Over a black background is the 3MTV green splat logo in 2D. Then, the background glows dark green, and the splat grows as its shape changes to that of a lightbulb and the "NICKELODEON" text stretches towards the screen. The splat then zooms out via a rather blurry iris-out effect, revealing the 3MTV logo as a lightbulb. The lightbulb then rotates towards the screen. A reflection can be seen underneath both the splat and the lightbulb. The lightbulb then changes back to the splat at the end.
Like the 17th logo, it was primarily used for split-screen credits until the 2009 rebrand. However, it was more widely used outside of the split-screen credits compared to it. It also appears on Hotel Mates, which premiered before the 2009 rebrand and 3MTV Toons since June 2024. It was also seen on Hotel Mates episodes from season 1 to early season 2 (when it switched to the 2009 logo)
