DR1

DR1 is a Danish television channel, belonging to the public broadcaster DR. Until the 1980s it was the only television channel in Denmark and was known as DR TV, and from 1987 to 1994, it was known as 1'eren to symbolize its logo. However, in 1994, it was renamed to DR TV1 and then later, in 1996, it was known as DR1 as its current name.

After the introduction of DR's first corporate logo in 1964, the Danish national TV channel changed its name from Danmarks Radio TV to DR TV and were able to adopt DR's first corporate logo. From 1987 to 1994, the channel was known as 1'eren, despite its channel name.

In 1994, DR TV changed its name to DR TV1 and introduced a new logo with a large "1" within a TV screen. The official name was still DR TV, but this was the last logo to wear DR's 1964 logo scheme and also to carry the DR TV brand, because this logo is typically short-lived for 2 years.

On June 1, 2005, DR adopted a new corporate logo, and all its services had their logos updated accordingly. The 2003 look was kept but had the logo replaced.
Initially, the DR1 and DR2 logos were shown in black-and-white when not on screen. A few months later it was decided that in print and on the web, the channel logos would have permanent colours. The DR1 logo would be pink and the DR2 logo would be turqoise.
====2006-2009====

In preparation for the digital switchover, DR1 and DR2 got new looks on September 1, 2009. The DR wordmark is now consistently white in a black box on all channel logos.
