Inravisión (Colombia)

(Inravisión, also known as Inravisión Colombia) was a state-run broadcasting organization serving Colombia in the activities of radio and television. The company was created in December 20, 1963, by the Decree 3267, replacing the previous entity, Radiotelevisora Nacional de Colombia. The company (alonside its sister programmer, Audiovisuales) was liquidated in 2004 and both companies became Radio Televisión Nacional de Colombia. (RTVC)
==1963–1982==
This was the first ever logo of Inravisión, designed by David Consuegrahttp://davidconsuegra.com/portafolio/instituto-nacional-de-radio-y-television-inravision-1964/. It features the wordmark "inravisión" with the letter "v" replaced with an abstract face in a triangular shape (which was misinterpreted as a pencil sharpener)https://www.eltiempo.com/archivo/documento/MAM-189345, which would become Inravisión's most famous logo.

==1982–1994==
In 1982, Inravisión debuted a logo that was very unique at that time, and appears to be heavily inspired by the logo of Brazil's Rede Globo.
==1994–2001==
In 1994 as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of Colombian television, Inravisión returned to the iconic "pencil sharpener" logo due to popular demand and new bumpers were introduced that represents their expansion via satellite through all of Colombia.
==2001–2004==
In 2001, the iconic symbol was modified with rounded corners and the wordmark was capitalized.
At the end of 2004, Inravisión was liquidated under the government of Álvaro Uribe Vélez, arguing that the large pension liability, its outdated technologies and the struggling finances of its channels Canal Uno, Canal A and the Audiovisuales programmer (after the 2004 public television crisis) made Inravisión unsustainable as a company. Inravisión was replaced by Radio Televisión Nacional de Colombia (RTVC), which itself became RTVC Sistema de Medios Públicos in 2013.
