The transmitter on the top of the logo "activates" and then many 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. | ||

* On later seasons of ''South Park'', this logo starts with the finished product on numerous episodes, bypassing the circles. A copyright stamp for Comedy Partners is included. A few episodes keep the animation as usual, but still have the copyright notice plastered over all the animation.

* 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. | * Current reruns of ''South Park'' keep this logo intact; however, it's part of the split screen credits.
