But what does everyone think of the new Airtel logo? The old Airtel logo wasn't bad, but the new logo is supposed to give Airtel and the brand a more "youthful and international" look.
The verdict on Airtel's new logo has been mixed so far. While a lot of voices on Twitter have welcomed Airtel's new logo, a significant number have voiced their discontent, too. As I write this, fans of the old Airtel logo are bashing the new Airtel logo on Twitter as a crude inspiration of Videocon's new logo and Vodafone. From over 1000 responses on Fonearena's poll on Airtel's new logo, 50-percent voted against the new Airtel logo.
For all the voices of discontent, I wonder if there could be a hue and cry as big as the recent GAP logo redesign. GAP changed its iconic decades-old logo to something less iconic and the new logo was slammed unabashedly by fans. The result? GAP reverted to the old logo within a week. Although, such a reaction to Airtel's new logo looks highly unlikely, one can never be 100-percent sure.
Of all the tweets for and against Airtel's new logo, one sentiment was loud and clear, summed up nicely by Gul Panag's tweet: Airtel shouldn't sit pretty and bask on its current glory, but work towards improving its service. And Airtel's 3G launch will be a good first step on that path.
