The Seven Network is a major Australian commercial free-to-air television network. It is owned by Seven West Media, and is one of five main free-to-air television networks in Australia.
Australian Television Network (first era)
1963–1969
In 1963, ATN-7 Sydney and HSV-7 Melbourne came together to form the Australian Television Network. They would soon be joined by BTQ-7 Brisbane and ADS-7 Adelaide.
Seven Network (first era)
1969–1976
The network's first logo produced and used across the metropolitan stations (sans Seven Perth) on 5 October 1969, featured the numeral seven inside a ring. BTQ-7 Brisbane would continue to use this logo until July 1976.
1975–1989
Colour television was introduced across the network on 1 March 1975, along with a new Circle 7 logo incorporating a bright ring of the colours of the visual light spectrum. This logo was later adopted by BTQ-7 Brisbane in July 1976, by TVW-7 Perth in October 1977, and by SAS-7 Adelaide on 27 December 1987 after it switched ownerships with ADS-10.
Australian Television Network (second era)
In 1987, the network attempted to revert to its original name through a complete rebrand; however, the Seven Network name was ultimately kept and became the official name of the network with the Australian Television Network name being used in a secondary form. The name appeared at the end of some programmes between 1987 and 1991.
1987–1989
1989–1991
Seven Network (second era)
1989–1999
On 23 January 1989, the recently renamed Seven Network introduced a new red logo with the circle modified to incorporate the numeral. This was based on ABC's television station WMAL-TV (later to become WJLA-TV) between 1975 and 2001. The new logo was rolled out along with evening soap Home and Away and a relaunched Seven Nightly News (later to become Seven News).
2000–present
2000–2003
On 1 January 2000, Seven removed its ring and the ribbon logo was launched to coincide with the new millennium celebration and the 2000 Summer Olympics held in Sydney. The ribbon logo was used in five colour variants: red, orange, yellow, green and blue, to symbolise passion, involving, fun, life and energy respectively.
2003–present
On 14 September 2003, the ribbon logo was simplified as it effectively became simply two angled trapezoids. The logo's gradient, shadows and colour-coded usages from the previous logo were removed, becoming solid red and this logo has been used for over 15 years. This logo was also launched on 1 January 2000 as an on-screen bug and as a print logo.
