DirecTV

1985-1990
DirecTV was created in 1985 as Hughes Electronics.

1990-2004


In 1990, Hughes Electronics was renamed as DirecTV. This logo still appears at the headquarters of the company in El Segundo, CA. Since then this logo has gone through several changes.

2004–2011


In 2004, the "D" symbol became rounded and was colored different shades of blue, and the "DirecTV" wordmark's font was changed. This is still used on some remotes.

2008–2011
In 2008, the logo was given a 3D effect. However, it will not fully debut until 2010.

2011–2015 (USA only)
In 2011, the logo became more three-dimensional, and the "DirecTV" wordmark's typeface was changed again. Also, the "D" symbol's width has increased. This logo continues to be used alongside the next one. The company's current slogan is "Don't just watch TV. DirecTV." As of 2015 this logo is being used as a secondary logo.

2015–present (USA only)
In 2015, due to AT&T merging with DirecTV, DirecTV's logo was changed by removing the "D" symbol, leaving only the text "DirecTV".
