Video Featuring A Montage Of Seasonal Nickelodeon International Idents

Below is a high quality (HQ) high-definition (HD) streaming video which features a montage of seasonal Nickelodeon Idents which features five Nickelodeon Seasonal IDs which were directed and designed for Nickelodeon International so that Nickelodeon channels and networks around the world (Planet Nickelodeon/Planet Orange) could broadcast them on-air to celebrate various different seasons during the year, such as Christmas, Easter, Spring, and Summer, by Sydney, Australia based award-winning design and motion studio 'The DMC Initiative' (also known as 'The DMCI').

The video montage below features five of Nickelodeon International's Seasonal Network Idents (Nickelodeon Station IDs). The first Nickelodeon Seasonal Ident is a Easter Nickelodeon Ident which features the famous Nickelodeon logo hatching from a white egg shell. The second Nickelodeon Seasonal Ident is a Christmas themed Nickelodeon Ident and features a Nickelodeon Orange and White coloured Santa Claus Christmas present toy sack which is full of the alphabet letters that make up the word 'Nickelodeon' in Nickelodeon's current logo font fall to the ground, which then makes all the letters that make up the word 'Nickelodeon' fall and tumble out of the sack and rearrange themselves to form the word 'Nickelodeon' to make up the Nickelodeon logo. The third seasonal Nickelodeon Ident is also a Nickelodeon Christmas Ident and features eleven Nickelodeon Christmas presents wrapped up in Nickelodeon Christmas wrapping paper [Nickelodeon Wrapping Paper] unwrapping, unraveling and opening themselves to reveal that each present contains a alphabet letter from the Nickelodeon logo, which then combine to make up the Nickelodeon logo. The fourth seasonal Nickelodeon Ident is a Valentines themed Nickelodeon Ident and features the Nickelodeon logo in a white font colour surrounded by Nickelodeon Orange coloured heart shaped balloons, arrows are then shot at most of the heart shaped orange balloons causing them to burst and turn the white coloured Nickelodeon logo orange by covering the Nickelodeon logo in orange paint splats/orange Nickelodeon Slime. The fifth Nickelodeon Seasonal Ident is also a Valentines Nickelodeon Ident (Nickelodeon Valentine Ident), and features the eleven letters of the Nickelodeon logo as chocolate/candy in separate wrappers in a heart shaped Valentines chocolate selection gift box. After all the chocolate Nickelodeon letters are munched and eaten, the Valentines candy box's lid is shown, revealing a heart shaped Nickelodeon logo:

Nickelodeon Seasonal IDs / Nickelodeon Global Seasonal Idents from The DMCI on Vimeo.

The DMCI was awarded the project to create a series of internationally broadcast IDs and Bugs for Nickelodeon. Based on the seasons – Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, Spring and Summer – the Ids are fun little snippets based around the Nickelodeon Logo.

The first 5 Ids have launched, with Spring and Summer to follow. The results are fantastic with Nickelodeon producer Simone Smith commenting: "I think it is unanimous on our end that we are thrilled with the final outcome of these IDs – you have a very talented team and we would like to extend our thanks for putting so much hard work and effort into this project."

We look forward to sharing the next set, but until then, enjoy!

Below are a selection of streaming videos featuring the brand new Nickelodeon Short series "Nickelodeon Screen Test", which features Nickelodeon Stars from popular Nickelodeon shows such as "Big Time Rush" (Kendall Schmidt (Kendall Knight), James Maslow (James Diamond), Carlos Pena (Carlos Garcia), and Logan Henderson (Logan Mitchell)), "Victorious" (Victoria Justice (Tori Vega), Leon Thomas III (Andre Harris), Matt Bennett (Robbie Shapiro), Elizabeth Gillies (Jade West), Ariana Grande (Cat Valentine), Avan Jogia (Beck Oliver), and Daniella Monet (Trina Vega)) and iCarly's Miranda Cosgrove answering personnel questions for Nickelodeon viewers.

"Nickelodeon Screen Test" was made by and for Nickelodeon in London, UK, when Miranda Cosgrove and the casts of the Nickelodeon shows "Big Time Rush" and "Victorious" visited London, UK during 2010/2011, and, according to the Nickelodeon Clapperboard featured in the first video, was directed by Nickelodeon UK's Director of Original Production, David Kangas, and was filmed by cameraman G. Davis, and the graphics were designed and created by Sheffield, UK-based creative studio agency "PIXEL DNA".

The first streaming video below, in high quality (HQ) and high-definition (HD), is a montage featuring some of the motion graphics and branding design elements from the new Nickelodeon vignette/Nickelodeon interstitial series called "Nickelodeon Screen Test", and also includes the opening title sequence for "Nickelodeon Screen Test":

It is currently unknown whether the new Nickelodeon Short "Nickelodeon Screen Test" is an Nickelodeon UK Exclusive Nick Short or whether it will also air on Nickelodeon's international channels, however, the word 'favourite' in James Maslow's first question is spelt 'favorite', which is the North American "American English" spelling of the word instead of "British English".
