'''Nickelodeon Studios''' was a television studio in [[Universal Studios Florida]] that also served as an attraction in the park, allowing kids to attend tapings of [[Nickelodeon]]'s game shows. The first program taped there, ''Super Sloppy Double Dare'', was taped in Spring 1989, with the attraction fully opening on June 7, 1990. The attraction, while initially very popular, began to decline in the 2000s as Nick began slowly shifting their live-action output to closed-set sitcoms and moving filming to Nickelodeon on Sunset in Hollywood as well as of lack of talent in the Orlando area. The final show taped there, ''Nickelodeon SPLAT!'', finished taping on August 17, 2004, with the attraction permanently shutting down on April 30, 2005 and was replaced by Blue Man Group, but closed years later.

----------------------
'''Note:''' Every logo has a voiceover (usually a character or announcer from one of the shows) saying "[SHOW TITLE] was recorded/produced/shot/taped (in front of/before a live studio/live audience) at/in Nickelodeon Studios (in Orlando), (at) Universal Studios Florida/(in) Orlando, Florida" (it varies, although ''Nick Arcade'' replaces the word "was" with "is"), sometimes accompanied by the closing theme. Currently, one of the most common voiceovers is a generic one where Wendell Craig says "This show was produced in Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida."

'''Visuals:''' Over an overcast sky, the camera zooms down to reveal the Nickelodeon Studios facade. The shot then fades to a shot of the Universal Studios globe fountain, with the globe rotating counter clockwise. The Nickelodeon facade can be seen in the distance.

'''Trivia:''' This was filmed very early on in the studio's life, possibly even before Universal opened as the Slime Geyser is missing (it was installed between July and October 1990) and the orange and white queue tents are nowhere to be seen.

'''Audio:''' A voiceover (usually a character or announcer from one of the shows) saying "This show (or the title of the show) was recorded/produced/shot/taped (in front of/before a live studio/live audience) at/in Nickelodeon Studios (in Orlando) at Universal Studios Florida/in Orlando, Florida", which varies (''Nick Arcade'' replaces the word "was" with "is"). On some shows, the ending theme of the show plays over it.
'''Audio:''' The closing theme plays along with the voiceover line.
 
'''Audio Variant:''' On some shows, instead of a character, a generic recording is used with Wendell Craig saying "This show was produced in Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida." This is one of the most common versions of the logo.


'''Availability:''' Seen on 1990 episodes of ''Family Double Dare''. Also seen on early episodes of ''Outta Here!''. It also appeared on one season 3 episode of ''Make the Grade''.

'''Visuals:''' A ground-level view of Nickelodeon Studios’s main building, looking from the southeast is seen. In the foreground is the Slime Geyser, erupting with its signature slime. The camera fades to a shot of the Nickelodeon sign on the font of the building, which pulls back to reveal the metallic Universal globe like the previous logos.
'''Visuals:''' There are two versions of the logo:
 
*November 1990-1991: In this version, the weather is sunny.

**It starts with a ground-level view of Nickelodeon Studios’s main building, looking from the southeast, with the Slime Geyser (erupting with its signature slime) in the foreground. The camera fades to a shot of the Nickelodeon sign on the font of the building, which pulls back to reveal the metallic Universal globe from the previous logos.
*On few occasions, the shot of the Slime Geyser is cut short. On some occasions, the shot is cut entirely.  
***On a S1 episode of ''Welcome Freshmen'', only the shot of the Slime Geyser is seen.
*On an episode of ''Welcome Freshmen'', there is another short version with just the shot of the Slime Geyser.
***On later Season 1 episodes of ''Get the Picture'', the shot of the Slime Geyser is cut short.
*Another variant has the view of Nickelodeon Studios shot on an overcast day, like the first two logos. This time, the clouds are darker which makes it look like it's about to rain. Nickelodeon Studios is also further away from the globe and the globe is placed more in the center.
***On ''Clarissa Explains It All'', the logo transitions from the [[Thunder Pictures]] logo. Also, the shot of the Slime Geyser is cut entirely. A version without the transition was spotted on 2011-2015 broadcasts of seasons 2-5 of ''All That'' on TeenNick's The 90's Are All That block, plastering over the 1994 version of the 5th logo on season 2 and the 1994 and 1996 [[Nickelodeon Productions]] logos on seasons 2-5.
** There’s also an extended version which has a shot of kids running towards the Nickelodeon Studios building. This shot was also used in a few Universal Studios Florida commercials from 1993-94.
