G4 (first era) 2002–2004 G4TechTV 2004–2005 G4 (second era) 2005–2014 First used by the US flagship channel in 2005/06, now used for G4 Canada, but w/o text below the "G4" logotype.
With the change from a all gaming network to more of a focus on male-oriented topics, the slogan "Videogame TV' was replaced with the web address (2006–07).
Version used when G4 was rebranded as 4G for seven days in 2010 to promote
Sprint 's 4G network rollout.
G4 logo rendered in 3-D for promotional advertising (2012-2014)
In late 2012, G4's studio programming was ceased in preparation for its re-launch as the Esquire Network on September 23, 2013, as part of a licensing deal with Hearst Corporation , owner of Esquire "as is for the foreseeable future, though it's highly unlikely the company will invest in more original programming" .
With G4 slowly winding down operations, syndication rights to shows such as Cops Heroes Lost
G4 shut down all operations on December 31, 2014, after a marathon of the Top 100 Video Games of All Time special, plus the very first episode of X-Play, ending on a game of Pong (referencing the channel's launch) that zoomed out further and further until Kevin Pereira yelled "I'm at Comic-Con!", referencing the fact that the San Diego Comic-Con is often described as "nerd heaven", signing off for good with the Game Boy boot-up sound.
In September 2017, the Canadian version of G4 was also shut down.
