The Modifyers was a failed pilot submitted to Nickelodeon by Lynne Naylor and Chris Reccardi in 2007, and was aired on Nicktoons Network as part of the 13th final episode of Shorts in a Bunch. It stars Mae Whitman (Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Owl House), Paul Rugg (Freakazoid!) and Jeff Bennett (The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Johnny Bravo). Lynne Naylor and Chris Reccardi were well known for their works on shows like Ren and Stimpy, the Powerpuff Girls, and Disney’s Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!.

Agent Xero is a mistress of disguise, who works with her modular partner Mole as members of a secret mystery cracking team otherwise known as “the Modifyers”. The two work around the clock to foil the evil schemes of Baron Vain and his goony legion of henchmen.

No new plans for the Modifyers have been announced since the 2019 death of co-creator Chris Reccardi.

The end credits are set in Action Is, which is the font Lynne Naylor would use for her material since the late 1990s.

Darden Studio’s Omnes Black is the titling font for Nick Jr.

Nick Jr. is Nickelodeon’s preschool programming block and also the name of a dedicated pay TV channel. It’s best known for shows like PAW Patrol, Dora, Peppa Pig, Dinosaurs in Space, Blaze & The Monster Machines, and Baby Shark’s Big Show.

On the Nick Jr. website, kids can watch full episodes and videos, play games, and interact with their favorite characters. Omnes Black – the boldest weight of the family – is here used for headlines, alongside text in Neue Plak.

The heavyweight with the selectively rounded corners also features on title cards in the video clips themselves, as well as for the names of the Wheel of Games podcast and the Party Adventure video game, among other formats.

Omnes is typically used in all caps, with smaller text in several weights from Neue Plak.

Omnes Black is also used for title cards of video clips.

Rugrats: Artsy Antics, the first release from May 2001

From Wikipedia:

Rugrats is an American animated television series created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó, and Paul Germain for Nickelodeon. The series focuses on a group of toddlers, most prominently Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil, and their day-to-day lives, usually involving life experiences that become much greater adventures in the imaginations of the main characters.

In 2001 Paramount Home Entertainment introduced a standard template for their VHS releases of the series. In the UK it was used for eleven VHS releases, from Rugrats: Artsy Antics (7 May 2001) to Rugrats: Mysteries (3 March 2003).

The titles and callouts are set in Triplex Sans Bold and the episode synopses are set in Kids. “Composer” and “Created By” credits are set in FB Agency Condensed Regular, the Nickelodeon URL in Eagle Bold, the VHS statistics in Helvetica and “Distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment (UK)” in a Garamond, possibly Berthold Garamond. The barcode number is set in OCR-B. Text in the triangle uses Gill Sans and the VHS label is in Arial.

Rugrats: Easter was first released in March 2002.

Nickelodeon AKA Nick rebranded in 2017 with the help of Argentinian design studio Superestudio. The rebrand utilizes René Bieder’s Galano Grotesque. Their case study describes it as a “Confident, no frills, modern sans-serif with some attitude”.

Built around the concept of “Kids First,” we developed the rebrand showcasing a diverse array of school-age children interacting with the world and characters of Nickelodeon in a playful and surreal mix of live-action and graphics. The project consisted of more than 250 deliverables, including bumpers, IDs, promo toolkits and graphic developments for social media and off-air use for the US channel, with updated elements for the international channels to follow. — Superestudio

You know, that one show about a blue bird and his friends that got buried under all the territory SpongeBob and the Louds have taken for themselves.

Founded in 2002, Omation Animation Studio is the animation division of Steve Oedekerk’s O Entertainment, known for producing animated TV series for Nickelodeon.

Omation’s logo uses the Jokerman typeface with purple lowercase letters. The yellow O kid is custom drawn. The logo in Jokerman was first introduced in 2007. The letterforms were initially flat and later got a 3-dimensional treatment.

From 1981 to 1984, children TV channel Nickelodeon used a logo in multi-colored, 3‑dimensional and overlapping letters from the Frankfurter typeface, with a dotted I. According to Fred/Alan, “famous television designer, a moonlighting Lou Dorfsman, had designed the logo in 1981, and our brilliant friend Bob Klein had added a silver ball that zoomed around the screen in and out of everything a kid might find exciting.” “The pinball theme was used in the network’s IDs during the period, including one that used early 1980s-era computer graphics.” — Logopedia

In 1984, it was replaced by the iconic logo featuring Balloon on orange.

The instantly recognizable Nickelodeon logo is, at times, misattributed to George Lois (the famous designer who famously told tales). Lois wrote on his website:

In 1984 I created the Nickelodeon logo, which, like a kid’s imagination, could be a zillion and one different versions: a bomb, a guitar, an egg, a turkey, or a smile. From that day, the only way you could tell a real Nick logo from an imposter is: the shape is always orange!

Wikipedia contradicts this account, giving credit to Tom Corey and Scott Nash:

Fred/Alan (now Frederator Studios), teamed up with Tom Corey and Scott Nash of the advertising firm Corey McPherson Nash to replace the "Pinball" logo with an "orange splat" logo featuring the "Nickelodeon" name written in the Balloon font, which would be used in hundreds of different variations over the next 25 years.

Fred Siebert (designer of the MTV logo) of Fred/Alan tells his story of the logo creation in detail:

Tom and Scott argued that orange generally clashed with everything and that would make the logo stand out (as long as we didn’t let designers try and make it work “correctly.”) The splat could morph into any image we liked.

Bob and Gerry didn’t buy it. No one else there did either. “It doesn’t match anything.” “It’s flat.” “It’s not as cool as the MTV logo, what happened to you guys?”

Ultimately, we prevailed. I’m not really sure how, since all their objections were right on. But we were the “logo guys,” so they eventually bought our action. I’m thrilled they did, since our work with Nickelodeon is some of my favorite stuff in our careers.
