"Gee, this is harder than I thought." This article doesn't contain enough information. If you know anything about Seeing Orange, |
Seeing Orange is the sixth (fourth if excluding pre-Nickelodeon) era of Nickelodeon. It debuted in October 1, 1984, replacing the Silver Ball era. It was replaced with Abstract era in August, 2000.
Logo[]
This era is iconic for its revolutionary logo. It consists of the "Nickelodeon" word-now in the "Balloon" font-contained in an orange shape. However, it wasn't always a splat. In fact, the splat logo is really rare. The Nickelodeon logo was a lot of other things, almost anything you can imagine.
Bumpers, Idents, and Promos[]
Besides from being the most iconic era, it's also the most confusing. There is not one specific brand these bumpers fall in excluding the logo and font. There are various bumpers and idents in unique styles and each were used in different periods. Idents that launched at the same time usually become defunct at different times. There isn't even a specific screen bug or split screen credits for the era. There may be more obscure eras within this era, but that is unclear. Thee bumpers, idents, and promos are most likely famous for being whatever they wanted to be.
While the designs for idents were all over the place, the next bumpers are less of that.
Rectangles[]
These bumpers feature a rectangular Nickelodeon logo on the left, and a larger one flickering through photos of kids.
Jeff Sargent[]
The Jeff Sargent bumpers include frames of photos connected to "Nickelodeon" logos. they were used from 1993 to 1996? 1996 likely because that's when the next bumpers rolled out.
3D[]
Show-specific bumpers from September 25, 1995 to July 1998 has the show title and a 3d variant of the logo in dark patterns. Generic bumpers were used from October 1996 to July 1998. Two outfielding bumpers featuring paper cuts pictures of the "Nickelodeon" logo in front of photos were released from this time as well.
Steve Speer[]
This creator made Nickelodeon bumpers of various styles. These bumpers were used from October 1996 to July 1998. This series of bumpers was also one of the only ones in the era to use types words (excluding the "Nickelodeon" watermark, of course).
(Colossal) Pictures[]
This company made hand-drawn animated idents before, but they also made bumper with various styles that were used from July 1998 to August 2000.
