2nd Logo (July 17, 2002-June 20, 2004)
Visuals: On a tannish yellow background, there is a periwinkle bar slide in to the left, with the text "Impact", in the same font as before, cut out in it. The text "ORIGINAL PRODUCTION" appears letter-by-letter next to it, and a copyright stamp fades underneath it.

4th Logo (January 12, 2005-June 11, 2009)
Visuals: On a white background, there is a carousel of multicolored speech-bubble shapes. The shapes spin around from left to right a la flipping Post-It notes, gradually spinning drastically faster. When the last shape flips to the right, it reveals itself to be a black-colored speech-bubble with the text "Bravo" in it, in the same font as the 1994 logo. The text "A Bravo Original Production" appears to the right. Later on in 2005, a copyright stamp was added below.

It might be preserved on DVDs of Queer Eye, seasons 4 and 5 of said show on Amazon Instant Video, and episodes of Hey Paula, Welcome to the Parker and Date My Ex: Jo and Slade on iTunes. It is preserved on Hulu prints of the aforementioned shows.

5th Logo (May 4, 2009-March 2, 2017)
Visuals: On a light blue background with a faint white light in the middle, we see various shapes, each built from speech bubbles (i.e. Bravo's logo), move forward. The Bravo logo of the era is already present with "by" next to it. As the shapes move, there are five words, "creative", "fun", "inside", "future", and "original" moving forward. The last word stops right near the logo as a copyright notice fades in below.

Technique: CGI by Gretel.

Audio: A four-note electric guitar theme with one beat of a drum and a cymbal crash, sounding like the ending of a rock song.

6th Logo (January 10, 2017-)
Visuals: On a sky blue background, there is the black text "Original" appear letter by letter. A purple-colored simplified version of Bravo's speech-bubble logo (this one using a flatter design) slides in from the left and "Series" appears when it passes. The background also turns at this point. The screen slides up, leaving a white background. The network's current logo ("bravo" with all letters in lower-case within the simplified speech bubble) slides up and fills in, along with the aforementioned text and copyright information appearing on the right and bottom, respectively.
