Prima received a major makeover on 27 August 2017. While the logo remained the same, it launched a new graphics package that abandoned the longstanding Helvetica Neue font in favour of Hurme Geometric Sans No. 3. The channel’s news division, Prima Zprávy, was rebranded simultaneously. The rebrand was commissioned by the Czech creative agency Department, which has worked with FTV Prima on several occasions. From May 3, 2020, after the launch of CNN Prima News on-screen bug moved to right top corner (only on newscasts).
