Star Jalsha was launched on 8 September 2008. Its original logo style was also used by Marathi GEC Star Pravah. It was different from the logo style used by most Star channels until the early 2010s, such as Star Plus (until 2010), Star Vijay (until 2017) and Star Jalsha’s Bangla sister channel Star Ananda (until Star TV sold its news networks to the ABP Group on 1 June 2012, two weeks before Star Jalsha’s rebrand).

During a special celebration event called Chalo Paltai (meaning ‘let’s change’) on 17 June 2012, Star Jalsha introduced a new logo and graphics package. This ‘Diamond Star’ logo and graphics package was created by London-based design agency venturethree, which had also designed Star Plus’s Ruby Star in 2010, as well as the Star network’s corporate identity and Life OK in 2011.

The graphics consisted of segments of a rotating white crystal star with red accents, and the channel logo at the end of promos was usually placed against a crystal background. They were partly based on Star Plus’s Ruby Star graphics.

Chalo Paltai, which had appeared in the channel brand song when it was launched in 2008, was officially adopted as its slogan; in fact, the logo almost always appeared along with the slogan in social media pages.

The stylised ‘HD’ logotype with a modified H was borrowed from Star Plus HD’s 2011–2016 logo. This was also used by Star Pravah HD when it was launched on 1 May 2016, but the wordmark was changed in October.
== 2019–present ==
Star Jalsha rebranded on 17 February 2019 during a special event called Jalsha Dosh-e-Dosh (meaning ten on ten) to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the channel (which had taken place on 8 September 2018). It introduced a new graphics package after nearly seven years. The slogan remains Chalo Paltai (let’s change).

The wordmark is largely the same as its predecessor, but the word ‘HD’ is no longer stylised with a curl on top of the H. Instead it matches Star Plus HD’s 2018 logo.
For the first time in the history of the channel, the graphics are not red and white, but rather predominantly turquoise-green with hints of red and yellow.DreamDTH Colour cloudbursts (yellow background), spiralling sea anemone–like objects (red) and confetti showers (turquoise) make up the graphics package. As with recent Star network rebrands, such as Star Plus in 2018 and Star Gold in 2020, no design credit was given.

As with Star Plus in 2018, Kohinoor has replaced Fedra Sans Alternate as the onscreen typeface of the channel. However, Jalsha Movies has always used Kohinoor since its launch in 2012.
Marathi sister channel Star Pravah rebranded in a similar fashion on 2 December 2019, also introducing Kohinoor.
