BETTER LOGO NEEDED

SVG NEEDED

1987–1995

The 1987 logo featured the familiar wordmark that would last until the 2008 rebrand.

Discovery Channel

1995–2000

On September 19, 1995, a new logo was introduced. "The" was removed from the channel's name and the semicircle was swapped for a globe. It also added the underline to the bottom of the logo. They also launched a new tagline, "Explore Your World". </gallery>

2000–2008

This altered logo has the word "Channel" moved into the underline. The globe icon was also changed, so that it focused on the Pacific Ocean instead of any continents (the Americas can be seen on its right and Australia on its left).

2008–2009

SVG NEEDED

2009–present

Discovery was rebranded again in February 2009 by Royale. They also altered the logo slightly by modifying the globe again, making the word "CHANNEL" bigger, and completely detaching the globe from the D.

2013–2016

In mid-2014, Discovery began de-emphasizing the 2009 logo in favor of using the D and globe symbol by itself on-air, with "Discovery" written underneath in print and social media. The network adopted the new tagline "Grab Life By The Globe".

2016–present

As part of a graphical refresh in July 2016, the D symbol and "Discovery" text is now encased inside a circle.
