W2XVT

1938–1940 (experimental license)

In 1938, WNYW experimented with TV set and equipment manufacturer Allen B. DuMont as W2VXT with a 78-84 MHz frequency in Passaic, New Jersey.

W2XWV

1940–1944 (experimental license)

In 1940, the experimental TV station moved the transmitter location to Manhattan, New York as W2XWV.

WABD

1944–1948

W2XWV signed on the air on May 2, 1944, 34 months after both WNBT and WCBW began transmitting almost at the same time. The third TV station in New York City and fifth in the United States, also changed the call letters to WABD as a tribute with DuMont Television Network which was owned and operated at the time.

Logo shared with then-sister station WTTG.

WNEW-TV

1958–1961

In April 1957, DuMont bought WNEW (as well as then-sister TV station, WTTG to share with upcoming logos). Then in May 1958, DuMont Broadcasting changed the name to Metropolitan Broadcasting (later Metromedia), and in August of the same year, WNEW-FM began transmitting with a FCC authorization. Thus, the New York's Channel 5 changed the call letters to WNEW-TV to match its both AM and FM radio stations.

WNEW-TV became WNYW on March 7; Fox itself would launch on October 9. Like the 1977 logo, this was also used by WTTG until 1997.

1986–1987

1987–1992

During this period, WNYW embedded the "5" inside the middle of the 'O' in FOX and reintroduced the "5" that was used from 1977 to 1986 under the WNEW callsign and the "Metromedia New York 5" branding.

1997–2001

In the logo's final years, this logo template was also used for the network's affiliate station XETV in San Diego, California.

2001–2006

The 2006 logo was still in use on its website and on the stations microphones until 2021, despite its retirement the logo remains intact on the stations weather app.
