1st Logo (2002-2009)

Provided ID could not be validated.

Logo: On a black background, a small, spinning globe zooms in to the left of the screen. A letter "D" comes out of the globe while the letters "iscovery" appear to finish the word and the word "NETWORKS" appears below.

FX/SFX: The spinning globe and words.

Music/Sounds: A deep synth pad.

Availability: Current. Seen on most Discovery programs from the era.

Editor's Note: Because of the simplistic animation, the logo looks like it was done by a beginner, but in summary, the animation is improving.
