The famed Televisa logo comes from the original 1973 design of architect Pedro Ramirez Vazquez, tweaked a bit in 2001 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Televisa: the logo represents the eye of a man looking at the world through a television screen. It still keeps the original logo's yellow and orange colors that are in contrast with a dark blue hue while the center of the logo is a sphere that represents the contemporary world as we know it today with its focus on communications, specifically television.

Televisa and Univision

Televisa has an ongoing relation with the US Univision network, stemming back to the 1960s, when Univision's predecessor, the Spanish International Network (SIN), was owned by Telesistema Mexicano, Televisa's predecessor. In 1986, Televisa became embroiled in a scandal with the SIN network news. The management wanted to produce and broadcast a newscast with Jacobo Zabludosky out of Miami. Half of the staff walked out of their jobs alleging Zabludosky was a puppet of the Mexican Government who had soft views with Castro's Cuba. The Televisa management was dumbfounded, they decided to move the now renamed Univision Network's HQ to Laguna Niguel, outside of Los Angeles to produce their shows from there including their beligered news division. They returned to Miami two years later. For the similar-sounding film format, see Univisium. ... The 1960s decade refers to the years from 1960 to 1969. ... Telesistema Mexicano is the broadcast distribution arm of Grupo Televisa, Mexicos largest broadcaster. ...

Televisa has been a longtime provider of programming to Univision and its sister networks.

However, in recent years, Televisa's relationship with Univision has become strained. It was involved in a dispute with Univisión over the censoring and editing of its programming as well as non-payment for transmission of its programming to Univisión's Galavisión and Telefutura networks. In one editing incident, an episode of Con Todo was not shown on Galavisión due to a host appearing in blackface, and the show did not return to the cable station for two years. A breach of contract lawsuit against Univisión by Televisa has also been filed. When Univisión came up for sale, a group including Televisa inquired about taking an up to 25% ownership stake (the maximum allowed by US law for a foreign buyer). However, a group of U.S. private equity firms eventually won Univision. For other uses, see Censor. ...
