Background

Univision was formed in 1962 as the Spanish International Network by Mexican entertainment mogul Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurretta (which owned Telesistema Mexicano (TSM), which later merged with Televisión Indepediente de México (TIM) in 1972 to form Televisa). In 1987, SIN and its parent company SICC (Spanish International Communications Corporation) were sold to Hallmark Cards and Televisa and was renamed to its current name. In 1992, Univision was sold to a group led by Los Angeles-based investor A. Jerrold Pennichio, Emilio Azcárraga Milmo and brothers Ricardo and Gustavo Cisneros (owners of Venezuelan television network Venevisión). In 2006, the Univision group was sold to a consortium led by Saban Capital Group, TPG Capital, Providence Equity Partners among others. In 2020, the company was sold to firms ForgeLight and Searchlight Capital with Televisa retaining its 36% stake. In 2021, Televisa announced that it would sell its content assets to Univision and the transaction was completed a year later with the company being known as TelevisaUnivision. Televisa retained their broadcasting and telecommunications assets while their journalism assets were later sold to Tritón Comunicaciones.

1st Logo (1987-1989)

Visuals: On a dark purple sky, several transparent pieces appear forming a modified version of the Televisa logo that looks like a "U". More shapes with the form of the "U" appear revolving in the the original "U", changing its color to blue. The word "UNIVISION" in gold appear zooming out, to the lower part of the "U".

Variants: Unknown

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synthesized majestic tune.

2nd Logo (1989)

Visuals: On a blue space with several galaxies and stars, several golden letters appear flipping, forming the word "UNIVISION" ("UNIV" is a bit facing the to the left and "SION" facing to the right).

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A majestic tube with a female choir singing "Univision... Univision... Lo nuestro!".

3rd Logo (1990-1992)

Visuals: On a grey background with many dots, 4 shapes (one blue curve, other red curve, other green square, and finally a purple curve) falls in it, forming an abstract "U". While the background is fading to black, the word "UNIVISION" can be seen above the "U", becoming white.

Trivia: This logo was used from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2012, and as screen bug until August 10, 2014.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A 4-note synth theme.
