Comedy Central Productions: Difference between revisions

'''Availability:''' Seen on season 1 of ''Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist'' on DVD and VHS, and the majority of seasons 6-7 of ''MST3K'' on VHS. This logo and the HBO Downtown Productions logo are retained on at least one episode of ''MST3K'' on PlutoTV, "The Starfighters".

'''Logo:''' On a background with wavy {{color|blue}} and {{color|gray}} lines, a slightly revamped version of the Comedy Central logo in {{color|blue}} and {{color|gold|yellow}} appears at the bottom of the screen, at first being distorted, but quickly sharpening up. The transmitter on the top of the logo "activates" and then many {{color|gold|yellow}} rings with the words "this has been a presentation of" inside begin to emerge from the transmitter. A white copyright stamp is shown below, along with the "comedycentral.com" URL.

'''Logo:''' On a background with what looks like bubbles floating around, the Comedy Central logo, now in black-and-white, zooms in from the center of the screen and glows. The text "THIS HAS BEEN A PRESENTATION OF..." is above it, and the copyright stamp for the show (usually "© [YEAR] Comedy Partners, Inc. All Rights Reserved") is below. This logo has seven different color palettes:

*Nearly all of the colors can be found on DVDs of ''Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist'' episodes from the era.

'''Logo:''' Over a shaded {{color|darkorange|orange}} background, we see lots of {{color|gold|yellow}} circles zooming in toward the camera. Each circle has a different close-up of the 2000 Comedy Central logo (much like the original, but looking more abstract, with different buildings and a different font) and the text "'''''THIS HAS BEEN A PRESENTATION OF'''''" scrolling to the right. When the circles move away, 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, and circles moving behind the logo.

'''Trivia:''' This logo was designed by Imaginary Forces, who gave the original design a major overhaul to freshen the network's brand image: the continents were simplified to a speech bubble-like shape, the buildings were "melted" into the globe, and the marquee was removed in favor of the enlarged text in a different font. Most notably, the transmitter was removed from the middle building, which was said to "communicate the 1950s broadcast era" by network managememt.

'''Note:''' From 2004 onwards, most Comedy Central originals stopped using a logo altogether in favor of in-credit text reading "This has been a presentation of Comedy Central" and a copyright stamp.

'''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.

'''Availability:''' Rare. It used to be seen on syndicated reruns of ''South Park'', among other Comedy Central shows such as ''The Sarah Silverman Program'', but it has been deleted on most syndication prints now. Last seen in the US when Comedy Central would air syndicated ''South Park'' episodes during the daytime during the mid-2010's. It is still used in the UK.

'''Availability''': Extinct. Currently only known for being used mostly for some syndicated season 7 prints of ''South Park'' episodes when aired on WGN and Comedy Central in the late 2000's into the mid-2010's.

'''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.
