India Post Logo - Design and History

India Post Logo India Post, India's Department of Post, is a government operated postal system in India; it is generally referred to within India as "the post office". The Indian Postal Service, with 155,333 post offices, is the most widely distributed post office system in the world (China is next, with 57,000). The large numbers are a result of a long tradition of many disparate postal systems which were unified in the Indian Union post-Independence. Owing to this far-flung reach and its presence in remote areas, the Indian postal service is also involved in other services such as small savings banking and financial services.
 
India Post unveiled a new logo in September 2008 to signify that it is all set to attune to the world class postal systems. The new logo has a rectangle in the shape of an envelope in deep red with the image of birds€™ wings in bright yellow. Red symbolises the traditional association with post office, along with passion, power and commitment, while yellow communicates hope, joy and happiness. It sends the message of India Post as a dynamic organisation with modern and professional approach in its service to the common man, business and corporate clients.
 
India Post will very soon acquire a number of aircrafts to carry letters, parcels and logistic consignments for making overnight delivery in major towns of the country. India Post will also offer a host of new customer services to be launched very soon. These will include express parcel post retail service, gift parcel post service, logistics post air service, sale of gold coins through retail post, express money order service, speed post call centres and a range of new international services. The unveiling of the logo marks a new beginning in the journey of India Post.
 
The new logo was built with the help of Ogilvy and Mather.

The new Dabur identity modernizes the 100-year old equity of the Dabur brand by subtly transforming the tree. While it retains the essence of the banyan tree, it now projects a contemporary image, in consonance with today's lifestyle. The tree, a symbol of nature, is indelibly regarded as a provider of shelter, food and protection. If you observe closely, you will see that the tree trunk mirrors the form for three people with their arms raised conveying exultation in achievement. The broad trunk represents stability and its multiple branches represent growth.
