DHIRAAGU .. an act of desperation!

Yes! i did wonder what the question mark was all abt all over male' ... and i did think it was Wataniyyaa... but infact it turned out to be the total opposite... which was pretty amazing and pretty silly as well.. in fact the silliest part for me was the stupid new logo which they are craving so much abt!

Its amazing when the best graphics designers from Maldives and Sri Lanka have been working on this logo for 2 yrs and come up with this.... it looks pathetic and as far as i know, no one whome i know say anything good abt the logo either..

And i wonder why suddenly change the color to red and white? could it be that maybe the new telecom company Wataniyyaa is gonna be starting pretty soon and their colors are red and white as well.. so maybe Dhiragu is just playing some silly game.. who knows! they have been playing this silly game for a long time...

Seriously!! what does this logo mean... ive been tryign to figure it out for the past 2 days and let me try to tell you what i feel..

ok for a start the palm.... its supposed to be a D which stands for Dhiraagu...
the fingers.. hmmm!! just showing an open hand i guess!!
ok so togethere there seems to be some kind of a meaning of opening their arms towards the customers... but with the awkward asymmetrical graphic it does look like some kind of logo infront of a store at a theme park or at a childrens festival.

Also with the text written in a hand written font, it does loose the professional look as i see it.
dont you think? the precious logo with the "sangu" and "globe" realy suited well, but this... crazy!

honestly !i dont mind this logo or any logo which they have, but i want the services to be more cost effective.. As Mr.Waheed, Dhiraagu CEO said on the logo launching ceremony with regard to what customers were saying.....“We have been listening to our customers and they are telling us a number of things, ‘We like Dhiraagu, you are familiar to us and generally provide good service and value, however, your image doesn’t fit well with some of the new products and services coming to market’”

thats great! thank dhiragu for listening to their customers,, but i believe the customers would want to get services at more affordable rates rather than wanting dhiraagu to have a new logo... so lets get the preferences right first....

Damn right dude!! When i saw this logo, the first thing i said was "Eheree magey vaathu oshuga kess falhaafatha" Im sure even my 5 yrs old sister will design a better logo than that.. shame on you dhiraagu!! we have so many creative graphic designers here. you got to hire some!! And throw out those ppl who designed that "vaathu oh with kess on top" logo.. Or get back to ur old one!!
