Game Show Network was launched on December 1, 1994. The network was the first network to broadcast game shows 24/7. On March 15, 2004, it was renamed GSN. The network reverted to its original name on October 1, 2018.
ID: We see the network's original logo, Winnie (a stylized multicolored humanoid figure, which was designed to look like an excited game show contestant) dancing and jumping around on a game show set. Various times during the ID, the camera pans over to one of the various curtains on the set. Clips of Wheel of Fortune, Match Game and Family Feud are seen. Several letter tiles that make up the floor and playing cards on the floor begin flying around the set as Winnie spins around on top of a trophy with "GAME SHOW NETWORK" around it.
Variants: The length of this ID would vary:
Technique: CGI, sometimes with live-action game show clips.
Audio: A jazz music piece. In most cases, an male announcer says over the music, "You're watching Game Show Network!" The length of the music differs with each version.
Availability: This was used from the network's launch to its first rebrand.
ID: On a bright lavender marble background, we see various clips of game shows in GSN's library flipping vertically inside several rectangles, ending with a new GSN logo, which looks a bit like this:
The letters "GAME SH W" are cut out of squares, and the "O" is a swirly green ball.
Variants:
Technique: CGI with live-action game show clips. This was done by Lee Hunt Associates.
Audio: A hip-hop-style theme. As with the previous ID, an male announcer may say "You're watching Game Show Network."

ID: A still of the Game Show Network print logo on an orange grid background.
Technique: None.
Audio: None.
Availability: This was used rarely as a break bumper.
ID: Various prizes on green and cornflower blue tiles are shown flipping around on a cornflower blue/yellow/white spinning striped background w9th some green rings. The tiles eventually flip to reveal the Game Show Network logo.
Variant: There is also a "dark" version, where the colors are inverted and the background has circles instead of the usual stripes.
Technique: CGI. This was done by Lee Hunt Associates.
Audio: An upbeat music cue, which differs depending on the ID. An male announcer may say "You're watching Game Show Network."
Availability: This was used during the "Dark Period".
ID: Two were used:
Variant: On the final season of Flamingo Fortune, the logo is tilted diagonally to the left to make a split-screen. On the right is a static picture of the 1996 Columbia TriStar Television logo.
Technique: CGI and live-action. This was done by Lee Hunt Associates.
Audio: An upbeat music cue with sounds corresponding to the actions on-screen (e.g. "BOING!" sounds).
Audio Variant: On the Flamingo Fortune variant, while the end-title theme is playing, there are women saying "Game Show!" followed by another woman saying "Network!"
Availability: This was used after the "Dark Period" ended, and remained in use until Summer 1999.
ID: On a background made of green/blue or blue/grey squares, we see a steel ball spinning with various objects on it. Suddenly, the objects vanish and the ball reveals arms that hold the Game Show Network logo. The GSN logo then rotates from left to right, with the "S" spinning in the process. The ball serving as the "O" constantly spins as well.
Three were made, each with a different series of objects on the ball:
Variants:
Technique: CGI by Duck Soup Studios for Pittard Sullivan.
Audio: A techno-style theme with a guitar. Sound effects related to the objects are also heard.
Availability: This was used until the network was rebranded to GSN.
ID: On a dark blue background, the then-current GSN logo (a black square with GSn on it) appears and pans back to reveal a spiral of blue GSN logos. Another spiral is seen, with the word "play" on it, then another with "games", and finally a third one with "play games". The GSN logo zooms back and reforms, with "THE NETWORK FOR GAMES" appearing under it.
Variant: Other exist. In one such ID, on a light blue background, we see the GSN logo. The sound of a doorbell ringing is then heard, and the logo then opens up to reveal a set of refrigerators and we see a game show host say "You're a winner!" The camera then goes inside the refrigerator where we see a green trophy. The camera then zooms into the trophy and then goes back to the GSN logo which then closes with "THE NETWORK FOR GAMES" already under it.
Technique: CGI with live-action in some . This was done by V12.
Audio: A pop-rock tune with flipping sound effects. The tune ends with a female announcer saying "GSN", which then echoes. The other have their own audio, but the woman's voiceover remains.
Availability: The main ID was first seen as a launch promo after the previous ID's last variant on March 15, 2004, to mark the rebrand to GSN.

Technique: CGI.
Audio: Depends on the ID.
Availability: This was used until the network rebranded.
ID: On a colored background, we see three squares of the same color as the background with "GSN" on them. The squares do something relating to games that causes six more squares (three on the top, three on the bottom) to appear, forming the then-new GSN logo.
Variant: In most cases, "playeveryday" appears below at the end.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Depends on the ID.
Availability: This was used during commercial breaks in most cases.
ID: On a white background, sometimes with a portrait of a game show presenter, we see the then-current GSN logo flipping in. Then, the logo flips to reveal "THE WORLD NEEDS MORE WINNERS."
Technique: CGI with live-action game show clips.
Audio: A guitar piece and a man singing, "Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah! Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!" and the guitar theme playing again.
Availability: This was used as an "On TV" promo and seen through commercials.

Technique: CGI.
Audio: A synth tune with a guitar and flipping sound effects.
Availability: This was used until the network rebranded on June 3, 2015.
ID: A light blue square appears on a green background. "GSN" slides up from below and is zooms in, turning diagonal in the process and forming the then-new GSN logo. "READY TO PLAY?" slides in below the logo in light blue. A white bar wipes the background and inverses the light blue and green colors, while "GSN" stays white and "READY TO PLAY?" turns white as well.
Variant: A version without the slogan exists.

Audio: Rhythmic synth riffs with a whoosh at the color shift.
