On March 1, 2004, Polsat introduced a new set of graphics, but the on-screen bug from 2003 did not change until October 1, 2004, before it launched an updated national newscast, Informacje, which was renamed to Wydarzenia, only ten days after the channel's on-screen bug receiving a makeover of its own.

Polsat introduced its logo on February 27, 2006, along with a new set of graphics and idents featuring shining stripes in white, orange-yellow and red, as well as the FF DIN font being used in it. The logo and graphics were designed by Velvet Mediendesign, a Munich-based design agency.
It was originally planned to make four colored logos for each season (blue for winter, green for spring, orange with red for summer and red with burgundy for fall), but this idea was removed leaving one color (orange with red). This set of graphics was used for exactly 13 years, and although the logo remained unchanged, the network's set of graphics have been changed entirely, on February 27, 2019, with a new set, designed by another Munich-based design agency, Luxlotusliner, with its music score being composed by Christophe Blaser at Largoland Musicproduction.
On April 6, 2020, eight of Polsat's sister channels adopted a variation of its new set of graphics and music score: Polsat 2, Super Polsat, Polsat Film, Polsat Café, Polsat Doku, Polsat Play, Polsat Seriale and even its international counterpart, Polsat 1. The jingle used by Polsat in the B minor chord was modified for Polsat 2 and Super Polsat.

Telewizja Polsat revealed a new logo on June 10, 2021, along with both Plus and their newly rebranded Polsat Plus Group. However, all of Polsat's channels started to show elements of the rebranding just two months later, on August 2nd. The new logo now appears on not just Polsat's website, but also Plus and Cyfrowy Polsat's own websites.
