Järva Teataja (tiraaz 5500) värskendas kujundust ning tuli uuel, 2009. aastal välja uue logoga. Seni jõulisemat kujundusstiili kasutanud ajaleht on uuenenud kujunduses kergem ja õhulisem. Eelkõige viitab sellele pealkirja uus font, mis on nüüd Whitney. Siiani must-valge logo asemel on uues ajalehelogos kasutatud sinist värvi. Seesama värv läbib ka kogu ajalehte. Järva Teataja kujundust uuendasid Vahur Kalmre ja Artur Kuus.
