The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (French: Société Radio-Canada), branded as CBC/Radio-Canada, is the Canadian public broadcaster for both radio and television. It is a Crown corporation that serves as the national public broadcaster, with its English-language and French-language service units commonly known as CBC and Radio-Canada, respectively. The company was founded on 2 November 1936 in Ottawa, Canada.

On November 2, 1936, CBC-Radio Canada was launched.

Logos

At the end of network programs, in 1958, the CBC adopted its new logo. The “Butterfly” logo was designed for the CBC by Hubert Tison in 1966. A sketch on the CBC Television program Wayne and Shuster once referred to this as the logo of the “Cosmic Butterfly Corporation”.

In December 1974, the fourth logo, known internally as “the gem”, was designed for the CBC by graphic artist Burton Kramer. This animated version, which went to air in December 1974, is also known colloquially as “The Exploding Pizza”. The large shape in the middle is the letter C, which stand for Canada. The original theme for the 1974 CBC ident was a three-note woodwind orchestral fanfare accompanied by the voiceover ”This is CBC” or “ICI Radio Canada”. This was later replaced by a different, and more familiar 11-note orchestral jingle, which was used until December 31, 1985.

The updated one-colour version of the gem/pizza logo, created by Hubert Tison and Robert Innes, was introduced on January 1, 1986. The logo was changed to one colour, generally dark blue on white, or white on dark blue, in 1986. Print ads and most television promos, however, have always used a single-colour version of this logo since 1974. During 1986, they use gold platings on their idents to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the CBC.

In 1992, the CBC updated its new logo design to make it simpler and more red (or white on a red background). The new logo design, created by Swiss-Canadian design firm Gottschalk + Ash, reduces the number of geometric sections in the logo to 13 instead of the previous logo’s 25, and the “C” in the centre of the logo became a simple red circle.
