AOA

AOA is an American multinational commercial free-to-air commercial television channel founded on August 5th, 1985 as a joint venture between CPN Media Group (Wildcat Holdings sold it to this company in 1999), Time Warner (now Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony bought out its share), Disney, and Viacom (now Paramount Global, Sony bought out its share). All these companies also aired their content on the network. It originally stood for An Odd Acronym.

1999-2022
AOA received a major rebrand (designed by the in-house team and Lambie/Nairn) on April 1st, 1999, that would be used until 2022, and then reused again after Sony Pictures Television bought out WBD and Paramount Global's shares in the channel. It was originally going to fit in with Disney's nationwide channel, ABC. It was well received and even caused ABC to rebrand in 2002. It would also lose its true meaning, as AOA would open up to people's interpretations of the acronym, such as Acronym Omitting Acronyms. During this time, AOA also became a worldwide network.

For a short time, AOA had a new rebrand a logo in 2002 that was widely hated by its audience, so they had to revert back to the 1999 package.

Later on, in 2018, AOA launched AOA+ (which had a different logo) and filled in the logo with black. Many people didn't mind this change.

2022-present
On June 10th, 2022, all AOA brands (excluding AOA+, AOA.com, and AOA World News) recieved a major rebrand. It was widely loved by fans, as it still used the yellow and black color palette, albeit inverted. It was designed by Cat House Design, Stereotee, DixonBaxi, and The Graphics Design.

Unfortunately, when Sony Pictures Television bought out Paramount Global and WBD's shares in the channel, AOA reverted its logo back to the 1999 branding package, including the logo. The CEO of Sony Pictures Television, Tony Vinciquerra, said that it "didn't fit in with AOA's theme".
