A new logo for ZDF was launched on 1 January 1992. The symbol depicts a sphere arranged between two rings, which is made up of 16 areas, that represents the 16 federal states of Germany. The symbol could also be interpreted as an eye, similar to CBS .
2001–present [ ]
Typography:
Handel Gothic EF Bold
A new logo for ZDF was launched on 2 June 2001. The new look was created in cooperation with Razorfish of New York and Das Werk of Frankfurt[4] . The Z in the logo resembles a stylized number 2 (two), or zwei which also reflects the network's name[5] [6] .
ZDF has not changed its logo since 2001, though its thematic channels have changed their logos several times. Zee TV , one of the most popular Indian TV channels, introduced a highly similar logo in 2017, with the word Zee in an orange circle and TV outside.
