'''Visuals:''' There is the stretched text "CIVILIZATION" in black on a gold background. In the background, there is a skinny African-American looking towards the right, a clock showing the numbers in Roman Numerals, and a white rectangle with the white text "Discovery" below, where the text is appearing one-by-one. Once the text disappears, everything fades to a gold/grey background showing the text again and the same kid looking the same direction, plus another kid that's similar looking the left. The text gets smaller and once it does that, everything fades to a pair of arms below a gold globe on a gold background with a double ramp shape seen on the left. The text disappears after that, and it cuts to just the globe spinning and flickering a couple of times. Political globes start appearing and the gold globe turns to another clock in Roman Numerals and modern numbers. The clock disappears, where it shows an African-American women and one copy is seen on each side. Below it is the text "CIVILIZATION" in black unstretch itself and seen above a black rectangle with the same text in white stretching. The women disappears as another double ramp shape moves to the left seen on the right, which it, the text, and the rectangle disappears shortly, revealing 2 stretched text saying "CIVILIZATION" and a program playing on the same background. A face of a male is seen starring on the background, as well as 2 rectangles, a political globe, and yet another double ramp shape. It then cuts to a picture of 4 men holding clocks and 4 pictures of a hispanic man's head rotating in the same directions in different times on the same gold background. The picture fades out, revealing a clock seen in the background, a globe appearing and getting to nearly the center of the screen, 7 pictures of a British man seen on the bottom, and 4 pictures of a person. As the political globe gets to said position, the text "CIVILIZATION" is seen in black with 2 bars in orange seen on the top and bottom of the text. The yellow text "Discovery" appears on top of the top orange bar and the white text "CHANNEL" is seen inside of the bottom bar. |

Fingerprint
-

Visuals: There is something happening (see Variants), mostly focusing on crime. The white text "ID" then can be seen above the text "INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY" also in white and a political globe can be seen next to the "ID".
Variants: There are 3 major IDs that have been found so far.
- Fingerprint: The sequence starts off as a close-up of a wine cup. Another shot of the cup in the living room is seen, then the camera zooms closer to the cup, on which a fingerprint is seen. It gets closer to the fingerprint until that becomes a rugged surface, then some light-up comets and gadgets get together to make the Investigation Discovery logo next to vertical bars.
- Footprint: There is a shot of a crime scene in California. Getting closer, a footprint is seen. Then it cuts to a black background with different footprints seen flashing with studies in text flashing. The back footprint has "MATCH" right next to it. The background turns white, the footprint turns black, and it has "98% Match" right next to it. Then it cuts to the "TREAD BRAND" and studies of a weapon, where it fades to a receipt of sporting goods. It then cuts to a man getting handcuffed while it shows 3 shots. It then cuts to a man holding a picture of the footprint on a black background in front of the government. It gets closer to the footprint to see a mallet and the Investigation Discovery logo on a brown background.
- Rose: There is a close-up of a rose, where the camera moves to see glass falling. Then the camera goes upwards, where the rose splits and rose leaves start falling instead of glass. We then see the Investigation Discovery logo.
Technique: Photographs and video footage mixed with CGI, produced by Buster Design and Stun Creative.
Audio: A mysterious theme is heard.
2nd ID (2012-2014)
Visuals: There is a random live-action scene, all involving people. We then see a transparent cube with a blue "ID" in center get to the center of the screen. The white text "INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY" is seen below the cube. Then the text "ALWAYS REVEALING" appears below the text.
Technique: Live-action, then CGI for the logo. Produced by Smoke & Mirrors in Manchester, England.
Audio: Whatever is going on in the live-action scene, as well as a short mysterious theme, which is not similar to the logo above.
3rd ID (2014-April 12, 2020)
-
On Demand
-
Grey version
Visuals: There is a black cube with the white text "ID" doing the same animation as before on a blue background.
Variants:
- Sometimes, the background is grey and the text "ALWAYS REVEALING" appears.
- A station ID exists where we see a close-up of the cube. Then the text and the cube spin as it gets to the center of the screen. Once it does that, "INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY" can be seen.
- It can be seen On Demand where the cube and the text are the same color as the last logo. Also, the text "ON DEMAND" appears.
Technique: CGI by Smoke & Mirrors.
Audio: A short mysterious theme similar to the last logo, plus an announcer whispering "Investigate". Produced at Three Seas, Inc.
Audio Variants:
- For the station ID, none.
- For the On Demand variant, only an announcer saying "You're watching Investigation Discovery on Demand" is heard.
Availability: It can still be seen on its programs on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video; this is less likely however, since the next logo might show up instead. Despite this, it can be seen on some shows by The Learning Channel, including My 600-lb Life and My Strange Addiction.
