The Nine Network, or Channel Nine, is an Australian television network based in Willoughby, a suburb on the North Shore of Sydney In 1998, the dots were changed to spheres. [22]

Three-dimensions were added to the letters WIN in 2002, coinciding with a revamp of the network's on-air identity, concurrently with Nine Network. [22] On January 30, 2006, the station relaunched its logo to coincide with the Nine Network's fiftieth year of broadcasting. Events 1648 - Eighty Years' War: The Treaty of Münster is signed ending the conflict between the Netherlands and Spain Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. The new logo designed by Bruce Dunlop Associates saw the removal of the nine dots, with a blue rectangle added to behind the letters WIN. Following this in 2008, blue rectangle was removed from the logo. WIN, however, did not follow the Nine Network in reviving the nine dots. [23]
