The 2nd Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards was held on April 18, 1988, from the Conan Sword and Sorcery Spectacular Arena at Universal Studios Hollywood. This was the first event held under this title, and first to feature a live audience, as well as celebrity hosts and attendees, while the first ceremony occurred the previous year in 1987 as The Big Ballot, and only featured taped segments linked together by its studio hosts.{{cite news|title=Stamberg Never Rests on Sunday|date=April 7, 1987|newspaper=Philadelphia Daily News}} The show also featured the first "KCA trophy", which was created by original logo designers Tom Corey and Scott Nash.[http://fredalan.org/post/69174412/the-nickelodeon-logo-designed-by-tom-corey-scott The Nickelodeon Logo, The Fred/Alan Archive]
