The diagonal red and celestial were normal and the green diagonal was stylized in ray form, forming the letters "MV", a shortened form of "Megavisión". Under it the wordmark "Megavisión", occasionally red, in a range of fonts: the letter "e" is from Century Gothic, the letters "g" and "a" were in SF Orson Casual Light.

The new corporate image, that would last only two months, consisted of 3 parallelograms of red, green and blue, and under it the new motto "MEGA" in black.  The letter "M" was square and the letter A without horizontal bar, similar to the Greek letter capital "Λ" (lambda), which is the same as a form of the Cyrillic letter "Л". Although it was quickly replaced, the logo was kept in use as a secondary logo, mainly on press microphones.

2001–2010[]

In December 2001 the logo was redesigned, moving the parallelograms next to the letter A and shrinking. This logo was used from 2001 to 2006 as the official logo, and as the on-screen logo until 2010.
