'''Logo:''' On a background with wavy {{color|blue}} and {{color|grey}} 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.

'''Trivia:''' Comedy Central's logo was slightly redesigned during this period by the design firm Attik, gaining a smoother look; most notably, the small hyphen from the "'''COMEDY CENTRAL'''" marquee was removed and the buildings are now clearly on the United States, with South America placed further down on the globe.

'''Logo:''' Over a shaded {{color|darkorange|orange}} background, we see lots of {{color|gold|yellow}} circles zooming in towards 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 management.

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.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|deepskyblue|robin's egg blue}} background, the camera zooms into the upper right corner of the new Comedy Central logo, which features a black letter "'''C'''" inside a bigger reverse black "'''C'''", revealing the text "'''COMEDY CENTRAL'''" in a white angular font, with the new logo in the upper right corner of the text. We zoom into the new logo, revealing the "'''COMEDY CENTRAL'''" text, but with the word "'''CENTRAL'''" is mirrored. The new Comedy Central logo squeezes into the middle of the text.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|dimgray|dark grey}} 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}} colour similar to the background of the previous logo. A copyright stamp appears below.
