Over the past few weeks, governments worldwide have been urging citizens to practice social distancing, stay home and implemented travel restrictions. Both the governments in Singapore and Malaysia have been active in asking their citizens to maintain a distance of 1 metre. Not one to miss out on the situation, and lighten the atmosphere, brands and agencies in Malaysia have been playing up the situation...with their own twist on their logos.

Celcom

To urge consumers to stay in, Celcom changed its logo to a white circle with the hashtag #StayIn. The picture retains the blue colour commonly associated with Celcom. It also urged consumers to change their profile picture with the caption" We #StayIn As One, We Stay Safe".

Teleport Social

Teleport, the cargo and logistics arm of AirAsia temporarily changed its Teleport.social logo to reflect the distance between the words "Teleport" and "Social".

The Clan decided to spice things up and included emojis in its logo. In a Facebook post, the agency said it has been a week and it has experienced a range of emotions with the Restricted Movement Order but social distancing is a must. "So while we keep connected, let’s also keep a safe distance too," it added.

Separately, Malaysian telco Digi decided to change its network identity to "Digi-Stay Home" to remind users to adhere to the Movement Control Order (MCO) imposed. According to a Digi spokesperson, it thought that changing the network identity will be a simple yet effective way of reminding Malaysians to stay at home, since all 11.3 million subscribers on Digi’s network have the network identity label.
