In designing the network, NBCUniversal worked with the mass media company Hallmark Media, who offered their input on the style and how to make it better for kids to watch. In 2002, NBCUniversal began shipping development kits to network developers, consisting of a modified nickelodeon tape, These development kits were known as Orbis.
