For me it's a so-so... I always asked myself why the heck they took the balloon-font in there logo. It was not really "uniform" with the splash. They could have done a better job there...
The new one... well they did a better job on the font-choice. But I miss some kind of Identity. Something (e.g. a butterfly)that will tag the icon (the butterfly) to Nickelodeon. Also the logo doesn't refer to kids-content.
We all have to get used to it I guess... That's my opinion.
Yeah the only thing I really liked of the old logo was the splat. The font choice was just terrible.
If you look at most of the shows their not really kid oriented. It's more preteen/tween stuff. So i think the logo shouldnt really relate to kids by themselves. But you're right, it is lacking... something. The drop for the 'i' is a nice start but without knowing what else can be done i really shouldnt pass judgment XD
the good 'ol splat reminds me of all my favorite cartoons like Rocko, Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold!, Yu-Gi-Oh!(first seasons), etc. But hey, may be this new one should be good for the new generations, its simple like all things right now.
But any way, the splat will always have a place in our hearts *o*
I think it follows the tendency to simplicity in today's design
Everything seems to be changing to more simple, light shapes, just like the pepsi logo.
Tho I also grew up with those shapes, those images, like the pepsi wave and the nickelodeon splat, and I kinda gonna miss them, I think the new design is nice and I know I'll get used to it eventually XD

The splat thing was cool then.
