Nokia announced a new logo for the first time in 60 years. In an event, which took place on Sunday, the business technology company announced the rebranding activity to meet the trends of the changing world.
The company’s new logo consists of five different shapes which form the word NOKIA. The old blue coloured iconic logo has been dropped by the company for good.
Once a market leader, Nokia slipped behind several other mobile phone companies in the last few years. The company, with its renewed aggressive approach, is trying to make it back to the top.
