'''Abstract''' is the seventh (fifth if excluding pre-Nickelodeon) branding era of [[Nickelodeon]]. It debuted in [[September 4]], [[2000]] through [[October 10]] [[2002]], replacing the [[Seeing Orange]] era. It was replaced with [[Pictograph]] on [[October 11]], [[2002]].

== Bumpers, Idents, and Promos ==
The more complicated part of Nickelodeon's era wasn't all over the place like the last era. Things got much simpler. A bit too simpler, per se. The bumpers consist of shifting images of Nick characters and the Nickelodeon logo. They would either be up close, or far away. Promos were also affected by this, because it's a brand and we need to know their era. Split screen credits were introduced in this era, using the same branding as all else. Besides promos, the bumpers don't use music all that much. Instead, cartoon sound effects will play every time the screen changes.

While the bumper became defunct, idents aired during the Pictograph era.

==Trivia==
*The design for this era was used for various merchandise, such as the board games Nickelodeon Trivia Game and Nickelodeon Marble Madness, the ''[[The Newest Nicktoons]]'' album, and a few VHS releases.
**It was also used in commercials for the [[Rugrats: Royal Ransom|2002]] [[SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman|Nickelodeon]] [[Rocket Power: Beach Bandits|video]] [[Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius (video game)|games]].
**It was also supposed to be used for other merchandise, but nothing came to be <ref>https://www.burningsettlerscabin.com/nickelodeon</ref>
*This era leans more forward to Nicktoons, as there were little bumpers for live-action shows.
