France 2 logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Meaning and history The visual identity of the popular French TV channel has changed a lot during the years, as well as the channel’s name, which came to the current France 2 only in 1992, and before that was known as Deuxieme Chaine de la RTF and Antenne 2.
- White serif lettering placed on black background above the bold white “2”.
- The inscription was set in all capitals and looked elegant and professional, evoking a sense of expertise and authority.
- The additional version of the channel’s first year had a “Chaine 2” written in white cursive over a dark gray rectangle.
- 1967 – 1972 The first colorful emblem was introduced by the channel in 1967.
- The black “Deuxieme Chaine Coleur” inscription was written over the bright background in a traditional sans-serif typeface.
- The badge from those years boasted a solid black background with an n acid-bright composition, where the handwritten green “2” intertwined with a red “A” stylized as a star and was surrounded by light blue brushstrokes.
- The lowercase letter and its modern contours made the logo look progressive and stylish, while the gradient blue color palette and circular geometry made it welcoming and kind.
- 1986 – 1987 The redesign of 1986 introduced a completely different concept of the Antenne 2 visual identity.
- It was a bright composition with a bold enlarged “2” in gradient purple and gray, placed in a solid black background, with a delicate lowercase “A” written in cursive over the “2”.
- 1987 – 1988 In 1987 the color palette of the channel’s visual identity was switched to a stricter and more professional one — now the dark gray digit with a red-letter were placed on a light gray background with a horizontal striped pattern.
- Now it was colored in a light shade of gray and had its white horizontal lines placed at a bigger distance from each other, which made the whole emblem look fresher.
- 1990 – 1992 The Antenne 2 logo was changed again in 1990.
- This was the last Antenne 2 logo, as in 1992 the channel was renamed France 2.
- 1992 The very first logo for the new name of the channel was created in 1992 but has never been used by France 2.
- 1992 – 2002 In 1992 a new emblem was designed — a bold red “2l with a white cursive “France” written along its bottom line.
- 2002 – 2008 The red and white color palette was kept, but the composition of the logo got completely shanked in 2002.
- The white digit with a lowercase sans-serif inscription above it was placed on a red trapezoid, set vertically.
- 2018 – Today In 2018 the France 2 logo was redesigned by the Movement bureaux.
- The new emblem featured a bold black lowercase lettering in sans-serif with a solid red dot separating the “France” from the “2”.
