The 2nd logo seems more like a logo for Nickelodeon Productions. Also the Legacy sounds more Trivia-worthy to me. Revert if needed.

'''Logo:''' We see the Nickelodeon splat logo with "'''''NICKTOONS'''''" replacing "'''''NICKELODEON'''''" on a black background (although sometimes it reads "'''''NICKELODEON'''''" and is stretched out more). Copyright information is seen below, or sometimes not at all.

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

*The last cartoon to premiere with this logo was ''El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera'', and the last episode to use it was on the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' episode "Goo Goo Gas/Le Big Switch". 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.

===2nd Logo (1999-2006?)===

'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see an {{color|orange}} ball of slime bouncing on a trampoline (which has a {{color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} pad, {{color|gray}} supports, and {{color|orange}} rimming) 3 times, with each bounce producing 3 {{color|orange}} pulses as the camera shifts around it, briefly showing a {{color|deepskyblue|blue}} "sky". After the 3rd bounce, the blob flies towards the screen as the text "'''''NICKELODEON'''''" appears on it and it continues to wave, as the words "{{color|orange|'''A'''}}" and "{{color|orange|'''PRODUCTION'''}}" appear letter-by-letter in {{color|orange}}. In the lower right corner, 4 translucent {{color|orange}} rings pulse out as the blob stops waving, becomes 2D, and changes its shape before cutting to the show.
'''Variant:''' There is a variant seen on international airings of ''Rocket Power'', which only shows the Nickelodeon logo.
'''Technique:''' CGI animation of the ball and the trampoline.
'''Music/Sounds:''' Three bouncing sounds, followed by the first eight notes of the Nickelodeon theme being played on an off-key glockenspiel.
'''Availability:''' Rare; can be seen on Latin American prints of Nickelodeon shows, such as episodes of ''Pistas de Blue'' (the Latin American Spanish dub of ''Blue's Clues'') on Nick on Demand En Español. In Brazil, it is seen some season 3 episodes of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', the first season of ''Dora The Explorer'', and some episodes of ''Blue's Clues'', ''As Told By Ginger,'' ''The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius'', and ''Rocket Power''.
