On 6 June 2017, Foxtel abandoned the Fox-esque branding for the first time in its 22-year history, which was part of a move to get more of Australia to engage with the service alongside a refresh of their SVOD service [[Foxtel Now]] (formerly Foxtel Play). Sydney-based MAUD is responsible for the new logo and campaign. The lettering was replaced by a lighter, sans-serif, lower-case logotype in a light red-orange hue. The new logo saw the return of a side-icon: six dots forming a pixelated ''f'', likely referencing the spotlight motif consistent with Foxtel's former branding.
