In 1968 the Aktuelle Kamera removed the "the" from their title, so it was just called "Aktuelle Kamera". This logo was first created in 1968 but wasn't used until 1969. However, the most iconic logo was created in 1970, but this one was still used until 1973.

Running up to the German reunification, Aktuelle Kamera was rebranded. The main edition became AK am Abend, and the edition of DFF-2 became AK Zwo The rest of editions were called AK Nachrichten.

When the first East German television channel was replaced by Das Erste in December 1990, the old television broadcaster of the GDR continued on the old second channel for slightly more than a year. The name "Aktuelle Kamera" was retired, and newscasts were from thereon called Aktuell.
Deutscher Fernsehfunk ended on December 31, 1991, as did the newscast.
