To celebrate the 25th anniversary of ZEEL on 2 October 2017, a two-stage company-wide rebrand took place throughout October 2017. First, almost all Zee-branded TV channels, with the exception of Zing, introduced new logos on 15 October 2017. Then, on 30 October 2017, ZEEL and its non-television businesses presented a new corporate brand identity, designed by Lambie-Nairn (now Superunion).

Rather than following its rival Star in using rare and obscure fonts as the corporate font (in Star’s case, first Kohinoor in 2011 and then Cádiz in 2016 to complement Kohinoor), ZEEL adopted the widespread Gotham font as its corporate typeface. Gotham appears in the logos of almost all of ZEEL’s assets containing the Zee name, with the name of the entity immediately to the right of the Zee logo. (However, the corporate slogan, Extraordinary Together, appears below the Zee logo and not beside it.)
