Corporate logos

The first logo Universidad Católica de Chile Televisión 2TV was the simple name, often referring to his first in 1959. It consisted of two boxes, one with the number "2 " and below it one with the word "TV".
Since 1961, the change to the frequency signal 13 (which remains in analog to the present), and thereby change the logo, replacing the number "2"for an "13. "
Since 1968, the logo has a thin curve with a "T" to reach the "V " and center the number "13. " Above the figure said "Catholic University of Chile" (text that appear on screen until 1978), all framed within a framework that pretended to a television screen.
in 1978, with the advent of color on Chile, the number "13" is changed to the initials "UC" (referring to the university), and for a few months, used a version with a color test pattern. During the late 90's the logo was entirely virtual. This logo was the most distinctive and used by the channel, and is the same (but without the frame) that currently uses its union workers,was the favorite TV Station logo.
After almost 40 years, June 18, 1999, with the new administration of Rodrigo Jordan, the logo of Channel 13 undergoes a major change, from the classic "TV-UC" framed as a screen, a modern number "13 "inside a big circle with the letters" UC "(Catholic University) framed on the edge of the small. This change caused a major stir at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, as it involved a desligation of it, causing millions in losses for the channel, and the resignation of Jordan, also is the first most hated logo.
In June 1, 2000; canal 13 inverted the logo of the Jordán administration, the UC letters come to the big circle, and the number 13 gone to the small circle.
