Armadillo Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Does everyone here remember how you used to roll your eyes when your parents would pee and moan about how there was nothing good on TV anymore, and how current music and whatnot wasn't as good as theirs? Keep that in mind.As for the logo, I don't know why you'd rebrand when your current brand is so darned recognizable, but I'm sure they have their reasons. Downgrade.

STL FANATIC Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I wonder what they'll do with Nick at Nite now.They recently (a year or so ago?) rebranded from the classic 50s/60s looking logo to one that drew great inspiration from the slimy Nick logo.Will they change that to match, or will they sticky with the slimy Nick at Nite logo with the reasoning that the generations who now watch Nick at Nite grew up with the slimy Nick logo?I worded that pretty poorly, I think, but you get the idea.

Keep that in mind.Someday, shows will never be as good as iCarly. Gyuuhhh.The other thing that's kinda funny about vintage Nick is that with cable television 20 years ago being a luxury and a novelty, channels didn't have to produce lots of original or compelling programming, and they didn't. Nickelodeon could fill out a day with Looney Tunes and old Canadian shows, and we were so happy to have more than Saturday morning cartoons that we gobbled it up. In retrospect, there was very much a "that oughta hold the little SOBs" vibe to Nickelodeon till, oh, about 1991, 1992ish. I kinda miss that. Not to say that mainstream cable channels no longer rely on reruns, but gone are the days when Nickelodeon could get by with those creepy National Film Board of Canada cartoons from the 1970s, or USA could waste middays on old game shows. It's all too slick now. There's too much at stake.I made a reference to Fred Penner's Place the other day and the other person didn't get it. Either it was unbelievably abstruse or I botched the reference. Possibly both. Something about how I had to duck under branches and follow a trail to reach a destination. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I wonder if new Nick clears the way for classic Nick. I'd be interested in catching one or two episodes of Kid Court, Pinwheel, Bananaman and You Can't Do That on Television. Was Fred Penner's Place the show where the department store dummies came to life after closing? I liked that show.EDIT: Nevermind. I was thinking of . 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JQK Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Seeing as how the old logo derived much of it's look from the Nickleodeon "Slime", and seeing as how no one has really been "slimed" on Nickelodeon for 15 to 20 years, i can see why a more contemporary logo was made.I'm neither for nor against. It's a fine looking wordmark. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick at Nite is considered a completely separate block of programming from Nickelodeon and I think may be run completely seperate from Nickelodeon all together.

mightynine Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Considering there's absolutely no mention of a new logo anywhere else, I'm inclined to believe this one is a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundy Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 What the hell does Spongebob have to do with a lack of green slime? If anything, Spongebob is the one show that still resembles the old Nick.Spongebob sure as hell does NOT represent the old nick to me, I stopped watching nick before they introduced that crap (I never got the appeal of it).I said it resembles old Nick, not represents. If you actually watch it, you'd see a bit of influence from Ren & Stimpy, and Rocko(from which SB's creator started). Spongebob's definitely more kid friendly, but there's some noticeable influence on the subversive humor, especially in the earlier episodes.

Puck Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 This doesn't say 'fun' or 'kid-friendly' to me in any way, shape or form.That's because it ISN'T fun anymore. Nickelodeon died when shows like Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude!, The Adventures of Pete & Pete and Legends of the Hidden Temple weren't shown by them anymore. End of story.Amazing what a generation will do, because in my eyes Nickelodeon died when they started those shows...despite the fact I loved Pete & Pete and watched the rest of the list, when they pulled Double Dare off the air, that channel died. Having said that, Nickelodeon really needs to sit down and rethink their entire lineup not just on Nick but Nick Jr., Noggin and The N. They all sorta blur together on what's what. They need to have stark contrast of what each channel targets and go after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, Spongebob is the one show that still resembles the old Nick.Spongebob sure as hell does NOT represent the old nick to me, I stopped watching nick before they introduced that crap (I never got the appeal of it).Refer back to DG's comment...But Nickelodeon isn't being targeted to 20-somethings. It's being targeted to 3-10 year olds. You not being entertained by a kids network says more about your viewing choices than it does the quality of the network.And while the logo isn't what I grew up with, that doesn't automatically make it bad. But it also looks a whole lot less fun than it used to.The logo is not as eye catching as the old Nick logo, but it's not bad by any means. It's different. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch Spongebob... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will sound ridiculous, but I have been trying to remember the name of that show forever! I was going through YouTube videos watching the intros to some of the shows I used to watch as a kid; , , , The Elephant Show, and of course Mr. Dressup!I could not for the life of me come close to remembering Today's Special, but I remembered Muffy the mouse and Sam the security guard.

The_Admiral Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Not Nickelodeon, but rather the Disney Channel before it became the marketing monolith it is today and was instead a premium channel that aired creepy kid shows: remember that Winnie the Pooh show that wasn't a cartoon but rather guys in big plush costumes in front of a green screen? God damn. I had a nightmare that took the form of that production style not two years ago. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camden Crazy Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Once I went to Universal in 2006 and saw that Nickelodeon Studios was barren and stripped of its old identity, that's when Nick officially died to me. I always remember seeing it in the after show credits and wanted to see the thing more than anything else...unfortunately I was too late.It's sad that the channel I basically grew up on is in shambles now. I wish they'd come out with a Nick Classic channel or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
