1st Logo (1998-2000)

File:682396d2efc9f1185cdda18cfb68da8b.png

Logo: We see the 1997-2000 logo for Comedy Central on a black background.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Comedy Central VHS releases of the era, including South Park volumes on VHS.

2nd Logo (2003-2004)

File:Comedy Central Home Video Logo 2003.jpeg

Logo: We zoom into the 2000 Comedy Central logo with the text "HOME VIDEO", blue-yellow on a blue background, which spins to then form back together.

Technique: 2D CGI.

Music/Sounds: A short techno tune, followed by the last five notes, based off Comedy Central's signature jingle from 2000-2003.

Availability: Seen on a DVD release of season 1 of Chapelle's Show.

3rd Logo (2004-2006)

File:Comedy Central Home Video.png

Logo: On a blue smudged background, we zoom into a flicking CRT TV with the 2000 Comedy Central logo bulging out of it, after which the Comedy Central Home Video logo spins in and bounces back on the same background.

Technique: 2D CGI.

Music/Sounds: A groovy guitar and drum tune.

Availability: Seen on Comedy Central DVDs of the era.

4th Logo (2006-2009)

Logo: We see the white Comedy Central logo printed on a wooden fence. The logo shakes and explodes into a flock of stars, but then fades back to the wall with "DVD" below and surrounded by stars.

Technique: 2D CGI.

Music/Sounds: An exploding sound, followed by a short groove tune and a whinny.

Availability: Seen on the South Park director's cut DVD of "Imaginationland" among other home video releases, such as the region 4 DVD release of season 6 of South Park.

5th Logo (2009-2011)

Logo: The Comedy Central logo is seen with glass flying by on a black background. Suddenly, the logo zooms out, with more glass coming through it. Then a black tilted square zooms out with the text "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" forming on it. Some of the glass tiles tilt.

Variant: A DVD variant exists with different animation. On a black background, we zoom out to reveal a black circle. Then, multiple Comedy Central logos circling around the ring zoom out. Then another black circle with more Comedy Central logos zoom out. Some more logos and later many circles zoom out until we finally see one last logo. Multiple shots of it later appear with the logo in different directions. After that, we take a closeup of it as "DVD" slides in. The High Definition version also uses this variant, with "DVD" being replaced by "IN HIGH DEFINITION" sliding in word by word.

Technique: CGI. The variant is mostly 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: Mostly glass sounds, sometimes with an audience cheering at the end.

Music/Sounds Variants:

The DVD variant uses the same rough guitar tune from the 2005 Comedy Central syndication logo.
The High Definition variant uses a hip-hop version of the South Park end credits music.

Availability: Seen on Comedy Central's home media releases of the era, especially those in the Netherlands. The DVD and High Definition variants are seen on select DVD and Blu-ray releases.

6th Logo (2011-2019?)

Logo: Unknown.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A modified version of the Comedy Central music cue of the era.

Availability: Seen on post-2011 DVD releases of South Park, among other releases until 2019.
