On October 8, 1984, Nickelodeon began utilizing a new theme with their multitude of logos: orange silhouettes with the network's name written in the Balloon Extra Bold font on them.

Designed by Fred/Alan, Inc., originally with just a star in mind, it has grown to be the most well-known and recognized Nickelodeon logo.
