''' | '''Visuals:''' The Comedy Central logo (a {{color|darkviolet|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 twice. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a black background, we see the 1992 Comedy Central globe (now tilted to its side and having the text in white and in a different font) in {{color|blue}}-black emitting a {{color|blue}} circle that stretches and moves around, with crude drawings of buildings (similar to the ones on the globe) moving around below and a giant moon on the left showing a reverse version of the globe spinning rapidly. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' It begins with a shot of a credit card being inserted into what is presumably an ATM. It then switches to a shot of an ATM screen, with text in {{color|limegreen|green}} being displayed from top to bottom in a computer-type font. The text reads "{{color|limegreen|{{Font|Courier|'''THIS HAS BEEN A PRESENTATION OF:'''}}}}", followed by the Comedy Central logo in {{color|limegreen|green}}, and "{{color|limegreen|{{Font|Courier|'''THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE'''}}}}" under the logo. The last line "blinks" a few times, becoming highlighted in {{color|limegreen|green}} with the text in black. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' 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. | '''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. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' 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: | ||
* {{color|Silver}} background with {{color|red}} and {{color|silver}} bubbles | * {{color|Silver}} background with {{color|red}} and {{color|silver}} bubbles | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' 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. | '''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.

''' | '''Visuals:''' 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 centre with "'''this has been a presentation of'''" above, and "'''comedycentral.com'''" below. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a {{color|red}} background, we see a close-up of the Comedy Central logo, which zooms out as the camera cuts to the text "'''THIS HAS BEEN'''" and "{{color|lightskyblue|'''A PRESENTATION OF'''}}" sliding next to what looks like melting graffiti. "'''THIS HAS BEEN'''" flickers, and the screen then cuts to another close-up of the Comedy Central logo as the text slides in at an angle, and the white parts of the logo briefly flash to black. The text flickers again and we see the logo appear in white once again. Everything flickers, as the logo changes its position and flickers between black and white. This all continues until it cuts to black. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a {{color|skyblue|blue sky}} background, a large scribble that takes up most of the screen quickly transforms into a grungy looking black and white version of the 2000 Comedy Central logo, similar to that of the previous logo. On top of the logo is a crude drawing of a white bird. Throughout the logo's screen time, there's multiple shots of the logo "flickering" and the scribble appearing around the logo while the bird "looks" around. The word "PRODUCTIONS" in the same font as before appears below the logo and "flickers" itself in various sizes, while a copyright notice with the year is right next to it in the same font. | ||

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

''' | '''Visuals:''' 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. | ||
