E-commerce brand Myntra has decided to redesign its existing logo following a complaint that claimed it was offensive towards women. The complaint was lodged with the Mumbai Cyber police alleging that the current logo of the online shopping portal is "offensive and insulting to women”, according to reports.
The complaint was filed by Naaz Patel from NGO Avesta Foundation in December last year. "We found that the logo was offensive in nature for women. Following the complaint, we sent an email to Myntra and their officials came and met us. The officials said they will change the logo in a month's time," DCP Rashmi Karandikar, Cyber Crime Department of Mumbai police, told the Hindustan Times.
Myntra will change the logo on the website, app as well as its packaging material.
Meanwhile, netizens are having field day with Myntra-related memes and jokes after the Flipkart-backed online shopping giant decided to change the logo. Here are some of the reactions:
