This logo would eventually be dropped due to complaints from ABC that the "Circle 7" logo was too similar to those used for its owned-and-operated stations; all of which were on VHF channel 7 at the time.

The logo design looks similar to KHON-TV's "2" logo from 1977 to 1994. This was the last logo used by WNAC-TV; the FCC revoked the station's license due to misconduct by the station's owner, RKO General, and went off the air at 1:00 AM on May 22, 1982.

Channel 7 was relaunched under a new license and ownership as WNEV-TV at 5:55 AM on May 22, 1982. The call letters originally stood for New England Vision, and was owned-and-operated by New England Television (ran by grocery magnate David Mugar). Here, this logo is also known as "SE7EN".

WHDH (-TV)

1990–1993

The 1987 logo was carried over when WNEV changed its call letters to the current WHDH on March 12, 1990, when New England Television acquired WHDH-AM on August 7, 1989.

1993–present

Mugar sold WHDH to Ed Ansin's Sunbeam Television (whom Ansin was a Worcester native) on April 22, 1993. As a result, it adopted a circled 7 again, this time borrowed from now-sister station WSVN in Miami–Fort Lauderdale, and has been used by the station ever since, surviving two network affiliation changes.

1993–1997

1997–present

1997–2016

On January 2, 1995, WHDH became an NBC affiliate, after CBS programming moved to WBZ-TV following Westinghouse Broadcasting's affiliation deal with the network. On January 1, 2017, WHDH went independent with the NBC programming moved to WBTS-LD.
