Comedy Central

Chanukah (December 2002)

Visuals: On a light blue background, the Comedy Central logo of the time is shown in red and orange. Light blue rings appear from behind the logo, which then breaks up to reveal an orange dreidel with a blue Comedy Central logo spinning around, with rings in both light and dark blue appearing from the point the end of the dreidel touches. The dreidel then slides up to reveal an overhead shot of two dreidels of the same type spinning on a faded Comedy Central logo, except one of them is colored orange (but still sports the blue logo), with rings in their respective colors appearing from under them. The dreidels then slide away as one of the rings brings in a transition to another shot of the dreidels spinning on the logo. The orange dreidel slides to the left to reveal another overheard shot of the same two dreidels spinning, now joined by two other dreidels of the same type. The camera then zooms out and the dreidels move to the center of the screen and fade out, and a Hebrew-language version of the Comedy Central logo in red and orange, complete with the logo being flipped to the right, spins in. "happy chanukah" appears below the logo letter-by-letter, and light blue rings appear from the logo. Finally, the logo spins around before stopping to reveal the normal English version of the logo from the beginning.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A group of men saying "Hey, hey, hey, hey!", followed by a fast-paced electric guitar tune with drums.

Green (2005-2007)

Visuals: On a lime green background, there is an extreme close-up of a white grunge-like Comedy Central logo with the holes in the letters "O", "R" and "A" filled in, skewed to the right and flashing a bit. It then suddenly cuts to a far view of the logo next to a green, white, and blue cloud, which slides in.

Trivia: This ID was repurposed for a logo for Comedy Central Productions that was used on syndicated reruns of Comedy Central shows such as South Park and The Sarah Silverman Program at the time.

Technique: CGI. The logo is designed by INTERspectacular.

Audio: A rough guitar tune, composed by ISjingles.

Availability: No longer in use.
