Early Nickelodeon ID's/Bumpers- 1979-1984
10 years ago
General
I found this video while browsing YT, and found these ID's from Nick's early years. This was well before the network became a big success, back when it was just a little known premium channel unlike the juggernaut it became post 1984. These bumpers clearly show how the channel struggled to find it's feet and audience in it's early days.
Note: There is no known footage circulating of the channel when it was under it's 1977-1979 branding of Pinwheel at this time.
Kid Viewing Nickelodeon ID (1979-1980)- The only footage available of the network in it's infancy, this sure is a weird bumper.

Nickelodeon Mime ID (1980-1981)- This is most likely the creepiest bumper that the channel ever used, hands down!!!

"Silver Ball"/Pinball ID's (1981-1984)- Fairly decent, even though the effects used for these bumpers are pretty dated for their time
