TV Nova introduced a new graphics package in 2015, featuring a spinning Möbius-strip-like element and a custom typeface called Organica. However, the existing logo was retained.

On 4 February 2017, the other Nova channels were rebranded and introduced this graphics package, but in different colours; moreover, all Nova channels, including the flagship TV Nova (as well as Nova International, which airs in Slovakia), introduced a new logo system, consisting of the name of the channel in a coloured rectangle and a modified Nova wordmark. The three channels that were not Nova-branded (TV Smíchov, TV Fanda and TV Telka) were rebranded to Nova 2, Nova Action and Nova Gold, respectively.
