Meaning and history
2000 – 2012
The 2000 design has ‘Micromax’ written in squat, wide letters. Besides the capital ‘M’, every other letter is black here. The former, for its part, is white and put inside an orange circle with some shading and lighting effects.
2012 – 2016
This evolution used the same writing font, except the letters grew a bit bolder. Moreover, much of the logo became orange, save for just a bit of white for ‘M’ and ‘I’. These, for their part, were arranged into a sort of clenched fist, where these letters represented knuckles and fingers. The rest of the ‘fist’ was orange, as well.
2016 – Today
The Micromax logo is a perfect reflection of the company’s dynamic and young character.
The orange punch logo is a true mirror of the brand which is innovative, bold, extrovert and fun. It is inspired by a hand, holding a mobile phone. The hand knuckles form an ‘M’ and an inverted ‘i’ of ‘Micromax.’
The color palette is as brave and fresh as the whole logo composition. The contrast of orange and white makes the logo look young and bold.
The Micromax logo was developed through an extensive crowdsourcing exercise undertaken by Micromax, in association with Talent house India, inviting participants to submit their version of the brand’s visual identity icon. Eric Atkins was the winner of the competition.
