NDTV unveils new corporate logo
NEW DELHI: New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) promoted by Dr Prannoy Roy, has unveiled its new corporate logo. The logo will symbolise the new corporate identity for NDTVs new avatar as a premier broadcasting house.
Designed by Los Angeles based TAG Creative Brand Solutions in collaboration with NDTV’s design team, the new logo retains the connectivity of the letters from the original logo with a stronger, more modern mark.
A red dot. more like the ‘bindi’ sported by Indian Hindu married women, with a strong and distinct motif, has been added in order to tie the logo together while reinforcing the recall from the previous logo. It also communicates NDTV’s core brand values of integrity, credibility, balance and innovation, with added characteristics of energy and passion for quality, a company release says.
An official statement from NDTV, quoting Roy said: “The idea behind the new logo is to maintain continuity with the original logo, while giving it a more contemporary look and ensuring that the same works across all media. The new corporate logo is aimed at communicating the core brand values and NDTVs philosophies as a Media house.”
Roy earlier this month had said the two proposed news channels from NDTV would be launched simultaneously around 1 April. However, it is yet to receive permission from the government to uplink the English-language channel.
NDTV appointed TAG after going through pitches from a number of international graphics and design agencies. Four companies made a bid for the NDTV business. Once the basic designs were agreed on, TAGs team in collaboration with NDTVs design team produced the finished animations.

Key sessions include ‘Diplomacy in Times of War’ featuring Shashi Tharoor, and ‘World After the Iran Conflict’ with voices such as Ram Madhav, Reuven Azar, representatives from the European Union and the Iranian Deputy Envoy. Another session titled ‘Another Dunkirk?’ will bring together K. J. S. Dhillon and Jitin Prasada among others.
CNN-News18 editorial affairs director Rahul Shivshankar said, “In times of war, clarity becomes the most powerful tool. Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave brings together credible voices to address the questions and confusion that arise amid an overwhelming influx of information.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at delivering “facts, perspective, and insight” at a time when misinformation can easily cloud public understanding.
Echoing the sentiment, CNN-News18 CEO– English and business news Smriti Mehra said the conflict marks a defining global moment, with consequences that extend well beyond the region. She noted that the conclave seeks to present the crisis with “depth, nuance and responsibility” so audiences can better grasp its real-world impact.
As geopolitical tensions continue to dominate headlines, the conclave positions itself as an attempt to bring order to the noise, offering viewers a structured, insight-led look at a complex and rapidly shifting global situation.
