amiret Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 LINK The government on Tuesday sought to dismiss reports that the 'Make in India' logo was inspired by a Swiss bank advertisement, saying the symbol has a "vibrant and dynamic" lion as against a "dull and boring" picture in Switzerland's ad campaign. One of the most famous 'Make in India' logos comprises a lion with industrial wheels, while a similar picture has been noticed in the advertisement campaign of Cantonal Bank of Zurich. Soon after a news website reported about this resemblance after spotting the Swiss bank's ad campaign on a train in Zurich, social media went abuzz with comments that the 'Make in India' logo was copied from Switzerland. Seeking to dispel such suggestions, secretary in the department of industrial policy and promotion (DIPP) Amitabh Kant posted pictures of all 30 Make in India logos on Twitter and said all of these had "vibrant and dynamic" lions and none of them resembled the "dull, boring and monotonous Swiss or Cuban Lions". http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/govt-denies-make-in-india-lion-logo-inspired-by-swiss-bank-ad/article1-1354220.aspx It looks similar but the Lion is a cliched , oft-repeated symbol anyway .
amiret Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 ^ it has been reported in ET, TOI , ZEE , DNA,NDTV ...etc . They are only reporting the accusation and denials .
Precambrian Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I see a lion. I see some circles resembling levers, but the lion is clearly not composed of levers.. Nor it is the bank's logo. So what's the fuss here?
G_B_ Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 The lion is such a common symbol The truth is the Lion in Thailand and the Lion in Sri Lanka (flag etc) look incredibly similar. There is bound to be some commonality.
Crookbond Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 What a response to categorically deny plagiarism allegations - just nailed it! Seeking to dispel such suggestions, secretary in the department of industrial policy and promotion (DIPP) Amitabh Kant posted pictures of all 30 Make in India logos on Twitter and said all of these had "vibrant and dynamic" lions and none of them resembled the "dull, boring and monotonous Swiss or Cuban Lions". Indian Lions - master race!
amiret Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 The industrial lion for the 'Make in India' campaign was designed by the Indian subsidiary of the US agency Wieden+Kennedy. V Sunil, Executive Creative Director of Wieden+Kennedy, stoutly defended any charge of plagiarism "Since time immemorial Lion has been the official emblem of India. Stands for courage, tenacity & wisdom - all Indian values," DIPP secretary Amitabh Kant yes , courage , tenacity and wisdom are exclusively Indian values and NOT universal values that all humans aspire to . :facepalm:
BeautifulGame Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Why should this even matter ? Apart from filling pages for media
zen Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Lol at the fuss .... Those who made the unnecessary fuss should be billed for wasting GOI's (not political parties) time
mishra Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 zürcher kantonalbank logo is nowhere related to lion unless they are financing Make In India or both Make In India and zürcher kantonalbank logo are advertised on same bogey/car. Did Indian media confirmed that the image is of zürcher kantonalbank?
mishra Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Biggest scam of Modi government. Made in India logo :phehehe:
