=== 1956 to 1969 ===
Initially known as ''Radiotjänst TV'', the channel was renamed as ''Sveriges Radio TV'' after its parent company. It was usually referred to as ''TV'' for short, as it was the only television service available at the time.

During the 1960s, the television service usually used the Sveriges Radio logo as identification. It was designed by [[Karl-Erik Forsberg]] and is still in use by [[Sveriges Radio]]. At start up and closedown, the service used an ident slide consisting of an [[art deco]] version of central [[Stockholm]], with the [[Stockholm City Hall]] in the centre.

=== 1969 to 1980 ===
When a second channel launched in December 1969, 'Sveriges Radio TV' was renamed TV1. As colour television arrived a year later, TV1 started using a blue background behind their logo.

=== 1980 to January 1996 ===
TV1 and TV2 became part of [[Sveriges Television]] in 1980. The new company received a new logo a year later, designed by [[Sid Sutton]], with similarly designed logos for both networks.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=60395&a=704481|title=SVTs logotyper sedan starten|access-date=2009-03-21}}</ref>

On screen, the TV1 and TV2 logos were usually seen accompanying picturesque slides of the country and the station clock, although in-vision continuity was generally favoured for most junctions.

The ''Kanal 1'' revamp in 1987 saw the introduction of a computer-animated ident featuring Stockholm landmarks surrounding the logo. In-vision continuity was abandoned in favour of out-of-vision presentation over captions, although in-vision returned during the Christmas holidays, usually for the annual Christmas Eve continuity shift, handled by veteran broadcaster [[Arne Weise]].

Full-time in-vision continuity returned as part of a further revamp in 1994, two years before both networks launched a new look.

===January to October 1996===

===October 1996 to 2001===
The initial graphics for SVT1 and SVT2 were replaced a year later with a predominantly blue theme.

=== 2001 to 2008 ===
In 2001, a corporate rebranding by Timothy Wilkinson and Darrell Pockett from English & Pockett led to a further revamp, featuring SVT's new ''starflower'' logo. A warmer orange and red theme was adapted for the first network and updated two years later. The SVT logo consisted of an orange square with the numeral "1" in the [[Myriad (typeface)|Myriad]] font next to the starflower.

A new package was unveiled on 22 September 2003, marked by a warm color scheme.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sveriges Televisions public service-redovisning 2004 |url=https://omoss.svt.se/download/18.7c348ba01715d7a6e918cfb/1587649644411/public_service-redovisning_2004.pdf |page=27 |language=sv}}</ref>

All SVT presentation switched to widescreen in 2007.

=== 2008 to 2016 ===
SVT1 underwent another relaunch on 25 August 2008, designed by Stockholm-based ''Liberty''. While the new look did not feature the corporate logo, SVT1's idents featured a violet rectangle theme centred around a TV screen - the new graphics were designed by Dallas Sthlm.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://dagensmedia.se/mallar/dagensmedia_mall.asp?version=183007|title=Här är SVTs nya utseende|publisher=Dagens Media|date=19 August 2008 |language=sv}}</ref>

A review of SVT presentation led to the end of in-vision continuity on the network on Sunday 4 March 2012 - the last announcer to appear on camera was Justine Kirk. SVT1 now utilises out-of-vision announcers.
