Desi Corporates is a self initiated project. I take a famous non-Indian corporate's logo and tweak it in desi(Indian) style. Greyscale logos are originals and colored ones are my desi version. I will try to explain each one of these to make it more clear and enjoyable. Some will already be very simple.
PS. I do not try to defame originals or go against any specific corporate but i really hate some of them. :)
It has been a lot of fun doing this project. Some ideas just came like that and for some i had to search real deep.
anyways, original logos are copyright of respective coporate/firm/company. phew!
