'''Visuals:''' Over a shaded {{color|darkorange|orange}} background, the logo starts with 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.

'''Audio:''' 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. It's possible that these were composed by Musikvergnuegen like the bumpers at the time, though nothing is confirmed.

'''Audio Variant:''' Sometimes, if the logo is plastering older Comedy Central logos, the original logo's audio will still be heard.

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|red}} background is 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.
