Cartoons are a lot harder to create than traditional logos that have a swoosh here and a line there. It requires a special type of talent, the right software, the right equipment and a cartoonist who understands the business side of cartoons.

The programming on Nick Toons offers a unique experience within today's animated world in the UK. Many cartoons are simply based around slapstick comedy but Nick's Toons have an anchor of reality in them as well as the comedy element. Subjects like sibling rivalry (CatDog) and friends overcoming obstacles (Hey Arnold) are dealt with in a way that is entertaining for the viewer without being pure fantasy -- there's no running off cliffs and surviving the fall in Nick Toons. Kids are able to see parallels between their own lives and situations and the toon action on screen.

Publicity surrounding the contest led to renewed tension between the Islamic world and Denmark,[79] with the OIC and many countries weighing in. The Danish government condemned the youths, and those who were depicted in the video went into hiding after receiving death threats.
