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!
