Viasat is a Swedish satellite TV company that operate a suite of thematic channels dedicated to films and documentaries, available in the Nordic countries, Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and some African countries. Last month, it introduced new logos for many of these channels.
The affected channels are movie channels TV1000, TV1000 Action and TV1000 Russian Kino as well as documentary channels Viasat Explore, Viasat History, Viasat Nature and Viasat Crime. The new logos are designed be more versatile and to work in different environments.
The new logos were unveiled on April 22, and launched on April 29. No definitive creative credit available at the moment, but the creative direction appears to have been done at least partly in-house.
Full line-up of old and new logos below, and some idents further down. The previous logos were introduced during 2009 and 2010.
