NewsNation (TV channel)

:For logos used on-air by NewsNation prior to 1997, see article WGN-TV. The first two logos shown below were used prior to the introduction of separate on-air branding for the WGN superstation feed in 1997 by some cable and satellite providers in print advertisements.
:Not to be confused with News Nation, a Hindi-language TV channel in India.
==WGN==
===1978–1987===
===1987–1993===
===1993–2001 ===
This logo was adopted in 1997 as part of the superstation feed's "Entertaining America" campaign; prior to this point, the superstation signal of WGN used the exact same logo and branding as WGN-TV's local Chicago area signal (identifying the superstation feed as either "WGN Channel 9", "WGN" or "Channel 9"). On October 6, when the WGN superstation feed formally stopped carrying The WB network programming, Kids' WB programming on weekday mornings and afternoons and on Sunday mornings was replaced with syndicated series, while feature films replaced The WB's prime time programs, resulting in the superstation's schedule more so resembling an independent station than a general entertainment cable network due to the presence of local programming from WGN-TV.
==WGN Superstation==
===2001–2002===
On September 10, 2001, the channel's name was changed to WGN Superstation, in an effort by Tribune Broadcasting to emphasize the channel's national programming prominence; the WGN-TV Chicago signal, meanwhile, continued to use the callsign-only "WGN" branding with the "Channel 9" identification remaining as a sub-brand.
==Superstation WGN==
===2002–2008 ===
This logo was the last one to date used by WGN's national superstation feed to use a variant of the logo used by WGN-TV's local Chicago area feed; in this case, the "arrow 'G'" logo that WGN-TV implemented in November 2002, when the above logo also began being used for the national feed.
==WGN America==
===2008–2009===
Superstation WGN went through a complete overhaul when it was renamed as "WGN America" in 2008. The logo featured a woman’s eyes in the logo, and was similar in resemblance to the 1988-1997 logo used by The Movie Channel; sometimes the eyes in the logo would blink in some network promos. This was the first logo used by the superstation feed that did not include a variant of the Chicago area WGN-TV's logo, although the logotype for the "WGN" in the logo was similar to that of the WGN-TV logo.
===January–April 2009===
In January 2009, the eyes were removed from the logo, leaving just the "WGN America" wordmark.
===2009–2010===
WGN America overhauled its logo in April 2009, using this retro-style logo, that is markedly different from the Chicago area WGN-TV's logo.
===2010–2014===
The logo adopted in 2009 was updated the following year in July 2010, with the trapezoid design containing the retro-style "WGN" simplified to three rounded squares.
===2014–2021===
The retro-style logo was replaced in favor of a simplified logo in January 2014, making it the fifth logo used by WGN America that does not use a variant of WGN-TV's logo. It was designed to feel more "sophisticated" in order to reflect the channel's transition from syndicated programming to original dramas.
==NewsNation==
===March–June 2021===
On January 25, 2021, it was announced that WGN America would be renamed NewsNation after their news program that premiered in September 2020. The renaming took effect on March 1, 2021.
===2021–present===
On June 21, 2021, the logo was slightly amended with the "NewsNation" text spaced out further and the brackets made smaller.
