It’s weird not to hear her talking about demons and serial killers

The Nickelodeon logo the old one is so iconic I grew up with this in the 200os and I love the old shows they had

Adventure Time just ended
Gravity falls ended in 2016
The amazing world of gumball ending in 2019
SpongeBob: you fools can't kill me!

Fun fact: Cyma Zarghami (the president of Nickelodeon from 2006 to 2018) changed the Nickelodeon Logo to the Bland Lettering we know of today because "It didn't look good on a Business Card".



She was a terrible President.

Hopefully Brian Robbins care about Nick more than she ever did, so glad she's finally gone.

I'm an early 00s kid (02) and I definetly remember the splat logo. I miss it.

The new Nickelodeon logo isn’t bad, but it doesn’t feel timeless like the old splat logo.

4:41 "The Splat was dated." The Splat is timeless!

[beckybecky]

it's iconic because it was used for 25 years (1984-2009) which is long ok end of video

The NICKELODEON Orange Splat Logo Is The One I Like The Most.

Omg this videos so good with explaining and editing. I gotta do something about the lack of views here

I was only 4 when they changed the logo, but I remember seeing the splat at a very early age. The splat always stayed with me. Most of my early memories have always stuck with me. I may grew up on the current logo, but I don't find as cool as the logo I first saw in my life.

I’m a kid and I agree with most of these adults and I wish I saw some of the older shows. At least there will be those TV movies.

I'm only 13, almost 14, and I miss this logo so dearly, I cherish this logo so much. And it's sad to say that the modern era kids are watching this, but I was born in the 2000's. I don't necessarily see how this represents a children's programming network. With this logo, the orange could be slowly dying out. It's not the same logo we have, and it makes me want to look back, but I only remember a little of it. I don't know if it's my memory fading away, or if I never got to see it enough. I always wanted this to be a good channel, and I miss it dearly. As of 2009, the good old Nickelodeon died. It's no longer what it is anymore. Nickelodeon has slowly faded away, and it's sad to say that I'm currently almost 14, but I was 4 when they changed it. i was still pretty young when they had changed it.

i get what the 200+ people are saying here, but the main reason why nick made a more simple logo, is because, yes, everyone loves the splat, but they were worried buisness wouldn't like it, which sounds like you wanna shoot yourself with a bleach gun. if you wanna blame anybody for this nick logo, blame buisness.
in my personal opinion, i think not only the old, but the new logos i like. the similaraties that the fred/alin and the eric zim design have are great, as well, but i won't list them here because you know what they are.

The iconic logo I remember more is definitely YouTube. But hey, the 1984 logo is always been my 3rd favorite logo, behind the CBS and 20th Century Fox logos.

[paperchasindude]

The old Nickelodeon logo looks better than the new one

[Mkr_]

in my opinion Nickelodeon is still one of the greatest channles for kids I like this logo but its 2020 maybe nick is going to change its logo again although that's unlikely but I like when things change its refreshing

[olucaszb]

All the backlash against the current logo comes from those who grew up in the 90s. I grew up in the 2000s. I was there when Nick did the logo transition (down here in Brazil, it was in 2010). I have fond memories of both the splat and the current logos.
The splat brings Drake & Josh to my mind. The new one brings iCarly and Victorious.
The promos with the splat were much more colorful, and the ones with the new logo were way more filled with plain orange and slime.
Different styles for different generations, but I love both of them.
One of these days they will change again, and guess what? We may hate the changes, but another generation will love them.

This channel is smaller than I expected
