The new logo was launched at the weekend by channel Puls 4 to hundreds of complaints from viewers who said it looked like the Nazi symbol.
They claim it looks just like half a swastika, banned in Austria where Adolf Hitler was born.
"It’s a design question for us. The logo symbolises the number four," said Puls 4 spokeswoman Christina Patzl.
"We have no intention of changing the logo," she added.
But one viewer said: "Whenever it comes on screen all you can think of is that terrible symbol and what it meant."
