In May 2016, Sonic-Nickelodeon changed its name and logo to Nickelodeon Sonic.

On April 15, 2024, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Nick HD+ rebranded with the splat logo. However Nickelodeon Sonic remained unchanged and kept the 2016 logo until 2025.

A while after the absorption of Viacom18 into JioStar, Nickelodeon Sonic shifted gears to being a sister channel of Hungama TV and broadcasting its programs. Following this, in April 25, 2025, it changed its name and logo to simply "Sonic". The Nickelodeon logo was dropped during the promo of Bittu Bahanebaaz.

In May 2025, Nickelodeon Sonic was officially rebranded to Sonic TV, but the screen bugs and some promos are the same as the 2016 logo until June 2025.
