Trial broadcasts first began under the Srbijašume 92 name on April 27, 2000. Its name derives from the then-collaboration between Serbia's national forestry company Srbijašume and Radio B92, which is where the number 92 in the channel's name derives from.
Srbijašume 92 changed its name to Terra on September 15, 2000. Being used for a little under three weeks, this was the shortest used name for the channel.

Further trial broadcasts continued after October 5, 2000 at around 15:30 as TV Vračar, while also using a temporary name of B2-92. A bit later, such broadcasts would end, and the channel would fully launch under the B92 name.
The logo was introduced on April 21, 2011. After 2012, it survived as part of the logo of B92 Info - and remained as such until the channel's shutdown in 2016.
The logo's introduction was preceded by reports about a purple rotatable cube suddenly appearing in Belgrade three days beforehand. A new set of colorful idents was also launched in order to coincide with the channel's new spring schedule. The new logo and the idents were designed by DixonBaxi, while the new theme music was composed by Sonic Tree Beograd. After the channel was renamed to O2.TV on September 11, 2017, the wordmark continued to be used on the website until the relaunch of the channel as B92 on March 1, 2020.
A variant was originally designed as early as 2014 in anticipation of the network's planned rebrand to OTV set to happen on January 1, 2015; however, this rebrand never happened, and B92 retained its old name. The rebrand would not be confirmed until August 25, 2017, when it was confirmed that B92 would be renamed to O2.TV on September 11; the logo itself was unveiled on August 30. O2.TV launched on September 11, 2017 at 6:30pm.
In summer 2019 and February 2020, news reports stated that O2.TV's name would be reverted back to B92. In the case of the latter period, the rebrand's date was initially projected as early March. Later that month, it was indeed confirmed that the rebrand would take place on March 1; it happened at 16:00 CET. The new logo was launched on the B92.net website as well, whose logo previously remained unchanged after the channel was renamed to O2.TV.
