On October 11, 1999, the Sarimanok News Network changed its name to ABS-CBN News Channel. It's first logo upon rebranding consisted of the horizontal version of the ABS-CBN logo, the "NewsChannel" text, and a new symbol consisting of three arc waves colored in ABS-CBN's famous three colors: red, green, and blue. In the alternate logo, the symbol is used as the letter C.

2000–2001[]
As ABS-CBN gave its logo an overhaul in 2000, the logo design was changed to include the A of the newly-launched ABS-CBN logo's text, an N, and the maintained "three RGB arcs" symbol of the previous logo acting as the C, in a similar way to the previous logo. In 2001, they added "The" to the logo, while the full name was current on below.
2001–2005[]
2001–2003[]
In 2001, ANC changed its logo design to its now-iconic rhombus logo. It kept the ABS-CBN-style A letter and the N of the previous logo, now separated from each other, and replaced the three-arc symbol with a new C design. The three rhombuses were also colored in red, green, and blue.
2003–2005[]
The logo was modified in 2003, changing the color to light blue.
2005–2015[]
2005–2006[]
The logo was modified significantly in 2005, changing the old ANC text (including the ABS-CBN-style A) to a new ANC text in the Arial font, colored in yellow. The logo might resemble the BBC logo from 1960s.
2006–2015[]
The longest-lived logo of the channel, the design was more simplified in this logo, with the ANC text colored in white.
On October 26, 2015, ANC revamped its logo and on-screen graphics package, which now utilizes the logo's new colors, red and turquoise. Interestingly, the new logo bears some references to the history of ANC and ABS-CBN: The "N" and "C" from the logos from 2001 to 2005 finally made a return of sorts to the logo after ten years, and the "A" slightly resembles the "A" letter on the ABS-CBN logo used from 1996-2000, albeit without serifs and with a red triangle on it. This was apparently to give a "past meets present meets future" vibe to the logo, as the rebrand was mostly meant for ANC's 20th anniversary, in 2016.
With the rebrand, ANC also used a new slogan: "Your Partner, Your News Channel."
