Nickelodeon original logo included a man looking into a Nickelodeon machine that was placed in the N. This wasn't obvious when the logo was shown in smaller sizes, something which ultimately led to the logo's retirement and replacement.

1981-1984


This logo was introduced in 1981. It was designed by Lou Dorfsman. Bob Klein added a pinball behind it.

1984-2009


From 1984, Nickelodeon has used lots of different logos, with a common theme. They were all orange silhouettes with the Nickelodeon wordmark written on them. Eventually, the splat design would be the most used. As of 2010 Nickelodeon (arabia) the only international version of Nickelodeon that still uses the splat logo.
