Univision is by far the most-watched Hispanic television network in the United States.

Yesterday, October 17, it unveiled a new logo, intended to signify the transformation the network has gone through in its history. It was the result of a collaboration with Wolff Olins.

The stylised U used by Univision up until now has been reshaped slightly and turned into a three-dimensional object, and the four separate slices that made up the symbol have been joined. The stated intention is for the symbol to resemble a heart.
