'''Logo:'''  We see a model of the Earth zoom into the screen, and it remains in place as this logo's background, spinning throughout. We see different children from around the world saying the phrase "One world, one Nickelodeon" in their native language. Throughout the logo, they interact with a spinning orange sphere with the Nickelodeon wordmark on it, resembling a globe. In order, a Zulu girl puts the orange sphere in place, an Arab boy runs by and pushes the sphere to the center, an English boy (who is upside-down) tosses the sphere off-screen, a Finnish girl catches the sphere with her fingers, a Mexican boy bounces on the sphere like a trampoline, an Indian boy appears from behind the sphere, two Japanese girls lift up the sphere, and a Chinese girl holds the sphere and throws it. The sphere briefly engulfs the screen, then bounces back to the upper center of the screen.

*Both this logo and the 1995 Paramount Home Video logo make a surprise appearance on the 2013 Blu-ray release of ''It's a SpongeBob Christmas''. They play if either the first episode or "Play All" on the bonus episodes (which were the same ones used on the ''Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies'' DVD releases) are selected. This is due to them using the same video master as the original VHS releases. This is cut on the DVD version, as the correct master is used there.

===Final Note ===
Since the 2009 rebrand (with some exceptions), the 2009 [[Nickelodeon Productions]] logo (but without the word "Productions" and the copyright info) is used as a de-facto home video logo, despite that logo being replaced in 2017.
