'''Availability:''' | '''Availability:''' This logo was very common in its own time, but it's now becoming rarer, as Nickelodeon is deleting all of the pre-2009 logos on television, and is replacing them with the 2009 and 2017 Nickelodeon Productions logos.

*The "Nicktoons" variant is preserved on digital releases of every non-[[Klasky-Csupo]] Nicktoon from ''Hey Arnold!'' (starting with Season 2) to ''Danny Phantom''. It was also seen on ''The X's'', which has never seen a rerelease, and hasn't been reran since 2015. However, DVDs and VHS releases of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' and ''The Fairly OddParents'' often use the NAS haypile instead. | *The "Nicktoons" variant is preserved on digital releases of every non-[[Klasky-Csupo]] Nicktoon from ''Hey Arnold!''
