Nickelodeon Animation Studios (also known as "Nicktoons Productions"), the animation unit of Nickelodeon, was established from [[Games Animation]] in 1990 to produce animated TV shows known as Nicktoons for Nickelodeon and Nicktoons Network. In 2016, the studio was simply renamed to "Nickelodeon Studios" (not to be confused with the old [[Nickelodeon Studios]] from 1990 to 2005) due to the animation staff moving to a new studio complex that houses both animated and live-action productions.

* There is an animated version of the Nickelodeon logo which is seen on the trailer for ''Harriet the Spy'' and on ''Yakkity Yak''. A CGI ball appears on a black background and then forms a "'''''NICKELODEON'''''" splat, which resembles the Nicktoons version but with smaller text. The long version was only seen on the "Fat Files" shorts. On the latter, a copyright for Nickelodeon Australia scuttles in below in orange.
* On some split-screen credits airings of ''Invader Zim'', the copyright doesn't appear for a few seconds.

'''FX/SFX:''' Usually, it's a still logo. For the animated version, it's the ball bouncing and the splat forming.
'''FX/SFX:''' None.


'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the show or a soundbite of the show. Sometimes, none.

* On ''The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius'', we hear the theme song's opening riff and Jimmy saying "Gotta blast!".

* Usually for the split-screen credits, it's the same as the original credits (including Jimmy saying "Gotta blast!"). In the case of ''Invader Zim'', however, two variants were used. One was the synth drone and electricity sparking from the start of the episode "The Nightmare Begins" (which was the most common), and the other was a modified version of Zim laughing at the end of the opening theme.

'''Availability:''' Was very common in its own time, but it's now rare, as Nickelodeon is deleting pre-2009 logos on television, and is replacing them with the 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo. However, some prints keep this logo intact.

*First seen on the trailer for ''Harriet the Spy''. The "Nicktoons" variant appeared on every new Nicktoon starting with ''The Angry Beavers'', and was also used on ''CatDog'', ''ChalkZone'', and recent prints of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' episodes from the era, plastering the "Scribble", among others, excluding all Klasky-Csupo/Nick shows, up until ''Tak and the Power of Juju''.

*But, the 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo usually plasters over this on reruns in an very annoying manner. Even The Splat on TeenNick is updating this logo and the 1st one with the same logo during split-screen credits (''Angry Beavers'' is one show that still retains this logo because there is no split screen credits at the end). So, your best option is Nick On Demand.

Even NickRewind on TeenNick is replacing this logo and the first one with the same logo during split-screen credits (''Angry Beavers'' is one show that still retains this logo because there is no split screen credits at the end).
*''Hey Arnold'' has this logo plastered by the one of the 2017 Nickelodeon Productions logos on NickSplat, but On Demand prints retain it (season 1 episodes have the 1st logo). ''CatDog'' and ''Angry Beavers'' also retain this On Demand.
*''Hey Arnold'' has this logo plastered by the one of the 2017 Nickelodeon Productions logos on NickRewind, but VOD prints retain it (season 1 episodes have the first logo); it's the same for ''CatDog'' and ''Angry Beavers''.
*The "Nickelodeon" variant is seen on ''Jimmy Neutron'', ''Catscratch'', non-US airings of early ''El Tigre'' episodes, early episodes of ''Random Cartoons!'', 2007 episodes of ''SpongeBob SquarePants, My Life as a Teenage Robot,'' and the final season of ''Chalkzone''. It's also superimposed over the closing credits of ''Avatar: The Last Airbender''. The main logo still appears on new episodes of shows that debuted prior to 2007, such as ''SpongeBob SquarePants,'' up until 2008.

*At the time from 2001-2006, this logo was seen on certain Nicktoons after split-screen credits on [[Nickelodeon]] replacing "The Weird Object". This includes ''Jimmy Neutron'', the [[Frederator Studios|Frederator]]-produced Nicktoons (''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'', ''The Fairly OddParents'' [the latter alternated with "The Weird Object"], ''ChalkZone'', and ''My Life as a Teenage Robot''), ''Danny Phantom,'' and ''Invader Zim'', which kept their respective logos while all of the other Nicktoons used the regular Nickelodeon logo.

*Along with "The Weird Object", this has been extinct on television since 2006 and can only be found on VHS recordings or encodes online. Also seen on the ''Jimmy Neutron'' pilot from 1998 and the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' pilot from 1997.

*The last cartoon to premiere with this logo was ''El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera'', while the last to use it was on the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' episode ''Goo Goo Gas''. It could also be seen on the three super-deformed shorts of ''Avatar: The Last Airbender '', which are preserved on the season 2 DVD release.

'''Editor's Note:''' If this logo has been shown after Nickelodeon USA's split-screen credits, sometimes the name of the show in the copyright notice is very horribly shortened down (e.g, ''My Life as a Teenage Robot'' becomes ''Teen Age Robot'', and ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'' becomes ''Oh Yeah!'').
