rebadged

Same thing, new logo

Rebadged describes a product sold under a different brand name with minimal changes—most commonly vehicles manufactured by one company but sold under another's badge: The truck was just a rebadged version of the Japanese model.

The practice lets companies expand their lineup without developing new products.

Figuratively, rebadged suggests something old presented as new: His proposal was just rebadged austerity.
