In August 2014, TV8 dropped the 2013 rebrand and introduced a new logo which does not feature the silver number 8 on an oval anymore. The logo are instead a silver-gradient-glassed number 8 which are shiny and blows up its three coloured curves of red, blue and white. The word "tv" are no more lowercase because it becomes uppercase instead and is connected twize for them. This ended the era of TV8's metal number 8 logo by giving the station a silver-gradient-glassed "8" logo which is created by Racecar and Red Bee Media.
