The origin can traced back to Loreto F. de Hemedes Inc. through DZBB, which started airing its radio broadcast on March 1, 1950, and officially launched as a local radio station in Manila on June 14, 1950. Under the name, Republic Broadcasting System DZBB 580, the initials of RBS and its station name BB were based from founder Robert La Rue Stewart's name and nickname (Robert BOB Stewart).

On April 30, 1992, as part of a new ambition to reach viewers abroad, GMA again rebranded its network identity. The new logo is a rainbow, an evolution of the rainbow add-on for the 1979 logo used from the late-80s to 1992, beamed by a satellite with the colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet of which the rainbow logo design would continue until October 26, 2002. Underneath its logo is their slogan from 1975, "Where You Belong".

An overall modification was made to the "Rainbow Satellite" logo in 1995, on GMA's 45th anniversary, and the same year when GMA became GMA Network. In print ads, it was shown enclosed by a box. On May 16, 1996, GMA formally changed its corporate name to GMA Network, Inc., with GMA now standing for Global Media Arts. At one point, a 2D version existed but it was a placeholder for the next logo in 1998.

The final logo of the 'rainbow' was launched on September 1, 1998. In this version, the satellite was dropped from the logo (most likely because the Rainbow Satellite had been decommissioned at the time), and the "Where You Belong" slogan makes a return.

As of 2022, this logo is still used on the glass panels of the stairs inside the GMA Network Center.

On October 27, 2002, during an episode of the network's longest-running Sunday afternoon musical variety show SOP, GMA refreshed its identity for a brand new logo, which features a rainbow colored heart-shaped logo, the Kapuso, represented by a new slogan Kapuso ng Pamilyang Pilipino, Anumang Kulay ng Buhay.

Despite a new design, it has several odes to the previous logos of the network: GMA's trademark blue color remains as the color of the wordmark, and the rainbow colors that defined the past few logos live on in the heart-shaped symbol. With a lifespan of 20 years, it is the longest-lived logo and branding of the network.
