The channel was launched on 15 August 1995. At that time the channel mostly aired shows from its
American counterpart. On March 31, 2008, Discovery unveiled a new logo, which took effect on-air on April 15, 2008 (coinciding with the fourth season premiere of
Deadliest Catch). The new logo was designed by Viewpoint Creative, and integrated Discovery's long-time globe iconography into the "D" lettering of the wordmark, creating a
monogram that was usable as a standalone icon. The launch was accompanied by a new advertising campaign, "The World is Just Awesome", which featured scenes of Discovery personalities singing an adapted version of the song "
I Love the Mountains". Discovery Channel president John Ford explained that the campaign was intended to "showcase our earned place in the greater pop culture landscape". In August 2013 (coinciding with
Shark Week), the aforementioned monogram became the main on-air logo as part of a new imaging campaign, "Grab Life By the Globe", which was designed to emphasize the channel's current focus on personality-driven programming. The logo was portrayed in promos with visual effects relevant to their respective program. On April 1, 2019, Discovery unveiled a new logo, maintaining a refreshed version of the previous globe and D monogram. The new branding is accompanied by another new imaging campaign, "The World is Ours", which features scenes of Discovery personalities singing the
Blue Swede version of "
Hooked on a Feeling". The static version of the globe icon uses a non-standard
projection that shows all continents, reflecting Discovery's presence as an international brand. In 2021,
Amazon Prime Video started streaming Discovery Channel along with its sister channels. Discovery also partnered with
Byju's for
Discovery School Super League, a critical thinking and aptitude-based quiz competition where students can go from representing their schools to representing their states in a nationally televised contest.
