Channel U is a TV channel owned by Mediacorp. Originally as part of SPH MediaWorks, it was one of the two channels to be owned by the company (also Channel i). On 1 January 2005, SPH MediaWorks was liquidated and was merged to Mediacorp, which led to Channel U becoming the companion channel to Channel 8.

1st Logo (2001-2005)

3rd Logo (活出个性/Live It Up) (2015-2023)

Logo: Depending on the variants. Like before, these all end with the Channel U logo, with both the text "活出个性" (Live It Up), with the English translation (in a cyan-blue gradient) below folding in.

Variants:

Idents:
- Confident: On a city with staircases, we see some grey balls (there were also magenta/blue balls). Later, some magenta/blue balls came moving across, which form together in a empty space, to form the logo from before.
- Fun: On a grey hallway shaped like a hexagon (which has windows in a folding sides to the carnival), we see alot of grey balls from before, then several balls form a hexagon, which becomes magenta/blue (and then cyan). In between, the screen started to mirror itself on orange/magenta/blue/cyan tinted triangles. Like before, the logo forms as usual.
- Hero: At first, we see alot of grey balls from before (which already covered up the screen), then some balls fall from the group, revealing an warehouse-like room (with a window on top). The balls from before form a huge ball and become magenta/blue, then it fully became cyan, which forms the logo.
- Witty: On a grey floor with twirling ramps, we see the same grey balls from before. Then, they become magenta/blue/cyan balls, which fly up to form the logo in the sky.
Time Belts:
- Best of Asian Drama: On a white studio, we see white figures doing martial arts, and one fights another one. The "U" logo appear on the left, with the text "亚洲最HIT又弋剧" (Asia's Most Hit Drama) appears.
- Busy Lately: On a room with walls as lights, we see two white squares doing things like spinning and connecting one other. Then, we see a statue. Furthermore, the two squares move to the statue and the same ending animation from "Best of Asian Drama" plays but the text is "最近比较忙" (Busy Lately).
