Background

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

Visuals: On a black background 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-)

Visuals: Against a black background 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.

Audio: The closing theme of the show or none.
