Yesterday, Equity Group celebrated their 35 years of existence in the Kenyan market. Equity Group is a huge brand in the Kenyan market that started with the popular Equity bank. The company has grown to include entities like Finserve which is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that trades under the name Equitel in Kenya.
The celebration that was held also led to the company launching a new logo. It is not uncommon to see companies rebrand their logos after a while and of course it usually leads to people having mixed feelings about it.
The old Equity logo looked like a house with a chimney and the word “Equity” written underneath. The new logo got rid of that and opted for a simpler roof silhouette of the old logo.
People love consistency and for some, this can be jarring to them. However, some can embrace a logo change and this was shown well on social media.
This sums up the logo quite well
#ANewLookEquity The new logo now features “Equity” without an entity name such as Group, Bank,Insurance, or Investment Bank. pic.twitter.com/NIctH2EFt4

Old was much better
Old Equity bank logo design was way much better than the new logo design ~ my opinion

However this person thinks it is not that bad
Equity Bank’s new logo isn’t that bad as people are claiming. It wouldn’t win any award either.

Hiya! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My weblog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.
I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be
able to fix this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
Thank you!
