sometimes not at all.

* '''Shark:''' On a black background, an orange 3D shark swims across the screen. As it stops in the middle, we see the familiar "NICKELODEON" text on it, and copyright info fades in below.

'''Trivia:'''

* '''Slime:''' On the YouTube channel Smosh Games, an Honest Trailer (which is a parody) for ''Splatoon'' featured this logo, mentioned as an inspiration for the game.

* '''Saturn:''' This logo may be a nod to the T-shirt worn by ''Rugrats'' character Chuckie Finster, which has the planet Saturn on it, although this logo never appeared on any ''Rugrats'' episode, or VHS/DVD release of the show.

** There's an animated variant in which the slime is shown spinning while zooming up to the front of the screen.

** Another animated variant has the logo suddenly jerk a bit.

** There is an animated variant in which the bone spins to the center of the screen for a second, and then it stays still.
