1st Logo (January 24, 2008)

Nicknames: "Microphone O", "The Comedy Club Logo"

Logo: On the black background with moving transparent red stripes, the letter of "COMEDY" flies to the center syllable-by-syllable in the following order: The letter C flies in from the left and O styled like a ribbon microphone flies in from the bottom, letters M and E fly in from the top and the right, respectively, and finally D and Y flying in from the bottom and the right, also respectively; then the rounded rectangle around it is being drawn in, while "CLUB" is being slid out from the right to the top of the Y of "COMEDY", then red circles shoot out from the O, causing to fill the rectangle with red and the background to gain slowly-moving pulsating red/reddish-white/white squares on the top half and completely dark red on the bottom half. The glossy shine on the Comedy Club logo wipes in from the left, then the logo slowly zooms in.

Shorter description: A black screen colorizes with red. Then, word COMEDY (O looks like microphone) appears. It then is bordered by a rectangle, with word CLUB in it. Background then fills with some red squares and the marquee stylizes and slowly zooms in.

FX/SFX: The logo and the background forming.

2nd Logo (2008-2014)

Nicknames: "Microphone O II", "Disco Lights", "Neon Letters"

Logo: A sudden flash of the red light appears in the center of the black background; but when it dies down a little, it is now a red light streak leaving gold-colored trails in the helix-like fashion, flying towards the viewer, barely missing and we pan to the left, then we cut to the dark red stage with the crowd cheering and the darkened diamond-cut sign, which is "COMEDY" from the Comedy Club logo, supported by a truss with stage lights, we pan up slowly and fade to the bird's eye view of the stage, as we pan across the stage as the streak flies into the microphone O and we cut the close-up of the microphone O, which is about to get hit by a light streak, which sends out a multitude of different circle designs and causing the microphone O to glow intensively in the yellowish-white light, then we cut the view of the sign from below as we pan across it, while the letters, except the O, lights up like a neon sign one-by-one (a la Picturehouse Films) and fireworks being launched, then we cut to the pan out of the last three letters being lit up. When the letters are almost lit up, the logo, consisting of the same microhpone O with the stacked words "COMEDY CLUB PRODUCTION" in the geometrical sans-serif font, all made out of diamond, zooms out against the crystallic red background from the hole of the microphone O, which causes a yellow flash of light which will erase the scene inside it, as the rounded rectangle being drawn around the logo in the counter-clockwise way, and when the drawing is done, a green/yellow/red sparkles quickly wipes over the logo from the top-right to the bottom-left, making the logo white and two-dimensional, then the background fades to black as the rounded rectangle gains the red color.

FX/SFX: A mix of the CGI, live-action and 2D animation.

Music/Sounds:

Long version: A fireworks-like explosion followed by a whoosh when the streak appears, the crowd cheering, another whoosh and another fireworks-like explosion when the streak hits the center of the microphone O, several whooshes and clicks when the letters light up, a deep whoosh when we zoom out from the microphone O and a reversed zooming ding when the rectangle is being drawn.

A continuation of the Nasha Russia: Eggs of Fate variant of the TNT logo.

Short version: The shortened version of the Comedy Club theme song.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on Comedy Club (season 6-7) and many other shows. Long version seen on Best Movie 2 and Nasha Russia: Eggs of Fate.
