1st Logo Discovery Networks (2000?)(2000-2009)

Logo: White lines flicker across the screen across the word "Discovery". A white flash comes through and a white and blue lava lamp-esque background appears. A spinning globe also appears with the word "Networks" and blue lines run across it.

FX/SFX: The white flash, the moving background and lines

Music/Sounds: A swoosh with a 2-note choir. Other original shows had the closing theme over it.

Availability: It was very common on Discovery channels in the 2000s, but is rare now. It appeared on most original Discovery productions from the time such as Dirty Jobs and How It's Made. In Latin America, this was also known to plaster other logos from syndicated programs. This could be seen on on Discovery channels such as Discovery Kids and Discovery Home and Health. Since this design's retirement in 2009, however, original logos from syndicated productions are now present
