New Delhi: Fashion clothing e-commerce Myntra is changing the logo after it received a complaint from a Mumbai-based activist who claimed that the brand’s logo was offensive towards the women.
The logo will be going through a change on all of its platforms including website, mobile app, packaging material. Avesta Foundation’s Naaz Patel lodged a complaint with cyber cell in Mumbai last month.
Rashmi Karandikar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Cyber Crime) spoke with PTI that “We called a meeting with Myntra following the complaint, they (Myntra) came and agreed to change the logo. They have sent an email as well on the same.”
However, the matter has drawn an immense response from netizens. Twitter is flooded with memes and jokes on this matter. Let’s take a look at it:
This user says a funny thing about not just the logo but the letter M.
This Myntra thing has ruined the letter M for me as a whole. Totally. Thanks.
