For two decades, starting in 1987, the channel's logo incorporated the Discovery wordmark rendered in the Aurora Bold Condensed font with a circular shape in front of it. The circle usually took the form of a rising sun, or an animated version of the <a href="/wiki/Vitruvian_Man" title="Vitruvian Man">Vitruvian Man</a>. Discovery Channel's previous <a href="/wiki/Slogan" title="Slogan">slogans</a> had been "Explore Your World" and "There's No Thrill Like Discovery."

A globe became a permanent part of the logo, and an underline was added to the bottom of the logo On March 31, 2008, Discovery unveiled a new logo, which took effect on-air on April 15, 2008 (coinciding with the fourth season premiere of Deadliest Catch). The new logo was designed by Viewpoint Creative, and integrated Discovery's long-time globe iconography into the "D" lettering of the wordmark, creating a <a href="/wiki/Monogram" title="Monogram">monogram</a> that was usable as a standalone icon. The launch was accompanied by a new advertising campaign, "The World is Just Awesome", which featured scenes of Discovery personalities singing an adapted version of the song "I Love the Mountains". Discovery Channel president John Ford explained that the campaign was intended to "showcase our earned place in the greater pop culture landscape".<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> In August 2013 (coinciding with Shark Week), the aforementioned monogram became the main on-air logo as part of a new imaging campaign, "Grab Life By the Globe", which was designed to emphasize the channel's current focus on personality-driven programming. The logo was portrayed in promos with visual effects relevant to their respective program.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> On April 1, 2019, Discovery unveiled a new logo, maintaining a refreshed version of the previous globe and D monogram.
