Giving this page a much needed overhaul including reorganizing certain things, removing page bloat and fixing inaccurate information. I attempted to perform a similar overhaul on this page on the Wikifoundry site, but was reverted by former admin CooleyBoy10. Anyway, with him mostly gone, and with several other pages being given similar overhauls, I wanted to do the same here. Feel free to revert if not allowed. :)

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|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. 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.

'''Visuals:''' On a sunny day, we see the side view of the studio, with the slime geyser, like the previous logo, but as we fade into the front, the camera slowly zooms out until it's showing the Universal globe.
 
'''Variants:'''
 
*On few occasions, the side view before the globe shot was cut short. On some occasions, the side view shot was cut entirely.
*Another variant has 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 one episode of ''Hi Honey, I'm Home!''.

'''Visuals:''' Same as the previous logo, but it's live action instead. Most of the time, the Universal globe is bigger and Nickelodeon Studios is further away from it; it is possible that this happened as a result of the Nickelodeon facade being taped at a different angle.
'''Visuals:''' On a sunny day, zoom to the studio sign on top center of the building before cutting to the scene with Nickelodeon Studios and the Universal globe.
 
'''Variants:'''


'''Variants:'''
*Alternatively, we see the side view of the studio, with the slime geyser, like the previous logo, but as we fade into the front, the camera slowly zooms out until it's showing the globe. This is one of two variants that was shot on a sunny day. This can be seen on ''Clarissa Explains It All'', ''Get The Picture'', ''Eureeka's Castle'', ''Hi Honey, I'm Home!'' and ''Welcome Freshman''.
**On the aforementioned ''Get The Picture'', the side view before the globe shot was cut short.
**Season 1 of the aforementioned ''Clarissa Explains It All'' would do the same thing, but only the globe shot is shown (after the [[Thunder Pictures]] logo and then fading to white).
*On ''Make the Grade'', ''Family Double Dare'' and ''Outta Here!'', the first shot zooms down to reveal the studio's facade, before the 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 building and the Universal Globe, which is closer to the camera than normal. The sky in the background is also overcast, and three people can be seen walking by in the distance. The logo freeze frames at the end.
*Another variant has 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 one episode of ''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 Freshmen'', ''Nickelodeon's All Star Challenge'' and ''Legends of the Hidden Temple'' in which we zoom to the studio sign on top of the center production building before cutting to the scene with Nickelodeon Studios and the Universal globe. This time, the sky is a lot brighter and is blue just like the first variant, but 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 globe shot.
*''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 globe shot.
**On both of the aforementioned shows (the latter in its first season), a copyright notice is also seen.
*One version seen on ''What Would You Do?'' had a shot of the lawn in front of the Nickelodeon Studios, as lots of kids began running toward it, before it fades to the globe shot.
**One version was just this with a small copyright stamp in the corner (also used in a few Universal Studios Florida commercials from the 1990s); and one version was this footage followed by the cloudy version, seen on some season 1 episodes of ''Eureeka's Castle''.
*Another variant had the globe zoomed out more but also had three people in the distance and a dark overcast sky, seen on a YouTube video called ''Where Nick Was Made'' on NickSplat's YouTube channel. Unknown if it appeared on any shows.
*The opening to ''Global GUTS'' featured an overhead shot of the studio's facade.


'''Technique:''' Live-action footage.
*One version seen on ''What Would You Do?'' and the pilot episode of ''All That'' had a shot of the lawn in front of the Nickelodeon Studios, as lots of kids began running toward it, before it fades to the globe shot.


'''Audio:''' Same as the previous logo.

*'''Think Fast, Family Double Dare, Get the Picture, Hi Honey, I'm Home!, What Would You Do?, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Nickelodeon's All-Star Challenge, All That, Welcome Freshman, Fifteen, Nick Arcade, Roundhouse:''' Various voiceovers.
*'''Kenan & Kel:''' Kenan Thompson.
*'''My Brother and Me:''' Various child stars.
*'''Allegra's Window:'''  The characters' voices.
*'''Christmas at Eureeka's Castle:''' Cheryl Blaylock (Eureeka's puppeteer).


'''Audio Variants:'''
'''Availability:'''  
*On ''Weinerville'', a "Woo!" can be heard near the end.
*On some episodes of ''Make the Grade'', announcer Maria Milito (after she says the first part of the monologue, replacing "produced" with "taped") says "[...] at Nickelodeon Studios. Located at... Universal Studios Orlando, Florida".
**This is likely that the voiceover ends after the final second of the freeze-frame version. It cuts to black after a second of the voiceover.
*On ''Allegra's Window'', the music and child giggling from the [[Nick Jr. Productions]] logo can be heard as a voiceover says the ending monologue.
**After they say the monologue on the VHS tape ''Allegra's Window: Small Is Beautiful'', Woofer says "Thanks, Tweeter!" followed by Tweeter replying "No problem!".
*Before the [[Frederator Studios|Chauncey Street Productions, Inc.]] logo appears on some shows, there is no voiceover.
**On at least one episode of the aforementioned ''Allegra's Window'', there is no voiceover.
*On the ''Eureeka's Castle'' Halloween special and sometimes on ''Legends of the Hidden Temple'', there is no music.
**On some season 1 episodes of the aforementioned ''Eureeka's Castle'', the sounds of kids cheering are heard in the first six seconds (the final three under the voiceover).


'''Availability:''' Same as the previous logo. This logo appeared on some shows prior to 1995 (such as ''Get the Picture'') but it didn't become the main logo until 1995.
*The first variant was seen on ''My Brother & Me'', ''Allegra's Window'', ''Welcome Freshmen'', ''Nickelodeon's All Star Challenge'' and ''Legends of the Hidden Temple''.

*The second variant was seen on the first two seasons of ''All That'' and the first season of ''Kenan & Kel''.
*The running version was seen on ''Real Mature'', a Nickelodeon-produced sketch show that aired as a special on ABC in 1991. Also seen on ''What Would You Do?'' and the pilot episode of ''All That'' (the running footage was also seen in some Nickelodeon promos of the time). It also appeared on some season 1 episodes of ''Eureeka's Castle''.
* Starting in 1997, all shows taped at Nickelodeon Studios use the previous logo instead.{{TV-Navbox}}{{Navbox-Paramount}}{{Animation-Navbox}}
*It made its Nick Jr.-produced debut appearance on Eureeka's Castle and made its Nick Jr.-produced second and latest appearance on season 1 of ''Allegra's Window'' (seasons 2 and 3 cut this to black after the [[Nick Jr. Productions]] logo).
*This logo might've made its final appearance on the second season of ''Kenan & Kel''.
