1985-1988 (Pre-launch)
This logo was only seen on pre-launch ads to cable providers and on print. This was never intended to be a permanent logo, and a logo contest was held at the Kemper Arena.

1988-1997 (worldwide), 2009-present (Sweden and Italy only)
This logo was the first to be used on the channel. The channel launched in 1988 to only a few cable providers. It was designed by Novocom. After the end of its run, this was still used on test cards until they were converted to widescreen in 1998. This logo was bought back in 2009 for Sweden and Italy.

1997-2002
In 1997, Mad Channel became a basic cable network. As a result, a new logo was needed. This logo was designed by Lambie Nairn. This logo was used on the channel until 2002, and on DVDs until 2008.

2002-2004
In 2002, a new logo was made by Ghostway. This logo proved to be annoying, as many fans didn't understand why "channel" wasn't there. In 2003, "channel" was added back by popular demand. This logo continued to be on MadText until that service was shut down in 2012. (MadText's replacement was Mad Channel NightView, a digital teletext service airing from 10pm to 6am every night)

2004-2009 (most countries), 2004-present (UK and Ireland)
The previous logo was still unpopular, and in 2004, a new logo was made by Wolff Ollins.

2005-present (France), 2009-present (USA)
In 2005, the french version got rid of the "Mad Channel" name and rebranded as the MC. In 2009, the USA joined in. This logo was designed by Lambie Nairn.

2008-present (Canada and Philippines only)
In 2008, Canada and the Philippines switched to this logo, revisiting a rejected concept for a logo.

2009-present (International Only)
In 2009, all other countries except for the UK and Ireland switched to this logo.
