Vivo announces a new crowd sourced 'Make in India' Logo

Vivo has selected the final logo for the company’s Make In India initiative that was launched last year, after screening more than 3000 entries received pan India.

The winning logo was designed by Rahul Patel, a design enthusiast from Mumbai and crowdsourced on Talenthouse India, a division of Reliance Entertainment. It also stated that the winner will be awarded Rs 5 lacs as prize money. Additionally, ten runner-up winners will receive Vivo devices.
