    OnePlus unveiled the company’s refreshed visual identity, including an updated logo, that aims to make the OnePlus brand more easily identifiable and versatile. The updates mark the most significant change to the OnePlus brand since the company was founded in December 2013.

     

    Said Mats Hakansson, Global Creative Director of OnePlus: “OnePlus is not changing who we are, but reinforcing what we stand for – the true spirit of Never Settle. We always design for our users. We feel that these changes maintain the iconic elements of our brand that are beloved by our staff and our community while injecting both excitement and balance into our visual identity.”

     

    A joint team of OnePlus in-house creatives and an external agency collaborated over nearly seven months to bring the refreshed brand identity to life. The goal was to unify all interaction with OnePlus, not just communications, but also the experience of using OnePlus’ products and services across all touchpoints.

     

    “No detail is too small. By starting from thousands of user data points, the team arrived at a new holistic visual language inspired by OnePlus’ burdenless philosophy,” added Hakansson. “OnePlus has grown a lot from an idea to a major smartphone player. Introducing a fresh new look is just one example of how we continue to bring our ‘Never Settle’ mantra to life.”

  • Canara Robeco’s new campaign decodes mutual funds in a fun way

    By A Correspondent

     

    Canara Robeco Mutual Fund, along with its newly appointed creative agency FCB India (Mumbai), has released a new campaign as part of its investor education and awareness initiative.

     

    Speaking on the occasion, Mohit Bhatia, Head – Sales & Marketing at Canara Robeco Mutual Fund said: “The task we were set out to do was to ensure that we reach Indian masses not to propagate a fund or an AMC, but to make investor education a more delightful and memorable experience for viewers. This was done by enriching their knowledge about the simple nuances of investing in Mutual Funds by stating their functional aspects in a simple & interesting manner that investors will find easy to relate with. This is part of our overall broad Investor Education campaign for Mutual Funds called smarTomorrows, which endeavors to highlight fundamentals around investing and various opportunities of investment that Mutual Funds provide. Our agency FCB India, has created an admirable investor education campaign that aims to demystify mutual fund investing for Indian investors through some very informative, simple yet memorable creatives.”

     

    Added a spokesperson from FCB: “Mutual Funds as a category is very challenging, as the communication has to target two key things – changing people’s perception that the category of financial products is complicated, and at the same time, increasing  memorability of a concept-oriented message. With Canara Robeco’s clear approach, we were able to do something extremely unique, bold and different. The visual tool used, and the mood of the films will ensure that the viewers are left saying ‘Kya Baat Hai’, every time they watch them. We are sure that this campaign will make people notice how mutual funds are one of the best options when it comes to investing your money.”
