Nickelodeon Russia Launches All-New On-Air Brand Refresh, Reflecting Playfulness and Imagination of Kids’ Lives

Nickelodeon Russia (Россия) became the first international Nickelodeon channel to launch Nickelodeon's all-new brand refresh, featuring a design that fully reflects the role of play and imagination in kids lives, and features a array of kids interacting with the real world and Nick’s beloved characters in surprising and surreal mixes of live-action and graphics.


The beginning of summer was marked by Nickelodeon Россия by a large-scale brand refresh - Russian viewers are among the first in the world to see their favourite TV channel with a brand-new design. Launched on Thursday 1st June 2017, Nickelodeon Россия rolled out the new creative design on-air and online, including the channels official social media networks.

The motto for Nickelodeon Россия is "Дети - на первом месте!", which fully incorporates with the goal of rebrand. Nickelodeon's new image demonstrates the role of imagination, creativity and play in the lives of children, combining real kids with 2D and 3D graphics to create imaginative reinterpretations of Nickelodeon’s properties and characters as they became real-world playgrounds for kids to bring to life, rearrange and redesign. From turning SpongeBob’s face into a tongue-twisted fun zone, to kids rearranging and rebuilding Lincoln Loud from The Loud House, everything from the overhead and docu-style camera angles to the seamless blend of real-world, tactile and fantastical elements, is designed to drive a visual conversation between the network and its audience. The result is an unusual and often surreal mixture of photo and graphics that kids are sure to love.


The new look consists of almost 300 elements, including bumpers, IDs, fillers, visual effects, graphic developments, and an extensive graphic package for creating promotional videos.

Nickelodeon's latest brand refresh reflects the fact that the channel has become a integral part in the life's of modern children, opening up new opportunities for them to play, create and communicate. Nickelodeon’s classic orange logo will now be set against an updated color palette of bright and cheerful tones, including purple, light blue, lime and cream. Embracing the bold, modern sans-serif type, Galano Grotesque Black, the refresh also uses color to create, contrast and codify the on-air messaging.


Created with global branding and creative agency Superestudio, based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Specifically for the Russian version of the channel, the Nickelodeon Россия team conducted a photo shoot to film local children to adapt the global creative materials to the local market.

Nickelodeon Россия's rebranding is taking place against the backdrop of key growth in the Russian television market - The average amount of time TV viewing has grown 5% compared to the same period last year, and amounted to 86 minutes for children of 8-15 years, while for boys' 7-9 years, the time spent watching television has increased to 20%. Nickelodeon Россия continues to be the leader in the amount of time watched by children aged 4-17 among the thematic channels in Russia, included in the measurement of TV Index Plus.


During the summer season, Nickelodeon Россия will host many premieres across all genres which are beloved by young viewers - preschool, animation and live-action series for children.
