Business Standard
Ace Indian Cricketer Rahul Dravid is set to become the brand ambassador for a new
avtaar of the Bank of Baroda (BoB).
Even as the bank expands its presence-both nationally and in the overseas markets, on
Monday it will shed its original log of a hand and a wheel of industry and agriculture
within a circle and adopt a new logo - the Baroda Sun.
Since its inception in 1908 in Gujarat, the bank has the logo of an industrial and
agriculture wheel with Sanskrit letters - `Akshayam te Bhavishyati' (the future is secure).
A hand overlapping a wheel was also part of the original logo. Now, on the threshold of
adopting new international standards, BoB clearly intends to project itself as a modern
and technologically savvy bank.
The new logo and the signing of Rahul Dravid as brand ambassador is also a clear
indication that the bank is trying to address the needs of the younger generation.
