1st logo (1974-19??)

2nd Logo (1980s-1991)


Logo: On a background similar to a golf ball-like texture, we see a white square with the Minsk TV tower inside the square and a blue border surrounding it. The company name in Belarusian "БЕЛАРУCКАЕ ТЭЛЕ̄БАҶАHHЕ" in orange can be seen on the bottom right corner.

3rd Logo (1992-1996)

4th Logo (1996-1997)
Logo: We see 3D Diamonds flying around a 3D Pentagon on a blue background. A couple of seconds later, the Pentagon turns into a sphere & the Diamonds fly away of the sphere, making it disappear while a trail of spheres appear. The letters from last time in green appear behind the trail as well & gets closer to us. It then disappears, making the letters in silver & the company name on the top & bottom appear.

Legacy: The logo feels like most Central United States, nice music with poor quality.

5th Logo (1997-2000)
Logo: We see a green/red square with 3 gold lines (one being thin, one being thick, & the other being thin crossed on the 2 lines mentioned) on a yellow & purple background. Then golden lines come along to see a city of Belarus. It does that for 16 seconds until one comes along & shows the square with the golden lines & the company name on the same background.

Technique: CGI animation & live-action.

Music/Sounds: An instrumental fanfare different from last time.
