Its only form of programming at the time was the educational series Pinwheel, and C-3 was often referred to as the "Pinwheel Channel" as a result.
1978–1979 (pre-launch)
Typography: Odin Launched: December 1978 Nickelodeon was officially announced by Warner Cable in the end of 1978. Its name was derived from a type of movie theatre which charged 5 cents (nickel cents) for admission. This concept was represented in their first logo, which depicts a man looking into a kinetoscope within the letter "N" of the wordmark. Some cable providers continued to use this logo in advertisements after the network's launch.

In 1984, Nickelodeon introduced the iconic orange splat logo—an explosion of creativity that became its signature look for decades. With its rough, hand-painted strokes, it was like the logo was saying, “We don’t do inside the lines!”. The splash was like the ultimate high-five from a brand that wasn’t afraid to get messy.
