Meaning and history
The Disney Junior network creation started in May 2010. It was supposed to take the post of Disney’s TV network for preschoolers – Playhouse. Junior was formed in February 2011 as just a broadcasting part on Disney Channel, airing in the early hours, seven days a week. In March 2012, the block was transformed into a full-scale TV channel. Now it casts popular Disney franchises such as Mickey Mouse, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, and various cartoonish shows for children. It also shows original TV series and movies, including Lucky Duck, released in 2014.

The initial logotype for Disney Junior barely differed from the variant of 2020. It depicted Disney’s nameplate in its iconic handwritten style. This inscription was placed above the word ‘junior’, written in all 3D capitals. The top of the letter ‘i’ was black and had a Mickey Mouse’s head above it. Also, there were two yellow dots on the character. Some other features of the logotype contained the initial letter of the ‘Disney’ word standing to abut the top of the lower ‘j’. The letter ‘y’ also went over the letter ‘n’.
2020 – today
To renovate the logotype in 2020, the brand designers have made several minor changes in its design without changing the main concept. For example, Mickey Mouse’s head now has a highlighted spot, so the whole head looks more volumetric. Moreover, the word ‘Disney’ became a little smaller. Finally, a large dot above the ‘Disney’ word’s letter ‘i’ has received a small empty spot in its left part (previously, it was just black and white).
Font
The two words in the channel’s logotype have two completely different scripts. A custom handwritten style with bold lines was used to write the word ‘Disney’. The letters ‘g’ and ‘y’, drawn in somewhat sloppy lines, have the most distinctive appearance here. In its turn, the ‘Junior’ caption uses a heavy sans-serif typeface with no gaps between prominent characters. In both words, the first letters are capitals, while the following ones are lowercase.
Color
The channel design team has used a black, red & yellow color palette to depict the logotype. Here’s how the colors are set: the lower ‘Junior’ word is red, and the letter ‘i’ has two yellow dots on it, while its top is black; the upper ‘Disney’ part and the Mickey Mouse’s head are black. The whole logotype is placed on a white background if there is any.
