In July 1946 at nearly 4:00 am, in New York City, New York, United States (the flagship station WCBR-TV), and Saudi Arabia at 11:00 am, the television and radio broadcasting team workers of the Cuben Corp wanted to make a plan to form their new broadcasting service in the company. So they signed a broadcasting deal to the Cuben Corp team and got started setting up the studio inside of the company, debuting their new broadcasting service called TheCuben2006 Channel, also known as Cuben Radio Service. It serves the radio broadcasting around the world until it was shutdown in 1963.
This is a prototype logo designed by David Carson - depicting "TheCuben2006" letters slapped on a cube next to the word "Channel" in heavy lettering. But the team of Cuben Corp rejected this logo as it looks a little bland and dull. Later then, Cuben Radio Service held a logo contest in November 1946 for a better logo for this service. There are 16 entries in this contest, but only one entry will be an official logo for this radio broadcasting service.

Cuben Radio Service was launched on August 1st, 1947. This is the first logo and radio broadcasting in the Cuben Corp and started up as a new Radio Network and Service transmitted in the United States, Saudi Arabia, and around the world. It was designed by contest winner Armin Hofmann, after receiving the greatest amount of votes with 37. This logo features a circle with a cross and some 4 circles inside of the circle, which means it serves the 4 transmitting regions. It also resembles to the "Do Not Dry Clean" icon (albeit the nickname for this logo.) from one the laundry symbols, but with 4 circles surrounding them. There is an another alternative version of this logo including 4 diamonds, but it was never used as well - as a prototype logo.
This logo will be later used on experiencing this channel on television from February 1949 to September 1951 under "Cuben Television Service" - featuring an ident just a logo in a black background, only to find out it was lost footage of people testing their television broadcasting during that year. One day, the lost logo was mysterious found, including an old recording of a logo with Cuben Television Service logo on a black background, which was recorded on May 19, 1949 by someone who turned on the TV, of a broadcast testing found on a time capsule, which opened on May 19, 2019.

Alternative where the face is placed on a TV screen
TheCuben2006 Channel debuts the famous logo in May 1960. The logo uses the face from the 1958 logo, but this time with 3 rings in red, green, and blue - debuting the testing of the color television. This logo gave too much criticism to this logo with a face reminding some people that it look like an inanimate object. The face in this logo was known as the famous "The Face In Logo". Designed by Paul Rand, who also designed back in 1952.

On December 1st, 2019, United World Media took control of CubenRocks Channel, its television station affiliates, its companion/premium channels, and other assets from UWN. United World Media announced that their channel CubenRocks Channel would be rebranded as UWN on February 1st. On February 1st, 2020 at exactly 3:00 am, CubenRocks Channel was completely rebranded as UWN, officially retiring the older brands CubenRocks and TheCuben2006 branding in the United States, Saudi Arabia, and the whole world after 68 years. The rebrand to UWN affected this channel, its other suite of networks and their affiliates, and CubenRocks Channel Online. The new ident graphic packaging was designed and created by London-based DixonBaxi. Their new slogan for this channel is "Be The One.", which was named after Dua Lipa's song in 2015. It also known for debuting "Four Colors" ident packaging. There is a logo variant that revives the famous "The Face In Logo" from the 1960, making the grand revival mixture of the old logo with the new logo.
After the rebrand, UWN began to be carried on two real-life stations: MyNetworkTV affiliate WZBJ in Roanoke and CBS affiliate KKTV on the respective stations' fourth digital subchannel, marking an entry for UWN into the Roanoke-Lynchburg, VA and Colorado Springs-Pueblo, CO markets.
Berfield/Willis Broadcast Corporation announced alongside UWN Affiliations that UWN Affiliations will be dissolved on December 31st, 2020. As a result, UWN ran special ads on the affiliation change from UWN to YesNet (a network owned by Berfield/Willis) on selected flagship affiliates (ex. WUWD in Detroit, WUWC in Chicago, and KUWU in Salt Lake City). This plan was scrapped ultimately as YesNet already had affiliates in the top 210 markets. Berfield/Willis announced on June 21st, 2021 that UWN will continue to run on all affiliates until Rewind TV begins operations on September 1st, 2021. UWN Radio stations ran a message on the previous switch:
