Nickelodeon’s “splat” logo, first introduced in 1984, is going to be replaced this fall by a brand new logo that will provide a fresher look for the kids’ television network.  The decision to give new life to the aging Nickelodeon logo came about after all the Nickelodeon channel logos were placed on a single business card.  Other Nick channels include Nick at Nite, Nicktoons, Nick Jr. (formerly Noggin) and TeenNick (formerly the N).   According to Cyma Zarghami, president of Nick and MTV Networks’ Kids and Family Group, “We wanted to clean it [the logo] up and allow Nick to be the stamp on all of these channels.  In asking ourselves if everything could live under the splat, we decided that the splat was dated.  It just couldn’t be done in a streamlined way.”  With the celebration of Nickelodeon’s 30th anniversary this fall, the company “felt like this was the year (for an update).”  Not only will the Nickelodeon logo be changed, but all Nickelodeon channels will for the very first time include the word ‘Nick’ in it.  RIP, splat.  What do you think the new Nickelodeon logo should look like?
