Fashion e-tailer Myntra is changing its logo following a complaint by a Mumbai-based activist who alleged that the brand’s signage was offensive towards women. When contacted, Myntra confirmed the development.
The logo is being changed across Myntra’s website, app and packaging material. The complaint had been lodged last month with the cyber cell in Mumbai by Avesta Foundation’s Naaz Patel.
However, the matter has drawn a mixed response from netizens. While some have welcomed the company’s decision to change the logo, many said such demands for logo changes seemed whimsical.
