1984-1985 (PKS)
In 1984, Sat. 1 was first called PKS (Programmgesellschaft für Kabel- und Satellitenrundfunk).

1985–1986 (Sat 1)
In 1985, PKS was renamed Sat 1, and its first logo consists of a color wheel with 12 stripes.

1986–2001 (SAT.1)


At this point, the logo has been totally changed. The wheel is now a ball and the name of the channel was introduced onto the logo.

2001–2004


Having used the same logo for almost all of its existence, Sat.1 adopted an altered logo along with a new on-air design on September 1, 2001. The ball did however remain, and is at the center of the graphics, created by Velvet mediendesign. The number of coloured stripes on the ball was reduced from twelve to nine, and the font of the text changed. The redesign came with a new slogan, "Powered by emotion".

2011–


On August 16, 2011, Sat.1 unveiled a refreshed logo (which returned the old rainbow colors of the ball, but still keeping the previous 3D look) developed by Creative Solutions, the in-house agency of Sat.1's owner, ProSiebenSat.1 Media. With this logo, the channel pretends to emphasize its slogan, "Colour your life!" and the versatility, diversity and modernity of its programming. The logo also pretends to transmit the message that Sat.1 is the channel for the whole family and for the emotions.
