Background: This page describes the opening IDs Nickelodeon used on their VHS releases. Beginning in 1996, when distribution of Nickelodeon videos switched from Sony Wonder to Paramount Home Video, Nickelodeon alternated between using their station IDs and their first home video ID before ultimately settling with the latter.
1st ID
(August 31, 1993-October 5, 1999)
Nickname: "Montage"
Logo: We see the barbershop singers from the "Easy Groove" ID singing the familiar Nick theme on the bottom-left of the screen, behind the parrot from the "Dog and Parrot" ID, who caws out the Nickelodeon logo in the form of a speech bubble. Then, the creature from the "Flying TV Monster" ID flies into the screen, and the TV on it switches to a background with a white floor and the Nickelodeon logo as its wall. Several characters from Nickelodeon IDs walk across it, including the "Blobman", the "Doo-Wop Dinosaurs", the "Frog" and several others. An alien-like character holding three sticks with TVs on them slams them onto the screen, transitioning us to another scene where the barbershop singers perform against an orange-tinted clip of the "Top of the Hour '86" bumper as more Nick ID characters move around in the background and foreground. Several transitions bring us to several edited versions of Nick IDs, such as the "Anteater" and "Nick Brew" bumpers against a city background, and the "T-Rex" barking against the "Better Off by Far" bumper, among others. Eventually, the barbershop singers re-appear as the Nickelodeon logo (in its form seen on, for example, Wild and Crazy Kids), in CGI and rotating from left to right as its design moves, appears above them. Finally, the logo ends with a TV switch-off effect.
Variant: A shortened version of this ID, beginning when the barbershop singers appear near the end, was used on Sony Wonder releases to close out the tape.
FX/SFX: A mixture of the various animation styles of the various IDs used, including hand-drawn animation, claymation, and CGI.
Music/Sounds: A remixed version of the classic Nickelodeon theme, mixed with the various sounds of the IDs.
Availability: Common. Seen on most Nickelodeon releases from the era released by Sony Wonder and Paramount Home Video. However, some tapes, like the Paramount re-releases of the Rugrats Sony Wonder tapes used one of the Nickelodeon station IDs from the time. It was first seen on the original Sony Wonder releases and was last seen on Rugrats: Make Room for Dil. This also appears on the 1995 Sony Wonder LaserDisc The Ren and Stimpy Show: The Essential Collection - Classics I & II.
Editor's Note: Some have stated this logo scared them when they were younger due to the large amounts of animation going on, as well as the switch-off effect. However, this is only a few people who have mentioned this. For the most part, this is a favorite of many.
2nd ID
(1996?-2002?)
Nickname: "One World, One Nickelodeon"Logo: TBAFX/SFX: A mix of live-action and CGI.Music/Sounds: TBAAvailability: Seen on Nickelodeon VHS tapes released outside North America (mainly in the UK and Australia) by CIC Video and later Paramount Home Video, such as several Rugrats tapes from the UK and the Australian VHS release of Blue's Clues: Arts & Crafts.
Editor's Note: None.
3rd ID
(January 11, 2000-January 28, 2003; October 15, 2013)
Nickname: "Maze", "The Nostalgic Maze", "The Green Labyrinth"
Logo: On a white background, a young boy and an older African-American girl appear in a static-like format (similar to when you turn on an old-school CRT TV). They spin around a bit, and then are "teleported" to a giant maze with grassy structures. A set of video controls (from left to right, pause, rewind, stop, play, fast forward) is shown at the bottom left corner of the screen as the kids run through the maze (as play is activated) until we go through a video game-like screen of a maze with orange squares (portals) and two small white squares (the kids), going into the center portal. The kids teleport into a different part of the maze while the camera pans at different angles. An orange butterfly then flutters near the kids (followed by several more) until they begin running through the maze again (as well as another video game-like screen of a maze with the kids going into the center portal, teleporting them once again). We then cut to the kids jumping on an orange flower at different perspectives, then cutting to the kids running through the maze once again being followed by and chasing an orange sphere until they reach a dead end, in which we then cut to them running and reaching the end of the case with the orange sphere following them. Finally, we cut to the kids facing the sphere on a white background. The camera zooms in while the Nickelodeon text appears and the same video controls from before appear and flicker until just the play button shows.
FX/SFX: A great mix of the live-action kids and the CGI effects.
Music/Sounds: An early 2000's synthpop tune with a drum-and-bass/UK garage beat, a guitar section, and some female harmonizing near the climax. There are also various sound effects heard throughout, including laughing near the opening, birds and cicadas chirping, and some boinging/beeping as the play button flickers at the end.Availability: Seen on Nickelodeon VHS tapes from the era, including later Rugrats tapes as well as the first few SpongeBob SquarePants VHS releases. It debuted onRugrats: I Think I Like You and made its final regular appearance on Rugrats: Mysteries. Strangely, this logo, along with the 1995 Paramount Home Video logo, also appears on the 2013Blu-ray release if you select either the first episode or "Play All" on the bonus episodes (which were the same episodes from the Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies releases), as those episodes used the same video master as their respective VHS releases. It was also used as a station ID.Editor's Note: This is a favorite bumper of many for its unique effects, great music and impressive CGI.
