The top of the screen then flips down to show a background with the word "YeSTERDAY", presented in a style opposite in time to the footage shown before. The screen then flips again to a lime green-white background with "YeSTERDAY" in the center, with the channel slogan "where the past is always present" below.

Technique: Live-action, followed by 2D computer animation. These idents were designed by Red Bee Media.

  • Flame: We see fire and burn marks on the "Y".
  • Forest: There is autumn leaves falling around the "Y".
  • Mystery: There is a blue flashlight over the "Y".
  • On a variant released in 2016, the words "COMEDY ZONE" appear under "YESTERDAY".
