In 1989, the channel started going by its acronym of BET; the logo is an expanded version of the above.
2000ā2005[]
In Fall 2000, the logo was altered slightly by straightening up the letters, making other alterations to them (such as reducing the spaces within the letters and redrawing the "T" significantly to account for its re-adjustment) and filling out the star.
