Noggin Originals

Background
Noggin Originals was the original production arm of Noggin, a programming block that was shown on Nick Jr. from the late 1990s to 2009, when it was folded into Nick Jr. However, as of March 4, 2015, Noggin still exists today as an app distributing older shows from Nick Jr., Sesame Workshop, and shows for younger audiences from Nelvana.

1st Logo (April 1, 1999-October 1, 2002)
Nickname: "I've Got a Good Idea", "The Idea", "Head Bulb"

Logo: Same as the ID of the time: On a light blue spotlight/black gradient BG, we see a Noggin logo with nothing on top. The head shakes up and down and a drill pops up, The drilled forced up/ revealing it to be part of a lightbulb (the logo shuts its eye and grits its teeth once this happens). The lightbulb turns upside down, lights up (turning the BG yellow gradient,t spinning) as "ORIGINAL" pops in from the bottom of the lightbulb, and the head smiles. The letters as rearranged to be right-side up. The copyright/trademark info fades in.

FX/SFX: Flashmation.

Music/Sounds: A "screwing" sound as the lightbulb piece appears, and when the logo lights up, there is music that sounds "desert"-like, accompanied by various sound effects, which include the word "Noggin" being spoken in a somewhat nasal voice.

Availability: Extinct; appeared on A Walk in Your Shoes (1999-2002 episodes), Sponk!, and the first season of Play with Me Sesame (Not on Sprout airings, as it cut-out).

Scare Factor: None.

2nd Logo (2003-2007)
Logo: TBA.

FX/SFX: Flashmation.

Music/Sounds: The generic theme.

Availability: Was seen on later seasons of Play with Me Sesame. Current prints cut this logo out.

Scare Factor: None.

3rd Logo (October 1, 2002-September 11, 2005)
Nickname: "Mentally Created Tree"

Logo: Against a blue sky over a field of dirt, the sun is rising and we see the Noggin logo. A tree quickly grows on it, with fat little birds approaching and a banner with "ORIGINAL" on it appearing.

FX/SFX: Just cute animation.

Music/Sounds: A whistling theme with drums.

Availability: Possibly extinct. Last seen on airings of Oobi and Miffy and Friends (Including Netflix streaming prints) on Noggin and Nick Jr. It also appeared on U.S. version of Connie the Cow.

Nickname: "Noggin Horn"
