1980–1994 Bravo first launched as a commercial-free 24-hour premium channel devoted to films and arts programming on December 1, 1980, owned by Rainbow Media (at the time, a division of Cablevision , until it was spun off into AMC Networks in 2011).
1994–2005 In 1994, Bravo introduced a new Compacta typeface logo, and the new slogan "The Film And Arts Network". Around this time, Bravo (by that point, now a basic cable channel) began adding PBS-style underwriter sponsorships, before becoming an advertiser-supported channel in 1998. In 2002, Bravo was acquired by NBCUniversal .
2005–2017 In January 2005, Bravo was rebranded with a new logo and a slightly rearranged Compacta font, and the tagline "Watch What Happens", reflecting its shift towards pop culture and reality programming and to compete with Travel Channel , TruTV , E! , and Food Network .
2017–present On February 6, 2017, Bravo refreshed their logo with a more contemporary speech bubble and font, with the case in the letter "B" changed from uppercase to lowercase. The change coincided a day later with the premiere of the new drama series Imposters
