I guess I can say yes. Not just that, but with animation services by Bardel Entertainment in Canada, and the series animated in Adobe Animate

It is you Carlos! Nice to see you here!

I found out on the Nickelodeon HD feed, during March 2008 - July 6, 2009, the Rating bugs were stretched to 16:9.

But by July 6, 2009, when the rating bugs were changed, they were no longer stretched, so I did how they were used during the time


March 2008 - July 6, 2009

(Episode: The Krusty Sponge. Date this episode aired in the HD feed: May 6, 2009




July 7, 2009 - 2017


(Episode: Tentacle Vision. Date: July 21, 2009



These were made by me. They are not real, but that’s how they looked like on the HD feed.



For the stretched one, because of the black bars, we couldn’t see it go through, so here is the rating bug itself



Fortunately, Nickelodeon HD did not go the same way as Cartoon Network HD, where 4:3 content was aired stretched, including the rating bugs.

Nicktoons U.K. and Ireland used to be a fullscreen channel where all widescreen content was aired in the letterbox format and all fullscreen content covered the entire screen. Then they went widescreen and fullscreen content was a bit zoomed in, but then they found master copies of all fullscreen episodes so now they air in their original aspect ratio.

I think I know how the Nickelodeon lightbulb logo was made Widescreen. First, they probably zoomed in the 4:3 versi9n a bit, then they continued to fill in the sides to be 16:9

Or maybe, it was originally made in widescreen but was made, in my terminology, fullscreen-friendly.

More likely, if it was made in widescreen, it would be zoomed in a bit so it wouldn't be like the 4:3 version

That explains why the 16:9 lightbulb logo was never used at the end of shows on Nickelodeon HD

Yes.

 

[CarlosTankEngineBoi]

Yes.

And I am talking about the feed from the US (where I live)

 

[CarlosTankEngineBoi]

Yes.

To be honest, the 4:3 version of the Nickelodeon lightbulb logo is better, especially when it’s upscaled to HD 720p, or HD 1080i/1080p.

I've always preferred widescreen logos, except when they were made in fullscreen, like the Paramount Animation logo.

If SpongeBob was 16:9 Widescreen as of Season 4, the resolution would be 720p, until 2007-2008ish when the resolution is put to HD 1080i because of HDTVs rolling out for the future

What do you mean?

 

[PinkPugPrincess]

What do you mean?

Here is what the Paramount Animation logo actually looks like:


What I mean by "widescreen logos in fullscreen" is "open-matte logos". I prefer them because the whole of what was made is shown.

Agreed. Basically, the Nickelodeon lightbulb logo was originally made in 4:3, but was zoomed in to 14:9, and the filling of the sides for Widescreen continued through the 14:9 ratio.

If they were gonna make it Widescreen, they should have just done it by having the 4:3 ratio, and just continue to fill the sides from there.

The way they did the 16:9 Nickelodeon lightbulb logo (by zooming the 4:3 version to 14:9, and filling the sides from there so it's 16:9) is the reason I like the 4:3 Nickelodeon lightbulb better, especially when it's upscaled to HD 720p, or HD 1080i/1080p.

Oh, and which version of the Nickelodeon lightbulb logo is better?

4:3
16:9

I need time to think about it and will reply with my final verdict soon.
