Background

Discovery Kids was rebranded into The Hub in 2010 as a joint venture between Discovery and Hasbro. The Hub was renamed to the Hub Network in 2013, and was rebranded again into Discovery Family in 2014.

1st Logo (October 10, 2010-January 13, 2014)


Visuals: On a gradient purple background is a silver orb with the word "hub" (set in The Hub's custom typeface called Hublish) appearing in purple and on the silver orb with the whole logo later shines.

Variants:

  • Starting in September 2013, a silver orb now quickly zooms out and the word "NETWORK" (in the same font) pops up appears below the logo (or the "hub" text) letter by letter.
  • There is a long version of this logo also exists; here, on a black background, there is the silver orb with the same word on it zooming into the screen with the logo later zooms out and the background changes into purple with the normal animation playing as usual afterwards.

Technique: CGI by Troika Design Group.

Audio: None or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: The version without the word "NETWORK" can be seen on 2010-2013 episodes of Family Game Night, while the version with the word "NETWORK" is seen on the last three episodes of The Aquabats! Super Show!.

2nd Logo (January 13-October 13, 2014)


Visuals: Against a dark red background, there is the yellow Hub Network logo without the word "neTwOrK" (in the same font as before, but italicized). The right side from the bottom moves up to the center when the dark red background changes to purple and moves up, then changes to a dark blue background, then back to purple when the blue Hub Network logo appears in the center, then the yellow Hub Network logo disappears, and the blue Hub Network logo changes to the original Hub Network logo, with the purple and blue Hub Network logos appearing on the top and bottom, then the purple and blue Hub Network logos disappearing when the original Hub Network logo zooms in. The Hub Network logo zooms out twice, with the word "neTwOrK" zooms out twice below.

Variant: A still version exists, where the background is grey.

Technique: 2D animation by Oishii Creative.

Audio: A four-note guitar theme or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on many shows from the Hub Network at the time, such as season five of Family Game Night.
