One America News Network (OAN), also known as OANN, is an American cable news channel that launched on July 4, 2013, and is owned by Herring Networks, Inc., based in San Diego, California.[1] The network officially uses the acronym OAN in its logo and website, though it is commonly referred to as OANN on social media.[2]
Design and History
The OAN logo features a large white American bald eagle, a visual element that has been noted in press coverage of the network.[3] The eagle appears as the central graphic element of the network’s on-air and print identity. The logo file used in reference databases is identified as “One America News Network logo.svg,” indicating a vector-based mark.[1]
The network began broadcasting in 2013 as a headline service before shifting its programming approach in the run-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[3] No documented redesign dates, designer attributions, or official explanations of visual changes to the logo have been published in the available research sources.
Meaning and Symbolism
The bald eagle is the national bird of the United States and serves as the prominent symbol in the OAN logo.[3] The network’s name, “One America News,” and its launch date of July 4, Independence Day in the United States, align with the patriotic imagery of the eagle mark.[1] No official documentation of additional symbolic meaning behind the logo’s colors or composition has been located in the available research.
