In 1996, the Discovery Kids channel launched, though until 2000, it was only available on select cable providers.

March 1997–1999

September 1997–2001

March 2001–2002

In March 2001, the Discovery Kids channel re-branded; it's updated logo was designed by The Diecks Group. An animated version of the secondary logo can be found at the end of episodes of Truth or Scare.

2002–2010

This logo's debut coincided with the start of Discovery Kids's stint as NBC's Saturday morning programming provider.

Since Discovery Kids's sister networks changed its logos with Gotham font takeover in 2008, this was the only Discovery network to remain the Aurora Bold Condensed font text until it became The Hub on October 10, 2010.

2009–2010 (alternate logo)

A secondary logo was used for a brief period from 2009-2010 before the rebranding to The Hub where the channel was simply referred to as "@DK" in promos as well as the on screen bug in the corner.

2010–present (website)

This logo is currently used online and on consumer product packaging.

2014-04-27 10.32 — Timer saying when Discovery Kids becomes The Hub

On April 30, 2009, Hasbro and Discovery Communications announced that they intended to launch a joint-venture kids television network which would use Discovery Kids' distribution network.

The brand for the new network was unveiled on January 14, 2010. According to a press release, the logo symbolizes "a catalyst of action and imagination" and is intended to represent the network's "thrilling, modern and dynamic" tone. The identity was created by Troika Design Group.

The Hub premiered on October 10, 2010.

Even though Discovery Kids no longer exists as a channel, it is still available as a website for children to learn about science.

Hub Network

2013-January 12, 2014

In May 2013, the word "Network" was added to the current logo, and the channel began calling itself "Hub Network" in promos and press releases.

January 13, 2014-October 13, 2014

A slight overhaul of the logo was launched on January 13, 2014, as part of its new on-air look with the slogan, "Making Family Fun". However this logo was shortlived because of the rebranding of the channel to Discovery Family.
