Identity

The Nine Guide's onair look has been changed several times since its launch in August 2001. The channel initially had a blue colour scheme with white text, and a smaller 16:9 preview of Channel Nine.

A few years later, the Nine Guide had a revamp of its on-air presentation. The design had a daily colour scheme, alternating every twenty-four hours. The channel featured a similar sized 16:9 ratio preview of Channel Nine, and a National Nine News and weather slide at the top. On 30 January 2006 coinciding with the relaunch of Channel Nine's new logo and revamp on its on-air identity, the guide revamped with a new look and a larger 16:9 ratio preview of Channel Nine.

The Nine Guide then relaunched with a revamp again on 21 January 2007 coinciding with the revamp of Channel Nine's branding of its on-air identity. The guide now featured a similar sized 16:9 ratio preview of Channel Nine.

The previous onair identity of the Nine Guide launched on 1 December 2007 along with the new slogan: we♥tv. The guide featured a similar sized 16:9 ratio preview of Channel Nine.
