SBT (abbreviated from Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão) is a Brazilian television network owned by Grupo Silvio Santos. It was formed in 1981 with three former-Rede Tupi stations (Channel 4 from São Paulo and Channel 5 from Porto Alegre and from Belém), TVS Channel 11 and TV Continental Channel 9 from Rio de Janeiro, TV Alterosa from Minas Gerais, and other 8 affiliated stations.

In 1995, SBT removed the colors for a black logo with white gradients. It looks like ABC (United States)’s logo.

In 1996, SBT, in celebration of its 15th year, reinstated the colors, but this time, in the form of solid gradient colors. The main logo consisted of only red, green, and blue as its colors, but on station idents, the amount of colors are increased from three to six with the addition of three more colors, orange, yellow, and purple. It was also launched alongside a special animation in which the colors were rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, which lasted until 2004. One of the variations of this logo contained dots generated by light, resembling a disco ball.

Animated logo spin colors

1996–2001

On-air logo - with a color scheme slightly different from the main logo - used in all the idents from that period.

2001–2004

For its 20th year anniversary, the logo lost the flat-disc-like appearance from the previous one, giving place to a more concave and chromed form.

2004–2014

This logo shares the same traits as the previous logo but lacks the distinct animation the previous logo was known for.

2012–2014

In 2012, the logo gains small but noticiable effects, such as the text begin clearer and the circle now more spheric.

2014–present

This logo marks one of the biggest revamps on SBT's logo in its history, dropping all 3D effects in favor of a minimalist, 2D, and flat logo, but keeping the colors of the previous logo. (Four months ago, its rival Rede Globo also launched a new logo, in an effort to release a streamlined look that approaches minimalist 2D design). In an awkward fashion, the logo resembles or is inspired by the icon of the Photos app of iOS from iOS 7 onwards.

The new version of the SBT logo became effective on August 17th, 2014, at 11:30am BRT.
