Logo: In a dark room, we a hand reaches up and pulls on a string, which reveals a Nickelodeon logo shaped like a lightbulb, with a green electric charge surrounding the bulb forming the word "productioNs" on the bottom-right side. The copyright information is below with various fonts depending on every show (it's absent on some shows, such as Romeo! and is not present in the long version).

Variants:


 * On just about every Nick show produced during the time period, this logo skipped over the hand scene.n


 * the second season of Kenan and Kel, the logo cut to the Nickelodeon Studios logo of the era.

FX/SFX: 3D animation (The sparks look 2D, though).

Cheesy Factor: On Romeo!, the logo is stretched out vertically, obviously not something that shouldn't be done. Also there's no visual indication if there are any other objects in the basement other than the lightbulb.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show or a buzzing sound.

Availability: The "hand" part of the logo is extinct as it has only supposedly appeared on 1996 Kids' Choice Awardsfirst run. The logo is now harder to find than it was in the past, thanks to plastering, but it can be seen at the end of Kenan & Kel, (starting with season 2), along with reruns on TeenNick as part of The Splat (not falling victim to the split-screen credits), as well as pre-2007 Nick series such as Drake & Josh, Unfabulous, and earlier episodes of iCarly. When the shows that used this logo went on to the 43rd logo,Just Jordan kept this logo until its end in 2008.

Scare Factor: None to low. The buzzing is kind of jarring, but viewers can quickly get used to this. The scare factor generally depends on how loud the buzzing is. For example, Taina had the buzzing at a loud volume, while other shows had it at a rather quiet volume. None for the closing theme variant. This is generally a well-known and memorable logo among fans of the '90s Nick.

===22nd Logo (1994-1998)=== Nicknames: "The Nickelodeon Slug", "The Crawling Worm"

Logo: On a background, we see an <span style="color:rgb(255,165,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:normal;">orange  3D worm inching up and down through unseen holes.

===43rd Logo (September 26, 2009- )=== Nickname: "<span style="color:rgb(255,111,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:normal;">Orange  Letters"

Logo: On a white background, we see a few CGI <span style="color:rgb(255,132,0);font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:normal;">orange  lines bounce and connect together to form the new Nickelodeon logo (which is simply the word, "nickelodeon" in it's new customized typeface and is rather similar to the old "pinball" logo from the early '80s). After this is complete, PRODUCTIONS, set in the ubiquitous Gotham, fades in underneath the logo. A copyright byline is shown below.

Trivia: The new logo was introduced in July 2009 and officially on September 28, 2009, however TeenNick and Nicktoons used this logo on end credit tags of their programs as a plaster a couple days earlier. The logo was designed by Eric Zim and the font for this logo is called "Litebulb".

Variants:
 * Sometimes, like in ​TeenNick reruns of All That, it is in warpspeed.
 * A version without a copyright stamp was spotted on a repeat broadcast of the sneak peek/pilot of Victorious on March 29, 2010 along with a few episodes of T.U.F.F. Puppy.
 * A small in-credit version of this logo exists on Big Time Rush split-screen episodes on Nickelodeon.
 * There is a shorter version of this logo seen on post-2010 episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants.
 * On shows produced by Nickelodeon's Australian unit, the words "A Nickelodeon Australia Production" are seen above the copyright stamp.
 * NickMom shows use a variation of the logo, featuring various still shots of a woman's high heels on a purple background. The Nick logo flips in and "PRODUCTIONS" wipes in underneath it, as copyright info appears in black boxes with white texts.

FX/SFX: CGI animation. This was done by Trollback + Company in New York.

Cheesy Factor: The animation looks rather plastic, cheap and simple, like it was done in Adobe After Effects.

Music/Sounds: A techno beat, then an instrumental version of the famous Nick theme song. The NickMom variant uses a different techno theme.

Music/Sounds Variants:


 * Some shows use a shortened version of the music, or the end theme. T.U.F.F. Puppy uses a quiet guitarriff from the show.
 * On Dan Schneider's shows, bubbling sounds are heard.
 * On some episodes of Dora the Explorer of the time, like "Dora's Super Soccer Showdown", the music is low-pitched.

Availability: Very common. Appears on all shows on Nickelodeon & NickToons as of September 26, 2009 to Match 10th, 2017. It was currently used on the PAW Patrol special "The New Pup", due to the error occurred on all airings on Nickelodeon.

Scare Factor: None, it's tame.

===44th Logo (March 11th, 2017-)=== Logo: It varies: FX/SFX: Varies.
 * Kids: On a light blue background, we see "nick" in its 2009 wordmark with the "I" extended. On the stripes, three kids are holding onto it. We cut to the kid pulling out the "I", and then releases it. We cut to the Nickelodeon wordmark forming with "PRODUCTIONS" sliding in below "nickelodeon".
 * Bubbles: On a white background, four orange bubbles with the letters of "Nick's floats up while the letters of the 2009 Nickelodeon wordmark floats up to connect and the small orange "PRODUCTIONS" floats up and rests below "Nickelodeon". The copyright info fades in below as it animates.

Music/Sounds: Varies.

Availability:  Current. It was debuted on March 11th, 2017. It plastered the other logos like the previous logo. The "Kids" logo has debuted on later season 10 episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants beginning with "SpongeBob's Place/Plankton Gets the Boot". The "Bubbles" logo is debuted on Kids Choice Awards 2017.

Scare Factor: None.
