1st Logo (June 30, 1999)


Logo: Just the 1997 Comedy Central logo in  and  on a black background.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the movie.

Availability: Seen only at the end of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.

2nd Logo (February 23, 2007-April 20, 2010)
Logo: Two versions exist:
 * Reno 911! Miami: On a pale yellow metal wall background with a white starburst, a black-outlined version of the 2000 Comedy Central logo rams into the screen. It partially spins around, grows a banner behind, and then zooms back. Ink splats, stars and clouds are seen. The logo vibrates very slowly, and zooms in and out to the rhythm of the music.
 * The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!: On a background, we first see a yellow silhouette of the Comedy Central logo. Then, we see the words "COMEDY CENTRAL" with a yellow trail behind it, zooming out.  Everything then zooms out, and then we see the Comedy Central logo, in black, with black wings behind it. "COMEDY CENTRAL", in yellow, is seen. The camera constantly turns around throughout the logo.

Technique: 2D animation by INTERspectacular.

Music/Sounds: A DJ Shadow-esque hip hop beat (the drums are sampled from "Get Out of My Life, Woman" by Lee Dorsey for the Reno 911! variant).

Availability: Seen on Reno 911!: Miami and The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!. The variant used for the latter film can also be seen at the start of some digital prints of Comedy Central shows around the time.

3rd Logo (December 9, 2010)


Logo: On a black background, we see the 2000 Comedy Central logo in. It slowly pans around, shines and fades out.

Trivia: This logo is based on the "Enjoy Daily" branding from the international version of Comedy Central that ever used between 2010 and 2011.
