Nine Network - Logos

Logos

The Nine Network first used a shared logo produced and used across the metropolitan stations in 1965, featuring the numeral nine beside nine dots. The first set of identities was a "Dots TV" set. This logo has remained in use on the network, in differing forms across the decades, with various exceptions. In 1977, the nine dots were removed from the logo, but only for on-air idents. This lasted 11 years until 1988, when Bond Media purchased the network and reinstated the nine dots, with STW Perth becoming a Nine Network owned-and-operated station. In 1998, the dots were changed to spheres. The spheres returned to dots as a new on-air ident package was created by Velvet mediendesign in 2001. Three-dimensions were added to the numeral nine in 2002, coinciding with a revamp of the network's on-air identity.

In 2006, the network and its affiliates relaunched their logos to coincide with Nine's 50th anniversary and the chance to revitalize the network. The logo uses a 2D blue cube with the 9 inside it, which saw the removal of the nine dots. Later in 2007, the cube became a solid 3D box, and partially relaunched the nine dots, which is visible in every second surface of the box.

As a part of a major relaunch, Nine Network reinstated the nine-dots logo in 2008. The dots were represented as 3D discs in 2008, then 2D dots in July 2009, then later spheres in September 2009.

In April 2012, Nine Network's identity changed, applying the logo in different colors such as red, green, purple and more.
