Comedy Central started using a new logo on October 30, 2000. This was the first major redesign for the network and removed the transmitter from the channel logo. The transmitter was said to "communicate the 1950s broadcast era" by network management. A new graphics package was developed by Imaginary Forces.

On December 9, 2010, a completely new logo for Comedy Central was revealed in New York. The new logo will launch in January 2011. The new logo centers on two Cs, one which is inside the other which is upside down. New York design company The Lab was the design agency which worked with Comedy Central for the new look.

A new style for graphics and promos had slowly been introduced starting a few months earlier and features straight typography on clean backgrounds.
