Universal Kids HD was launched in June 2005, as a high-definition showcase companion service to Universal Kids, but not an actual high-definition simulcast of the channel. The channel broadcasts Universal Kids programming aired in its original widescreen format, along with ones being stretched to make it look like it was broadcast in HD. Not only it aired the linear main channel's shows, it also aired programming from Sprout in the mornings, movies from the Universal and Warner Bros. (under a brokerage syndication deal) film library as "Universal Kids HD Movie", and adult-oriented programming from Ibiso in the evening hours. Universal Kids HD also carried Nickelodeon programming (original widescreen format, or stretched-to-widescreen format), under a syndication agreement with Paramount Pictures until 2008, when a high-definition simulcast of Nickelodeon was launched. The bumpers during its launch day, were based on the logos for "Universal Kids Original Series" and "Universal Kids Original Production" used from 2003 to 2007, only the background were in five different variations (white, red, yellow, blue, and gray). It also showed bumpers for the main Universal Kids channel, only to fit in its standard widescreen format. Early Universal Kids HD bumpers from 2005-2006 showed special bumpers with the "Universal Kids HD" logo on various objects (i.e. tractor, sun, chicken egg, airplane, planet Earth, etc.), animated with computer-generated imagery on a artistic portraited cartoonish-styled background.

Universal Kids HD introduced a new logo in August 2007. The bumpers and graphics were similar to Teletoon in Canada from 2007 to 2011. The "Universal Kids HD" intro bumper was still used before the beginning of every Universal Kids show broadcast in high-definition until September 2011, even though Universal Kids and its high-definition counterpart already rebranded together.

With the arrival of Disney Channel and Cartoon Network launching their own high-definition feeds, Universal Kids HD became a high-definition simulcast of the main Universal Kids channel in Spring 2009. During that time and from now during on, the Universal Kids HD logo was mainly used as an on-screen digital graphic.
== 2011-2015 ==
In September 2011, Universal Kids introduced a new logo with the white "Universal Kids" logo stamped on a gold square. The new logo helped commemorate Universal's 100th Anniversary celebration in March 2012. As of June 2015, Universal Kids programming in high-definition mainly uses the general Universal Kids logo as well as the Universal Kids on-screen bug, like its original, standard-definition counterpart of the main Universal Kids channel. In September 2015, Universal Kids SD began simulcasting the channel's widescreen format in a letterboxed, standard 4:3 television format.
