In 1984, Inravisión changed its logo, with its channels adopting the same one, albeit with the company's name being changed to the channel's name (in this case, Cadena 1).

In 1987, all of Inravisión's channels adopted a new logo consisting of a shape behind the channel number. In the case for Cadena 1, it was a blue triangle behind a yellow number.

In 1992 due to the new programming of the semipublic channels, Cadena 1 became known as Cadena Uno (with the number as a word instead of a digit). The logo included an adaptable slogan, having different text depending on the context: below, are Uno tiene su corazoncito and Uno tiene opinión.

In 1995, the logo was changed again. The Uno became capitalized and in a Sans-serif font. Borders would also appear in red, yellow and blue. A orange ball occupies the hole in the "O". Just like with the previous logo, the slogan could be adapted to have different variants depending on the context, with the base one being Lo mejor es de Uno.

On New Year's Day 1998, Cadena Uno became known as Canal Uno with a new logo design and new graphics. The sans-serif letters were completely changed to a circle with a 1 cut of it. The 1 had a line to the right of it. Below, it had the text Canal Uno. Sometimes, the cut parts would have a white background, while other times it was completely transparent.

The number 1 is now over a red circle, with another circle making orbit. Above, the text "Canal" in curved shape. In 2011, the orbit was removed and the text Canal is placed to the left without distortions.

In 2017, a new logo was introduced as part of the channel's new direction to become yet another alternative to the private channels. The new logo was a rounded triangle pointing to the top-left. The 1 was cut in the bottom-right side. The triangle had various colors, which were (clockwise, from the bottom): yellow, orange, red and purple.
