Disney Jr.

Disney Jr. (formerly Disney Junior and Playhouse Disney) is an American pay television network that is owned by the Walt Disney Television unit of The Walt Disney Company through Disney Branded Television. Aimed mainly at children under 8 years, its programming consists of original first-run television series and select other third-party programming.
==Playhouse Disney (first era)==
===1999–2001===
After The Disney Channel premiered three new original preschool series in 1998 (PB&J Otter, Rolie Polie Olie, and Out of the Box), the block became Playhouse Disney on February 1, 1999.
===2000–2011===
==Playhouse Disney Channel==
===2001–2002===
In Spring 2001, Playhouse Disney was renamed to Playhouse Disney Channel (although the channel was still using its previous name in advertising) and was given a new look. Even though the Mickey TV set version of this logo was phased out in 2002, the version without it continued to be used until 2011. 
==Playhouse Disney (second era)==
===2002–2011===
Alongside Disney Channel, on September 30, 2002, the block got a rebrand and the word "CHANNEL" was dropped from its name again, thus the original name was reinstated although the word "CHANNEL" was still used in the first version of this logo until 2003.
===2010–2011===
On May 29, 2010, Playhouse Disney updated its on-air look and began using a logo similar to the Disney Channel logo from that same year.

===2011–2024 (primary), 2024–present (secondary)===
====2011–2020 (primary), 2020–2024 (secondary)====
In November 2010, it announced that Disney would replace Playhouse Disney with a new children's programming brand under the name of Disney Junior, bringing to an end of the "Playhouse" era after 12 years of its existence. The network didn't launch until February 14, 2011. It would later be transferred into a TV channel replacing Soapnet on some providers on March 23, 2012. 
====2020–2024 (primary), 2024–present (secondary)====
In 2020, the Mickey Mouse head as the dot in "i" was slightly changed to more closely resemble the character model as seen in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Mickey Mouse Roadster Racers, Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures and Mickey Mouse Funhouse. Moreover, a shadow was added beneath the letters "Junior". However, the previous logo is still used in international markets, in several bumpers, and generally as a secondary variant.
Despite the channel shortening its logo and rebranding as Disney Jr. on June 1, 2024, this logo is still used on international markets and in the United States as a transition piece to the rebrand with the logo shown below.

A new logo was submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office in January 2024, stylized as DJr.https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=98374063&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch 
The full version, now under the name Disney Jr., eventually began to roll out and made its first appearance with promos for the upcoming series Ariel and the stage event Disney Jr. Live on Tour: Let's Play! in May 2024 before officially taking effect on June 1, 2024.
