The present invention relates generally to protective covers for satellite dishes having a dish reflector body including a front concave face, a rear convex face and a rim portion disposed between the front and rear faces thereof. The protective cover has a substantially rigid, cover body shaped to conform to, and fit over, the front concave face of the satellite dish. The cover body has a body wall constructed from a transparent material. The body wall has a front concave surface, an opposed rear convex face and a peripheral flange disposed therebetween. The peripheral flange extends about the cover body, rearwardly and away from the front concave face of the body wall. The protective cover further includes visual indicia carried on the rear convex face of the body wall. The visual indicia are protected by, and visible from behind, the body wall. When the protective cover is mounted onto the satellite dish, the rear convex face of the body wall is disposed adjacent the rear concave face of the dish reflector body and the peripheral flange of the body wall is disposed adjacent the rim portion of the dish reflector body.
