Comedy Central Productions: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a humorous image of an animal or person superimposed on another stock image in a usually frilled or stamp-like frame with the words "'''CTV: The Comedy Network'''" written below in Kabel Ultra Bold.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A stock music sting.

'''Logo:''' The Comedy Central logo (a {{color|purple}}-{{color|blue}} globe showing the Americas, with tall buildings on the North American part and a black marquee reading "{{color|gold|'''COMEDY-CENTRAL'''}}") is placed on a pile of rusty tires on a junkyard. The marquee spins around from time to time.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Penn Jillette saying "This has been a presentation of Comedy Central!"

'''Variant:''' On season 7 of ''MST3K'', the logo fades in and is silent.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Penn Jillette saying "This has been a presentation from Comedy Central", along with some men scatting and whistling the network's generic tune from the time throughout, and ending with a man shouting "HEY!"

*Similar to the next logo, ''South Park'' episodes on their website have a copyright stamp added to the logo, along with the Comedy Central URL.

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

'''Variant:''' Sometimes, the logo has no copyright stamp; only the URL in black. ''South Park'' episodes that did not have it later had it added below on the southparkstudios.com versions.

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

*A variant on ''Upright Citizens Brigade'' exists where the logo quickly switches between the {{color|blue}}/{{color|darkblue|dark blue}}, {{color|silver}}/{{color|red}}, and {{color|green}}/{{color|darkgreen|dark green}} palettes.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A low "WHOOSH" as the logo zooms in, followed by a hip hop and techno drum fanfare (used on Comedy Central's bumpers at the time) or the closing theme of the show.

*Current reruns of ''South Park'' keep this logo intact; however, it's part of the split screen credits. Therefore, the logo is sometimes extended to fit with the length of the commercial (in case it is too long). This is done by having the logo play as normal with the last bit of the circle animation going on a continuous loop when the finished product appears.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A funky bass/guitar sounder that loops itself, not unlike the ones heard on Comedy Central's commercial tags at the time. It depends on the variant.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|gold|yellow}}-{{color|orange}} gradient background, we see several graffiti designs in different styles moving and a grunge-like Comedy Central logo, then it zooms in to the logo in the center with "'''this has been a presentation of'''" above, and "'''comedycentral.com'''" below.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A hip-hop/techno tune.

'''Variant:''' There is a version that has the word "PRESENTATION" misspelled as "PRESENTATON".

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the previous logo, or sometimes a different hip-hop tune is used.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|limegreen|lime green}} background, we see an extreme close-up of a white grunge-like Comedy Central logo with the holes in the letters "'''O'''", "'''R'''" and "'''A'''" filled in, skewed to the right and flashing a bit. It then suddenly cuts to a normal version of the logo next to a {{color|limegreen|green}}, white, and {{color|lightskyblue|blue}} cloud with the text "'''PRODUCTIONS'''" in a grunge-like font with all holes filled in. A copyright stamp with the year of the ''South Park'' episode's release next to it appears below in white.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A rough guitar tune.

'''Trivia:''' Comedy Central introduced the new logo (designed by The Lab) on December 9, 2010 and debuted it on January 1, 2011.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the rebrand montage. The song is an instrumental excerpt of "Wham Bam" by Clooney, which is a part of the Extreme Music library and has been featured in many promos for other Paramount-owned networks (like Nickelodeon and VH1).

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the white words "'''COMEDYCENTRAL'''". Then, the two "'''C'''"s from the previous logo pop in while the word "'''CENTRAL'''" is in upside-down.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the show.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|dimgray|dark gray}} background, the two "{{color|deepskyblue|'''C'''}}"s from the last two logos briefly wipe in while flickering. Then, the words "{{color|deepskyblue|'''COMEDY'''}}" and "{{color|deepskyblue|'''CENTRAL'''}}" (with "{{color|deepskyblue|'''CENTRAL'''}}" upside-down) appear on the left and right side respectively. The final result has a {{color|deepskyblue|robin's egg blue}} color similar to the background of the previous logo. A copyright stamp appears below.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Three electronic xylophone notes, followed by two high synth notes. A noise sounding like a TV tuner interference can also be heard in the background.

'''Variant:''' This logo often shares the screen with other logos.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the show.
