1st Logo (September 4, 2001-January 22, 2010)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a silver 3D disc with "Conaco" (in a font similar to the Conoco gas station logo, which might be intentional) engraved on it, rotating from left to right.

Variant: On Lost and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the logo is part of the show's split-screen credits, which appear at the right side of the screen.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The ending theme of the show or none.

Availability: Previously seen on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and the short-lived reality series Lost. It is preserved on Andy Barker, P.I., which can be seen on Hulu or purchased on DVD. Might also be preserved on the DVD of Conan's 10th Anniversary Special.

2nd Logo (September 15, 2010-June 24, 2021)

Visuals: Against a black background, there is a mess of orange letters in a bold font (the same one used on Conan from 2010-2018) which quickly unscramble to the left and right to form the text "CONACO".

Variants:

  • Sometimes, a copyright notice appears below the logo.
  • A still version exists.
  • A blue version exists, on The Paul Holmes Show.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

3rd Logo (April 18, 2024-)

Visuals: Set on a dark purple-red gradient black background, the glowing, tall text "CONACO" is shown shortening and then slightly stretching while leaving a rainbow trail that follows and merges behind the main text. In the end, the text is white with a green glow. Copyright information fades in on the bottom after said animation.

Technique: Flash animation.

Audio: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: The logo is seen on Conan O'Brien Must Go.
