<u>Nicknames:</u> "Comedy Central on the Moon", "Building Earthquake"

<u>Music/Sounds/Voice-over:</u> Penn Jillette says: "This has been a presentation from Comedy Central" along with the network's generic tune playing throughout (some drums playing against whistling), and ending with a man shouting "HEY!".

<u>Editor's Note:</u> None.

===3rd Logo (June 5, 1996-November 30, 1997)===

<u>Nicknames:</u> "The ATM", "Comedy Central ATM"

<u>Music/Sounds:</u> The whirring of the credit card being inserted and the "beeping" sounds, like a real ATM.

<u>Editor's Note:</u> None.

===4th Logo (August 13, 1997-December 1, 1999)===

<u>Nicknames:</u> "The Transmitter", "Yellow Rings"

<u>Music/Sounds:</u> An "interference" sound followed by loud synth "bong" sounds as the "rings" come out from the transmitter, or the closing theme of the show.

<u>Availability:</u> Common. It first appeared on the first episode of ''South Park'' as part of the variant for the previous logo. Preserved on recent showings of early episodes of ''South Park'' on Comedy Central and the South Park Studios website along with DVDs. Unfortunately, compressed credits prevent it from being seen the way it was meant to be. Preserved on DVDs and VHS tapes of season five and the first six episodes of season six of ''Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist'', earlier episodes of ''Bob and Margret'' and on ''Comedy Central Presents'' episodes from the era, although the first episode is plastered by the sixth logo.

===5th Logo (May 29, 1999-January 21, 2001, February 13, 2002)===

<u>Nicknames:</u> "The Bubbles", "Comedy Central Aura"

===6th Logo (October 2000-May 28, 2004)===

<u>Logo:</u> Over a shaded orange background, we see lots of yellow circles zooming toward the viewer. The circles have zooms-up bits of the current Comedy Central logo (much like the original, but looking more abstract, with different buildings and a different font) and other text to be seen at the end product. When the circles are done, we are treated with the end product, the updated Comedy Central logo in the center with "THIS HAS BEEN A PRESENTATION OF" above in black, and "comedycentral.com" below, in white. There is a backdrop of circles zooming behind the logo.

<u>Editor's Note:</u> None.

<u>Logo:</u> Just the in-credit text "THIS HAS BEEN A PRESENTATION OF COMEDY CENTRAL" with a copyright stamp below.

===8th Logo (2004-2005?)===

<u>Nickname:</u> "Hip-Hop Central"

===9th Logo (2005-December 31, 2010)===

<u>Logo:</u> Up against a lime green background, we see an extreme close-up of a white grunge-like Comedy Central logo with the circles in the letters "O" and "R" filled in, skewed to the right that flashes a bit, then it suddenly cuts to a normal version of the logo next to a green, white, and blue cloud with the text "PRODUCTIONS" in a grunge-like font with all circles filled in. A copyright stamp with the year of the South Park episode next to it appears below in white.
