DirecTV

1985-1990


DirecTV was created in 1985 as Hughes Electronics.

1990-2005


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.

2005–2008


In 2005, 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
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.

2015-2016


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

2016-present
On December 3, 2015, the logo was updated by placing the newly-updated and inverted AT&T globe logo next to the DirecTV wordmark. The new logo debuted on January 1, 2016, just a few months after AT&T first purchased DirectTV.
