Recently, it was reported that Mahindra & Mahindra, the popular homegrown UV maker, is planning to introduce a new logo. The new insignia will be rolled out in line with the company’s plans to revamp its corporate identity. This is being done to align the company’s visual identity with the fast-evolving market dynamics. Now, in a fresh development, the logo has leaked online and as expected, it’s made up of the brand’s initial ‘M’ inside a box. In months to come, this logo will be found on the carmaker’s UVs, which, in the words of the company, aim to offer “true-blue, no-nonsense SUVs that are true to the character”.
