BREAKING. Your first look at Discovery channel's new logo and some show info on upcoming programming

You're reading it here first. It's been used elsewhere for a while but South African viewers will start to see this brand-new logo of the Discovery channel (DStv 250) from 4 October. The globe is now merged with the ''D'' and the font is thinner and the overall look and feel is more updated and ''space-agey''.

Also, check the list below to see if one of your favourite shows is returning or starting in the last quarter of this year!

Destroyed in Seconds II
