The mascot, named "ACOW," which stands for Animation Capital of the World, was a complex robot character with a large singular eye, animated using "photo-puppetry." ACOW was prominently featured on the website and was used as part of the "Nicktoons Network: Animation Capital of the World" logo.

As of September 2021, the Nicktoons series that still remain are mostly more modern content, along with reruns of SpongeBob SquarePants, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, and The Fairly OddParents. However, Rugrats airs on the channel occasionally.
Due to Nickelodeon moving a lot of newer content to the channel, all the older Nicktoons, such as Hey Arnold! and The Ren & Stimpy Show, were removed from the schedule. Despite its name, the channel does not exclusively air Nicktoons, and has occasionally aired some of Nickelodeon's live-action series, such as The Thundermans and Henry Danger. Since its launch, Nicktoons has mainly aired programs carried over from the main Nickelodeon channel. Main article: List of programs broadcast by Nicktoons
As the network blended in more Nickelodeon programming into its schedule, the Nicktoons website was sunsetted, recommending viewers go to instead before eventually being fully redirected to the domain. Like Viacom's other HD channels, any programming produced in 4:3 SD is pillarboxed on this feed. A high-definition feed was launched on August 13, 2013, and is available on several providers.
On September 28, 2009, the network's logo changed as part of Nickelodeon's universal rebranding effort. By June 6, 2005, as the network's distribution increased, it began to carry regular advertising. The network was originally marketed as commercial-free, with comedic promos involving Nickelodeon Animation Studios, two-minute cartoon shorts from foreign markets, and former program promotions that had previously been used on Nickelodeon taking up commercial time. However, by early 2004, Nickelodeon management changed course and offered it to digital satellite services DirecTV and Dish Network. Nicktoons was launched as a standalone channel on May 1, 2002, as Nicktoons TV, part of the digital cable-exclusive MTV Digital Suite, in order to entice cable operators to pick up the network and give them a marketing advantage over satellite services.
