1st Logo (2014-2017)

• 

Logo: We start with a closeup of a white sphere with a purple ring around the center. The sphere opens up to reveal part of a city with a stadium in the middle. In the stadium, various sporting grounds with the players playing said sport. The sports shown, in order, are:

• Basketball
• Soccer
• Tennis

After that, the stadium reverts back to its original place and the camera zooms out whilst the sphere closes up and the channel name in purple fades in on the right.

Variants:

• Short versions of each sport (especially the one with a stadium) exist.
• There are different variants including:
  • Version 1:
    • Rugby
    • Athletics
    • Handball
  • Version 2:
    • Motorsport
    • Boxing
    • Volleyball

Technique: CGI and live-action, done by Digital District.

Music/Sounds: Robotic sounds at the start, which is followed by a dramatic orchestral piece along with the sounds of the corresponding sports, whooshes, cheering and back to the robotic sounds at the end. Composed by Bogue.

Availability: Extinct.

2nd Logo (2017-)

• 

Logo: Essentially the same as the 1st logo, but once the sphere is formed, it rotates a bit before splitting in half, with the second half moving to the right side of the screen. The two hemispheres rotate, forming the new logo, with "beIN" on the left and "SPORTS" on the right, inside a white/purple rectangle, respectively.

Technique: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Current.
