Nickelodeon did have their own test card as well though! I have a recording of it somewhere from 1999 (also went out with tone, like that recording of the Paramount one does), I think it only appeared at weekends at that point as Nick started an hour later than it did during the week.
I definitely remember the car horn version of the Paramount test card, shame there doesn't seem to be any recordings of it online though.
Edit: found a picture of the Nickelodon one, this has to date from 1998 at the earliest because of the characters that are in it, I guess it's possible they had earlier variations, but this is the only one I ever saw
