RTL 4 is the flagship channel of RTL Nederland, the largest commercial TV broadcaster in the Netherlands and a subsidiary of the RTL Group. It was founded in 1989 as RTL Veronique in before adopting its current name in 1990. It has a generalist approach compared to the youth-oriented RTL 5, the male-oriented RTL 7 and the female-oriented RTL 8.

As the most popular Dutch commercial TV channel, RTL 4 primarily competes with Talpa Network’s flagship channel, SBS 6, and the primary public channel, NPO 1.

These logos lasted until 2012–2013.

Typography:  FF Sero
Launched:  August 26, 2013

On August 26, 2013, RTL 4 underwent a rebranding, introducing its next logo, and its accompanying set of graphics, designed by Fin Design, an Amsterdam-based design agency. The logo consists of a number 4 made of four segments that animate like blocks, similar to the British Channel 4. FF Sero is the channel's on–screen font.

RTL 2016 Black

The parent company RTL Nederland rebranded in 2016, adopting a new RTL wordmark that was first introduced by RTL Nieuws during its May 2014 rebrand. Accordingly, RTL 4 updated its logo to reflect the new wordmark. However, the 2013 graphics remain unchanged. All the other channels and properties of RTL Nederland (with the exception of the video-on-demand service RTL XL) had followed suit by mid-2017.
