On January 17th, 2014, Disney Channel Germany was relaunched as a free-to-air channel, replacing Das Vierte. As a result, Disney Channel Germany introduced a new logo, which features the word "CHANNEL" in a script font. During the day, the logo is used with the Mickey Mouse ears in the "i". In the evening, the logo is used with the normal "i".
From 2017 to 2023, this logo was only used as the on-screen bug during the day. The nighttime variant of this logo remained in use until February 1st, 2024.
