Snapdeal unveils new logo

The only secret to survive in this cut throat competition of ecommerce marketplace is continuously reinventing oneself. With the festive season knocking at the door, which has statistically proved to boost high sales for etailers, all are gearing up heavily.

The latest company to showcase its arsenal is Snapdeal, which has revamped its logo to exhibit a new brand identity.



Reports of the unveiling of the new logo before Diwali have been ripe since past few weeks, with sources stating that Snapdeal co-founder Rohit Bansal is reportedly working closely with advertising agency McCann Erickson in the project.
