On November 29, 2021, Standard Media Group unveiled a revamped KTN News logo, sparking a frenzy of reactions on social media.
The new logo, which was meant to give the channel a modern look, was met with widespread criticism for its striking resemblance to Sky News' emblem.
As the Twitter detectives quickly pointed out, the new KTN News logo was almost identical to the old Sky News logo, with only minor design alterations.
Netizens were quick to troll the company, with some accusing them of plagiarism and others questioning the designer's competence.
One tweep quipped, "Clearly Sky News was the muse," while another asked, "Someone was paid for this plagiarism?"
Despite the backlash, Standard Media Group remains committed to its rebranding efforts, which include a modernized newsroom and revamped logo.
The company's decision to rebrand its key products is part of a broader strategy to revamp its image and stay competitive in the market.
