Logo and identity history

7Bravo began transmission on 15 January 2023 and contains all programming from NBCUniversal's channels, which included the branding associated with NBCUniversal's own Bravo network. Upon its inception, the logo adopted the standard logo of the Seven Network, with the red 7 ribbon now turquoise, accompanying the "bravo" speech bubble branding. In April 2024, Seven updated the channel's logo, to reflect the Bravo network refresh which coincided with a rebrand worldwide. Instead of the solid turquoise colour, it featured a lilac-blue gradient. File:7Bravo 2023 logo.svg, 15 January 2023 – 1 April 2024 File:7Bravo_logo.svg, 1 April 2024 – present
