Why Nickelodeon?
In one of the first logos that was created for this channel, a man appeared turning a crank to project a movie, this is because they intended to refer to the cinemas of the twentieth century.
The name of these rooms is the result of the combination "nickel", which is the name of the 5 cent coin that we all know, and the Greek word "odeon", which was a type of small and covered theater.
The Nickelodeon logo
Did you know that their logo has not always been the same?
The first logo of the new company was created the same year and only remained until 1989. It was quite rare and interesting where a man in a hat looked inside the first letter of the nameplate, which looked like a Nickelodeon machine, which was a projector.
This was redesigned in 1989 and made in a more elegant and imaginative way. The curved shape of the letter "N" made the word seem more fun and welcoming, as well as conveying a lightness to "Nickelodeon" with smooth lines. This logo also lasted only one year.
The one that was created in 1981, lasted around three years. It was a more colorful version, which featured a globe in a gray and purple hue with a multi-color wordmark placed horizontally over it. Each letter had different colors like purple, green or blue.
The new visual identity was created in 1984, featuring today's orange and white colors, symbolizing happiness and bringing smiles to all viewers. This logo is composed of a white background and on it is the Nikelodeon brand in orange, but there were many different versions created between 1984 and 2009: from white letters on an orange stain to an abbreviated "Nick".
Finally, in 2009, this channel redesigned the logo again and it is the one that has remained until today. The range of colors was maintained but the style of the letters changed completely. Now the letters are lowercase, which looks even more inviting and inviting than it was. The most interesting element of this logo is the shape of the letter "I", which looks like a keyhole that presents a world full of fun, adventure and entertainment.
