NDTV unveils new corporate logo; gears up with all-new look
By Schubert Fernandes | 27 Feb 2003
Designed by Los Angeles-based TAG Creative Brand Solutions in collaboration with NDTVs design team, the new logo retains the connectivity of the letters from the original logo with a stronger, more modern mark.
A red dot with a strong and distinct motif has been added in order to tie the logo together while reinforcing the recall from the previous logo. It also communicates NDTVs core brand values of integrity, credibility, balance and innovation, with added characteristics of energy and passion for quality.
Says Roy: The idea behind the new logo is to maintain continuity with the original logo, while giving it a more contemporary look and ensuring that the same works across all media. The new corporate logo is aimed at communicating the core brand values and NDTVs philosophies as a media house.
NDTV appointed TAG after going through pitches from the worlds top-class graphics and design agencies in the world. At least four international companies from different parts of the world flew down to India to make a bid for the NDTV business. Once the basic designs were agreed on, TAGs team in collaboration with NDTVs design team produced the finished animations.
Tom Connor founded TAG, a privately held company. It offers a range of services in visual media design including logos and corporate identity that could be on-air, in print or on the web. It also offers brand communications solutions audits, brand positioning briefs, marketing communications plans and brand research studies.
