Logo: On a white background, an orange object blurs in from the somewhat-bottom-left to the bottom-center, revealing it is a 2D 8-bit robot composed of large pixels. It then moves towards us, and stops as it mildly sways. Then, it blinks, and spins around rapidly. When it stops spinning, the word "NICK" (in its 1984-2009 font, called "Balloon") appears on the robot. The word "GAMES" (in an 8-bit font) swings up from the bottom and lands on the robot's feet, bouncing it a bit, and it blinks one last time before we fade out.
Variant: A still variant exists. It can be found on games for cartridge-based handheld consoles and Vtech's V.Flash system.
FX/SFX: Very well-done 2D-style 3D animation.
Music/Sounds: A descending chiptune theme with some sound effects as the robot moves, which stops as the robot comes to us. A brief "boom" is heard as the robot blinks, and we hear a loud whirl as it spins. We then end with a robotic voice saying "Nick. Games.", and 2 brief chiptune notes.
Availability: Very common. Seen on almost every Nickelodeon game from the period, such as Rugrats: Royal Ransom, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, The Fairly OddParents: Breakin' Da Rules, and many more.
Scare Factor: None to low. Its sudden appearance could startle some, but it's a favorite logo among many late-1990s and early-2000s Nick fans.
