Someone had to post it up

I can't stand their new logo... blue/red pseudo 3D with glints... looks weak

and that double "A" arrow = Anil Ambani!
And the sad thing about the same is that they spent 100KUSD on it... ( I suppose that's inclusive of those emotional Amitabh Ads )...

you are right rutam. it looks awesome and is weak. it will never work in reverse.
and furthermore it reminds me of Alitalia (now they have changed their colour to green, earlier it was blue andwhite and red (i think))

Alitalia Logo

Nice pick there with Alitalia logo
Btw if you catch the Reliance logo on tele, check out the horrible use of whitespace... it's as if they've stretched the logo to touch the sides of the screen.
As a matter of fact, it's illustrated in the images you've attached.. Alitalia logo looks better because of the generous spacing on all sides ( and brilliant typography ).

Omigosh, this Reliance logo is horrible. Who did it? And communications written so big in red, what can i say?
When internationally the trend is towards freshness this one looks from the 80s. Check telenor's logo. This is a scandinavian telecom and their new corporate look is amazing. Also see T-Mobile.

haven't seen any good logo from indian designers of late. we have such great award winning advertising profesionals, why are so bad in design? is it because we haven't learnt the tricks of palti galli which eventually helps raise the overall standard?

the new Reliance Logo was designed by David Aacker led
Prophet. Of course this logo is the result of a lot of strong inputs from the Client as well so the designers are not solely to blame
Couldnt find any info on the Prophet site though...

Oh, they better be careful with that name PROPHET...it could be a blasphamy for religious people.
