Growing up in the 80s and 90s was a magical time for many reasons, none more so than the abundance of classic TV shows from Nickelodeon. A wild and rambunctious network, Nickelodeon connected with young people by refusing to speak down to them. Rugrats. You Can’t Do That on Television. Ren and Stimpy. Are You Afraid of the Dark? Clarissa Explains It All. These shows broke new ground, proving that kids TV could be smart, witty, unique, and memorable. Of course, at the heart of Nickelodeon was its legendary “splat” logo. Inspired by buckets of oozy slime, the “splat” emblem summed up Nickelodeon as a whole - messy, irreverent, and sure to delight tweens. But the Nickelodeon logo never stays the same for very long. In its almost fifty year life, the network has produced an endless number of logo variants, embracing a child-like creativity that celebrates quirky, imaginative designs. Join me as I dive into the logo-verse and recount the amazing, slime-drenched history of the Nickelodeon banner.
"Into the Logo-Verse" is a series of mini documentaries exploring the history behind the most iconic movie logos of all time. Discover the fascinating stories and little-known facts that provide a whole new perspective on these often overlooked gems.
