1st Logo (October 21, 2000-May 24, 2004)

Variant: Sometimes, the striped background is dark blue and the company name is green.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A whoosh sound as "Broken Hearted" by Bill Mason and Bobby Goldstein (the theme song of Cheaters) plays. Sometimes, a whoosh sound is absent.

2nd Logo (September 27, 2004-May 16, 2005)

3rd Logo (September 26, 2005-May 22, 2006)

Visuals: In the sepia-toned street setting, a black bar is seen as the company name from before zooms up and tilts down in gold, now in a serif font. Above it is a boy named Sunny, who is cleaning Bobby Goldstein's shoe. Sunny says "All done, sir.", but when Goldstein leaving his newspaper and takes a coin to him, he says "Mmmmm. Thank you, Sunny.". Sunny declares to Goldstein and says "Thank you, Mr. G.".

Technique: Same as before, but the text tilts down here.

5th Logo (September 24, 2007-May 17, 2021)

Above it is Bobby Goldstein wearing sunglasses and a dollar-sign-shaped necklace among other things, holding a comically oversized cigar in an office with many things on his desk, such as a Magic-8 Ball in red, a Styrofoam cup, and a desk portrait of a random guy in an afro. Goldstein then says "Now remember, if you don't get your programming from Goldstein's...why, we'll both lose money!" as he stands up as the camera zooms up on his face.

Audio Variant: On a 2018 episode of Cheaters, his dialogue is muted for some reason.
