About National Geographic Channel

A tall, narrow yellow rectangular frame sits at left; the inside of the frame is filled with solid black, forming a smaller inner rectangle. To the right of the frame is a single-line, all-caps wordmark reading "CHANNEL" in a medium-dark gray sans-serif. The composition is set on a white background with the frame and text aligned horizontally and balanced by generous whitespace.

The mark is simple and flat with no gradients or embellishments. The yellow frame is the dominant visual element; the gray wordmark is compact and evenly spaced, visually subordinate to the frame.
